	general questions... What used to happen to these b&w flyers/posters? I imagine the artist would make the artwork, run over to kinko's and run a stack of copies and then they made their way out into the streets, lampposts, stores, windows etcetera. Would people collect these like crazy in those days? Would people pick some up and run a bunch more copies to keep spreading them? How many copies would a Hardy, a Kozik or Jason usually run at Kinko's for these 'early' flyers? In those days, would the whole town of Austin be plastered with these flyers? Did Austin in the late 80's and very early 90's get the same BS that happened in Seattle where the city would try to clean up the city and prohibit postering?

	no, not because YOU did it but because IT is already there... I mean I dont know much about publishing books and stuff nor do I pretend to do so but I would think that : 1) the book is already 'finished'... one would only pay for the reprinting 2) there might be a 'surge' in interest for the gig posters caused by a variety of reason such as Swag, AOMR, etcetera. I dunno... timing just seemed right and perhaps it can be done cheaply

	that darn eyeball keeps popping up by the way... saw a philip guston exhibition he other day and he did eyeballs as well. art - how come they are not reissuing your book? one would think that the economics are there with the upcoming hooplah that no doubt will be associated with the aomr book.. you have any say in that or is that completely out of your hands?

	awesome colors and art offset? how was the original art done?

	I was just amazed when I saw Hardy, Kozik and Jason Austin's posters from the mid-late 80's together... obviously some sort same 'vibe' or 'language' going on... I think art mentioned somewhere that some of these early flyers made it over to Seattle in bookform (?) and immediately impacted the then current Seattle scene (Chantry/Kleinsmith)... To think that some of the catalysts to all this stuff are underground comic stores and little band/music/venue promotors is sweet.

	art - point taken we should try to get lyman hardy out to austin fs4 and have him bring a stack of his stuff anyone still talking to this dude?

	in the history of post 60's rock poster art, the flaming lips must have been one of the most postered/influential bands....
