‘Work with Arlo & Janis’

By Jimmy Johnson


a
I’ll return to the classic A&J cartoons soon, but I want to announce, formally, that the oft-delayed Kickstarter campaign has launched. It went live yesterday about noon. I did post a short message about it late yesterday morning, and I want to thank those of you who already have responded. The campaign is a third of the way to its $10,000 goal already! Yes, fund raisers must set a goal within Kickstarter, and if that goal is not met no funds are collected. It’s as if nothing ever happened. However, this is the point where I should mention that the sky is the limit when it comes to exceeding the stated goal. Insert smiley face.

I’m new to all this myself. We have a lot to talk about. For one thing, exactly what is this big project for which I’m campaigning? And there’s much to talk about in the area of rewards, which will be the fun part. They’re fluid, by the way. Rewards can be changed or added during the course of the fund-raiser. Let’s do it this way: if you’re at all interested, go to my Kickstarter page; watch the silly little video over which I toiled for hours and hours; familiarize yourself with the project; check out the rewards. We’ll meet back here over the next few days, and I’ll try to cover all the questions. Whether you participate or not, I hope you enjoy the project. Go here: Work with Arlo & Janis

    Don’t know about you, sand, but I never wore my kilts that short, even in the 70’s.

    As of a few minutes ago, the Kickstarter site shows pledges already total 57.9% of the goal. (I did the math.) I don’t know how many ways these projects are publicized, but at this point I don’t think it would be much off the mark to assume most of those originated in the Village.

    Looks like an Arlo and Janis moment to me: http://www.oldpicsarchive.com/1970s-lifestyle/54/

    Had the same thought, Mark. Then I seemed to recall Janis saying Arlo would rather get a bikini wax than paint.

    And when Janis mentioned a bikini wax, I could help but wonder…well, you know.

    Most of those 70’s clothing designers must have been dropping acid…or wanted people to think they had been.

    I want an original sketch, that would be the most special thing to pick for me, but that new book looks good too, it’s probably full of all the strips I personally saved in my A&J album, maybe I’ll just pledge again. …. Formerly John in Richmond TX, I got out of the big widowed house into a place maybe four miles from where I was born downtown (if you’re in the area, it’s the SE corner of Westpark and Edloe) So much stuff, to give to charity, give to friends, or trash, I’m gonna chill in this nice apartment for while with no yard and no repairs. I’m walking distance to shopping – I’ve never had urban living before, it rocks! My door to the ice cream freezer in Kroger is 400 steps.

    In the grand scheme of things, with all the senseless violence in the world, having a license plate stolen off your car on your driveway is merely troubling. And will cost $11 to replace. And I’ve been told not to drive it until I get new plates.

    eMb [& anyone else]: Exactly how does one close up the “expl ore” before clicking? I’ve tried what seems reasonable methods, but nothing happens.

    Good morning Villagers….

    That is one big boat….get a bigger trailer, Jackie. And yes, you look marvelous, darling.

    Inspector still have not shown up….watch them show up today. Still not ready, but hen house looks better.

    John in Houston….400 feet to the local food store freezer….well, be sure and get one of those insulated bags to carry your freezable items. Glad you made the move. Urban living can be hectic, but just pace yourself and let those Houstoners do their own thing.

    Dad is good, but does not well. Still don’t think he’s drinking enough though. Going back in this afternoon…run the vacuum. I believe Sister #4 comes home today.

    Woke up thinking it’s Saturday.

    Steve, that you for the uplift, beautiful song.

    A/C man came in got it running good, did some major cleaning on it, and added Freon.

    gotta go….

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The design and style look great though! Hope you
    get the problem resolved soon. Thanks
