I started a new blog called Finding My Religion. I didn't think of it as an Eximious Press project, at first, but the more I write to it the more I see it as an interesting artistic experiment. I'm being extremely honest with myself in a very public way and, in doing so, I think I'm doing my part to approach religion as a philosophy - something that'll lead to discussion, compromise, and understanding.

I know that's a big task - much bigger than little 'ole me, that's for sure - but that's why I'm hoping it'll open up some sort of dialog. So I hope you all check it out and leave whatever comments you'd like - I'll try to respond to each one.

I just got back from doing a lunchtime talk at the Georgetown Senior Center. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. I had lunch with the folks there and then we all sat in a circle and I talked about the book. I started out by talking a bit about graphic novels and how they're not just superheroes and Archie anymore and then went into the genesis of the project. That was about ten minutes. I then spent about fifty minutes talking about the cards in my collection and we had great little discussions, plenty of laughs - it was a really fun time and everyone there was engaging and taking part in the discussions.

I was also encouraged to try to take my talk to Oprah, The Today Show, various NPR programs, and the Smithsonian. I'll get on that...

I have been devouring Marty Weil's Ephemera Blog ever since I found it (when he mentioned POSTCARDS a month ago). Recent favorites included...

1) An interview with candy wrapper collector Darlene Lacey (look at that Mr. T Gold Chain Bubblegum!)
2) Dirty Comics!
3) And, of course, some night-scene postcards.

Go check it out!

...any introduction to the work of cartoonists Phil Hester or Tom Beland is something worth writing home about.

The wonderful folks at Current TV hooked me up with producer Gabe Uhr to make a short pod on POSTCARDS. I don't know its TV schedule yet and I'll be sure to fill you all in when I have that but, for now, you can view it online. Enjoy!

I thought this was pretty cool. I got an email forwarded to me from Whitney Matheson (along with the note, "aww, you totally made this woman's day!") that says...

Dear Whitney,

I found an Amazon box on my porch when I got home from work tonight. Not unusual, but I didn't remember ordering anything within the last week or so. Inside was a wrapped present. Cool, I thought. I read the card: While vanity searching my book on Google, I came across your wishlist and thought I'd treat you to an early birthday present. Enjoy! --Jason Rodriguez, Editor: Postcards. Jason sent me a copy of Postcards!

My birthday is in two weeks and I'm quite sure this is going to be my favorite present! I knew I had added it to my wishlist after a recommendation from you. I thought you should know that 1) this guy must be really cool and 2) you helped score me an awesome surprise.

I love the idea behind this book. I've been known to buy random postcards and tintypes from antique stores. I can't wait to read it. If you talk to Jason, tell him I said Thanks!

Sharon


I've been thinking of doing a Random Acts of Kindness kind of thing. Occasionally buying the book for someone who has it on their wishlist or their GoodReads "to-read" list. It's nice to know people appreciate it if I do go through with it...

Oh, and Happy Birthday to Sharon Gunter!
