halloween and other storis

yep, october 31st, but still thinking about the professional practice project, ghosts or no ghosts. anyhoo, created a facebookgroup aptly named "on art and architecture", classified it though as student group and then in the subcategory as academic group. invited three people, but did just specify my request for input in one. am kind of learning how to use this group application while i go. the first invitations i sent without request for input and after i sent them i could not really go back, the software did its own thing. read today something in the Georgia Straight about how to start a student news paper. someone at kwantlen is starting one, his budget was 300 000 dollars though. maybe, i am making a mistake here. my budget was 1000 bucks period. i thought of 100 copies of a magazine at a dollar a pop each. ten months and you have 1000 dollars. obviously this is just printing cost, thus writing and typing is pro bono. for the fun of it, for the love of being part of something bigger than yourself. well, good luck. anyways, each volume would have twenty pages, on ten sheets of paper, doublesided. have to learn how to do the doublestitching thingie. vaguely remembered reading the last edition of "emigre", how the founder learned how to stitch the papers together to make a magazine. he did that to get a green card,. something like that. anyways, "emigre" was pretty big.
