[AGL] The IB my boo boo, but E.A.S.T Austin Art Tour is happenin'!

[Frances Morey]

Well, Mike, my naivety brought about a modicum of dialog so, apparently, no harm done. 
 
I am all excited about the East Austin Studio Tour. RBJ is #1 on the roster of places to visit. One of our residents is a very prolific artist whose apartment is fashioned into his art studio. It is so nice to see it.
I understand that it costs nothing to do the tour, which might even be possible on bicycle, and having done it in the past, [this is the number 7 times that it has been mounted], 
I find it very interesting and enlightening that so much art is being created in this area, the Austin version of the Mission District, and fast becoming gentrified. Why we even have a new upscale book store on East Cesar Chavez!
Hope some of you can make it. Just the free booklet with all the artist's represented is mind boggling. It is a keeper.
Best,
Frances

no, you misunderstand. i'm fine with fluff.

but if you keep reading down at the bottom
it is urged that the message be passed on.

that is what is meant by a chain letter.

it used to be illegal to send chain letters thru
the post office (it may still be)

on the Internet it is merely extremely bad
Netiquette. i used to have unreachable
standards for AGL now sadly abandonned

howevre some still remain in place:
chain letters on AGL are a no-no
PERIOD (pardon my French)
