Read when you're tired
Goodnight, I'm tired, too, but before I went to sleep I wanted to write this to make sure you knew I am always thinking about you. When I see a flower painted on the sidewalk with a smiley face and a waving leaf or the song you showed me pops up the mini Google Home speaker or I remember the afternoon in Soho we went to the popup marketing event for the mini Google Home speaker and ate the free donuts they gave us. Yeah, I'm thinking about it because it's been way too long that we've known each other and all the usual ways of being together are used up. Still, I need to tell you how much you matter right now before we both go to sleep.

Howdy
Jan 31, 2022 Lake City, Seattle Howdy, It’s Joe! Thank you for catching up with the 2022 OS & Liminal Lab Autonomous Mechanics Radical Field Practice Cohort, which I’m very excited to join! Writing virtual correspondence has always been an important part of my art practice, so I decided to bring the joyful attitude, levity, and attention I typically reserve for a friendly email sent from the middle of the ocean (my emails were typically long-winded, intense bursts sent from the Engine Control Room while I was on the evening 8x12 watch as 2nd Assistant Engineer on a research vessel, prefaced by my exact latitude and longitude) to my documentation here — think of these notes as little messages in a bottle that a warm, lapping surf washed up at your feet in the sand. Since this is the first of a series of Field Notes that will document my work this year, I wanted to give a bit of information about myself and what I plan to explore in my work. As a poet and multimedia artist who primarily documents artwork on Instagram (@roflcoptermcgee, @joe_notepad) and TikTok (@joenasta), I am excited to use these Notes in a way that inspires new work and shares my latest projects with clarity.

Read when you miss someone
Hello Again, I miss you, too. I know it’s been a while and both of our lives have changed. Funny, though, how many things have stayed the same. We’re in the same places and feel the same ways with different people. You know I’m always rooting for you, right? You’ve been doing some really amazing things and it makes everyone really proud of you.
