My dearest friends:
I am planning to put together a collection of creative works done by the six of
us. This will commemorate our friendship and artistic accomplishments. I was
inspired to begin this project when Rita read me one of her poems and began to
describe something that Anna wrote that sounded amazing. It just made me think
about how much talent there is in our group and how, at least I personally would
like to be able to have a piece of that to remember you guys by.
Please lend me anything you are willing to share (or you can just give me a
copy I can keep.) Submissions may be any number of things.
For example:
poems, short stories, essays, monologues, other writings, songs, sound
or video clips, photography, collage, doodles, “napkin art”, drawings,
sketches, paintings, computer graphics, sculpture, crafts, anything else
you could possibly imagine... whatever you’re into!!
Content is completely open ended, I will include anything your interested in having
“published.” As long as everyone participates, an equal amount will be included
from those involved. I will probably be compiling these on my computer, so you can
email me anything you have ready on your computer. Also, I currently have access
to a scanner, color printer, CD burner and possibly a microphone(?) that can be used
to digitalize your work. Undeveloped film can be put onto a CD or floppy disk
when you take it to be developed.
The project is still taking form. The final product may be anything from a
book, to a CD ROM, a website, an audio CD (with digital audio clips of music, and
written work read aloud), or any combination of these.
I can’t make this happen with out your help. If you aren’t into this idea it’s
not going anywhere. This is for you guys, so I am totally and completely open to
any input; I actually encourage it. I want this to be a group project, as much as that
is possible. Ideas about the title and format are welcome ASAP. Unfortunately,
unlike with the BFF mixes, I may require that anyone interested chips in a little for
supplies. Also, if for whatever reason you would like to be excluded from
production, but you still want to have a copy when it’s finished, I would still like to
ask that you donate a small amount for the cost of making your copy.
I’m hoping to finish this before graduation in June. We can make it happen,
but only if you all want to. I promise to keep everyone informed and up to date. If
you are interested let me know. This could be really awesome if we don’t just let it
slip away due to laziness.
If anyone has questions, comments, ideas or materials that can be utilized;
you can contact me anytime at:

Yours truly,
DRE
