what the Helen of Troy was that about?

letter to New Orleans musician Trombone Shorty
aka Troy Andrews.

hello Troy,

I read about you in some of my recent research for coming to New Orleans.

I am coming to make some new walking works as part of an art residency with Tulane University. I read your walking piece/article in a newspaper -- would you be interested in taking a walk and showing me some of your neighborhoods?

Sorry I will miss your upcoming SF performance dates but I hope to see you in New Orleans. I am a San Francisco artist & I work with many musicians on the project Rock & Roar.

Well I cannot seem to get your email address from your band website (was up the other week but not tonight).

If you want to talk or take a walk as part of my new art project with Tulane Univ, please give me a call or email.

Happy New Year!
Anne Devine

Happy New Year Mom

I wheeled my suitcase full of art goodies out the door at 11:59 PM so we were walking with suitcase from 2008-into-2009 this year; emphasis on art + communication, with walking as a given now.

See you in New Orleans!!
Happy New Year to US

Love
Anne
