Pink Moon 2010 Update
May 7, 2010 The Heavy Duty Press and Driftless Books will host Lorem Ipsum, a vintage motorcycle gathering at The Forgotten Works Warehouse in the heart of the driftless region on July 24!
The Official Lorem Ipsum Vintage Motorcycle Rally web page, updated July 4, is packed with more details, including the official press release, suggested routes, and helpful links to other attractions around the beautiful driftless region of Southwest Wisconsin. Hope to see you there!
Wolf Moon 2010 Update
February 6, 2010 Exciting news here is the soon-to-be-open Forgotten Works Warehouse in Viroqua. I have recently become good friends with Mr Eddy Nix, proprietor of Driftless Books (formerly located in Viola, Wis.). We will be working together in the years to come establishing the Midwest Center for Slow Media in a 100-year-old tobacco warehouse. The grand opening of the new Driftless Books retail store (an active online used book dealer) within the Warehouse will be March 20. If you would like more information regarding the warehouse, become a fan of the Forgotten Works Facebook page, contact me, or come and visit us at 518 Walnut Street in Viroqua.
As always, if you're interested in purchasing any of the collages or books you find on this website, please contact me. I accept payment through Paypal, and I promise to ship promptly.
Thank you and happy stargazing.
Harvest Moon 2009 Update
October 5, 2009 Neil Young has apparently taken a turn for the positive. This year at Farm Aid, Mr Young tore off his trademark red STOP FACTORY FARMS t-shirt in super hero fashion to reveal a green GO FAMILY FARMS t-shirt (designed by yours truly) given to him earlier in the day by Organic Valley farmer Jason Stensland. If you, too, would like to show your support for organic family farms (please do), you can get the original organic cotton GO FAMILY FARMS t-shirt from the Organic Valley General Store.
HEAVY DUTY NEWS The Heavy Duty Press website will be updated quarterly (as opposed to the former lunarly updates of the past year or so) in 2010. As explained in previous scribblings, the time to set up the letterpress again is finally upon us, and that means spending a lot less time on the computer. Thank God.
Because the next update is not scheduled until late January 2010, it is worth noting here that we all will be treated to a once-in-a-blue-moon special this year: with two full moons in December 2009, an extra-unusual Blue Moon will preside over the night sky on New Year's Eve 2009! How many more reasons do you need to party?
