Thank you, Megan! Your notes are great. It was wonderful to meet you and Stephen. We’re having a discussion about the union catalog this afternoon at the Zine Libraries (un)Conference. http://mkezluc.wikispaces.com

Thank you for stopping at Linebaugh! It was a really great experience to meet all of you, listen to the readings, and leave fingerprints on possibly every one of the zines in the Mobile. I think the mobile is a great (greatgreatgreat) idea and I’m excited to see it grow! Let me know if you’re ever in the area again! More exclaimation marks!!

The blog post I wrote is at http://studiomnivorous.com/blog/2011/07/08/from-a-to-zine-a-night-with-the-orderly-disorder-tour/ and I hope you’ll like it. Feel free to drop me & my partner, Stephen, a line sometime about pursuing catalog code. And I’d like to hear more about the new formats you’re considering for the mobile. And John should really try biscuits and gravy instead.

Travel safe, and I look forward to hearing how things go!

Best, -m

Thanks for letting those of us who couldn’t make it to a stop experience the tour vicariously.

I’m working on a dissertation about bookmobiles as tools for building and contesting community in the U.S., and I’m pretty sure this project is among the coolest things I’ve come across in quite a while.

I posted some of my thoughts about it at HASTAC (http://www.hastac.org/blogs/derekattig/connecting-dots-fly-away-zine-mobile) and also on Bookmobility (http://bookmobility.tumblr.com/post/7369383230/flyaway).

Thanks again, and as I say there, I look forward to seeing what comes next!
