a silk-screen workshop would be great. i've gotten started, but i'm still pretty sloppy on some of my equipment and could use any advice. if anyone is planning on it just post the date and time (preferably a weekend). _________________ Gonzalez

This is how you make wheatpaste!
There's no reason why our ideas and art shouldn't cover the city. Wheatpaste is a good place to start.
In a large pot mix two parts flour and three parts water until smooth and consistent. Turn on the heat to medium high until it starts to get thick and hard to stir. Then turn down the heat and stir vigirously until consistency is again smooth.
When puting up posters or art, make sure not to use paper that is really thick or to less permeable. To ensure that your posters stay up you should make sure to put a layer of wheatpaste down on the surface before you put on the poster a little larger than the size of the poster and then put on another layer after the poster has been applied while making sure to cover the edges of the poster (they are more vulnerable to be taken down by people who hate it when people who can't afford to do advertizing try to make their ideas open as well). It's also important to go out at night when it's dry and not freezing because then the posters won't dry or stick to the surface. Poreous yet smooth surfaces find themselves the most agreeable with the wheatpaste and flier combination.
