Misdirected Fan Mail by Alek van Arki

August 23rd, 2008 1:25 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Scan the phonebook until you find someone with the same name as a famous celebrity. Send them fan mail.

I saw this task and started looking through the phonebook. I pick a few names of celebrities that I thought would be pretty common. Most of them were pretty common and I found them with little difficulty. However, none of them had addresses. I was about to put the phonebook away when Steve Martin popped into my head. That's a pretty common combination I thought. So I looked up his name and sure enough, he was there. With an address. So I decided he would be my intended recipient.

I wrote it with a green colored pencil on a piece of my sister's notebook paper. I figured it would be more believable if it looked like a young kid wrote it so i tried to actually use lower-case letters like we were taught in school (I write in all-caps just with the letters that are supposed to be capital bigger than the rest). It was hard. I don't like lower-case letters. Anyway, it's done and now I need to find an envelope and stamp and it'll be on its way to Steve Martin.

It took about a half an hour to write it. Partly because I was doing other stuff on sf0, but mostly because I have to really think about writing real lower-case letters


Damn!

Damn!

After all that work, I wrote a capital "E." !@#$%
