Subject: [Baren 18006] Bay Area Fun 

So nice to hear of the success of Baren meeting at Bea's. She is indeed a
GREAT HOSTESS. We had the pleasure of a visit last year.

I'll be giving another class at Kala August 10 and 11, and could meet up
with Jean/Bay Area Barener's around that date. I'll be driving down to Santa
Cruz to see my parents, so I don't have a lot of time, but do let me know
about your plans for meeting.

best,

April

Bea et al,

Golly, printing is precisely where I need help!  I have a severe case of the
blobbies.  They come out of remission when I am supposed to do a public
print demonstration.  I hope Ruth has room for me in July.  This working
full time stuff really cuts down on the printmaking opportunities.  I'm
sorta jealous.  On the other hand, the kids are really cute: they bring out
my old mothering instincts.  Maybe I'll break away from landscapes for
awhile and do some people prints.  I don't need to take photos for that.
There are plenty of good kid pics in the Mervyn's ads.  Also, I bought a How
To Draw Manga book on EBay. You too can draw a snarling little critter.
Ugh!
Jean

Hi, 

I'm a new member.  My name is Suzi Sutherland-Martin.  I'm friends with Wanda 
Robertson and Barbara Mason, that's how I heard about baren.  I've been 
looking at their prints from exchanges for a while now and it looks like a 
lot of fun to join in.  I've taken two Japanese Woodcut workshops here in 
Portland, but am still really a lino block person.  Haven't really learned 
how to sharpen my tools, as it just never seems necessary when I stick to 
linoleum blocks.  I aspire to make prints like Wanda's some day, though!

Subject: [Baren 18009] Virus alert 

I was gullible when a message came to me from an old friend. Even though the
subject line was weird, I fell for it.

The result-a total wipeout of my hard drive, and will cost almost $3000 to
restore two years work--a great amount because I had not been religious in
my backing-up everyday.

I confess I had been powering forward with my newfound ability to build DVDs
of short, bite-sized demos and lengthy documentaries from my video archives
as well as up to the minute, literally, documentation of my FOlio #13
"Music" theme print titled "Homage to Hayter."

I don't think I spread the virus further, but in case you get a message from
ritchie@seanet.com and it looks more weird than my usual, don't open it.
Delete it, even if you save it to a floppy.

This is a commong type of virus--they've almost stopped naming them because
there is an average of one new virus a day.

Now I'm trying to think of a fundraiser, though I don't deserve any help. I
should'a been backing up all the time.

The good thing is I think it will actually give me more time to work on my
Music print and some book projects this month.

Be warned.
