Announcing the Vermont Journal
A few months ago, I was in a funk one night so I decided to clear my head by aimlessly wandering around the streets—my usual cure, which I’ll probably do tonight too. I was trying to think of some collaborative projects I could do to get me out of my funk. One idea was to start a collaborative journal that would travel around Burlington or all of Vermont, but I didn’t know how to do it (you may recall me briefly mentioning it). The Goddess of collaborative projects must have been looking down on me because a few days later I heard about 1001 Journals, a website that could manage such a project.
Today, I finally put the Vermont Journal into action: I bought a journal (the virgin Moleskin in the photo) and setup an account on 1001 Journals. You are all welcome to participate by contributing your writings, drawings, collages, photos, or whatever. The only rule is that is must stay in Vermont. Sign up now or just email me and I’ll send/hand it to you.
Like most things I do, I don’t know why I’m doing it. I’ll worry about that later. I might change things and it’ll just be something I give to my comrades. I suppose it’s an experiment—like the 1000 Journals Project stickers I have on everything I own say, “The is an experiment and you are part of it.”

Too bad I don’t live in vermont. However, I was looking at our con(text)ural. I love that thing. Could I link my site to your site to that project? We should do another thing together. You up for another collaboration? I leave for Ireland in a couple weeks, I’ll be back mid July.

Seeing as how no one has expressed interest in it, I’ll give it to anyone anywhere. Let me know and I’ll send it to you.
Sure, link away.
I’d be interested in another collaborative project. Let me know when you get back. Have a good trip. Send me a postcard.
