Dear friends

We’ve past the ides, the valentines, and the presidents. February remains, and I am in New York, with the snow. I am here to organize a coming-out-of-retirement party (for myself), which may or may not happen. But the stars above the clouds and swirling flakes indicate I’ll be on the east coast for a while, a few months, between New York, Connecticut, and Boston.

As always, open for business. 361 . 265 . 8710

beauty is devotion

my own mobile phone

any letters should now be sent to:

Maharastra, 444907
India

I will be there in early June to pick them up. I will last get mail in A-bad (previous address) on May 6th, and will be back there in June as well. Nothing is lost.

Leaving Ahmedabad April 15th

Leaving Jaipur April 20th

Leaving Haridwar April 22nd

on foot for Gangotri

For the month of May I will likely not be in material contact. The heart is right to love.

Ankur is en route to Mangoland and around those parts (south asia) until august 7th.

Email works well.

He can receive textos and calls on his indian cell phone. The number last year (2008) was

+91 99241 17549

It could be the same.

Vastly superior to all other options besides visiting is the postal service, to

But, really, if you really care, come visit. I am practicing music meditation farming chaplaincy painting and, most importantly, relinquishing control.

Update: Dorky pager will be phased out of service in the next few hours, and will not survive Jan 15th, 2009 in my presence.

I am also flying far away from Sequim, Seattle, Harborview Medical Center, and Nash’s amazing carrots this evening, to the wild salsa-d skyscrapers of New York City.

I’ll be square, there, until Monday January 19th, at which I commence a 3-day business trip to Brazil, which includes an extended planning meeting while floating from Manaus to Belem over 3-days. The world social forum awaits us.

After Brazil I’ll be in Mexico for 3 weeks, and will return to NYC on March 2nd. At that point I should be headed to India.

Telephone-wise, there isn’t much to offer. My Mexican simulation card may still function, but that’s unclear. I had a portable radiation box mailed to me (the same one from last year) but apparently it is powerless in America. We can work on that. The Indian number will be remembered and dredged when I get there.

Post inquires can be sent to:

Ankur Shah

c/o Christopher MacKinnon Holmes

411 St. Johns Place #5

Brooklyn, NY 11238

I will be there to pick up mail on January 19th, February 8th, and March 2nd. At least.

Orders regarding either of the books (Cooking Com Bigode or Sometimes We Walk Alone) can be called in to the int’l distribution center at Lost Mountain, +1 360 683 5398.
