Baron Geraldo & Associates
[The Associates: Texas Fontanella, John M. Bennett, & Jim Leftwich]
"No doubt there's a James Bond movie title we can appropriate"
Guys, Texas has reminded me that I said I would use these pieces in the next issue when he's sent them to me three years + ago. So, if you're all okay with it, I've decided that next issue will be #59. I'm attaching them to jog your memories.

This version was the "B" Plan. Decided I liked the first one better. Your opinion may vary. BG
nice pieces. did i contribute something to them? JL
yeah, to 'really no different', i believe, or Baron believed. TF

on a closer look, it's kinda hard to tell with some of them — which is part of their beauty. with some of them, the Leftwich presence might be ethereal, indirect, metaphysical — or something (interesting idea) i would say leave the attribution there! JMB
the piece “really no different” contains fragments from a collab with jim leftwich. this was done around the time i was using a font created with pieces from the “pansemic playhouse.” the font was an attempt to subvert a commercial tool and realize something close to asemic writing using a keyboard process.
completed after my first cup of coffee over a period of three days. thanks for your contributions and inspiration.
i always cite my sources. it also goes back to a conversation i had with ficus strangulensis which boils down to “you use my stuff and i’ll use your stuff.” BG

yes, that's the core protocol for this subculture — JMB
...ongoing coolness of this subkulture...i'm happy to be submerged in it with all of you guys. JL

Texas, if it's okay with you, I'll hold these over to the next issue.
The current one's bursting, & you've already got a few things in it.
Yeah, for sure that's fine with me. But I'll be checking in on it;
ages and ages ago there was a similar situation with another batch
with JMB, but you never put it up.
Texas, if it was the Baron, JMB, & your collabs from 3 & a half years
ago, I apologize. I'll use them in the next issue also.
