Assembling Jack Kerouac ephemera dossiers and stamping postcards, scribbling letters while chatting, grouching about misplacing things and listening to REM’s “Fables of the Reconstruction.”
many items, carefully curated, into envelopes (with splendid stamps of course)
Hang out, no big deal.
PS Wanna get some artifacts for your archive and amusement? Be sure to watch the “Kerouac in Kobe” video to the end.
Bonus from Simon Warner, author of “text, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll” and writer/curator of highly recommended “Rock and the Beat Generation” newsletter, who says:
Thank you, Dave Olson, for sharing such a great selection of Kerouac in Kobe 2020/2021 exhibition artefacts: what a wonderful gathering of programmes and images, text, recordings and postcards!
Look out for an interview at Rock and the Beat Generation with the Canadian bodhisattva of Japanese Beat very soon
Simon Warner shares the assortment of Kerouac in Kobe artefacts / which arrived to UK in about a week from Japan, hooray for postal services!
Went back-and-forth to the post office to send out a bunch of “Kerouac in Kobe“ ephemera dossiers and a few poetry books – decorated with splendid stamps of course – but wow, wiped out just from the wander. Have a hospital day tomorrow so better rest #MECFSpic.twitter.com/bKtEcnP2ER
