a drawing of a snail with a moustache on an envelope
a flier for a rave x2
the plastic wrap off of a swisher sweets cigarello
a drawing of a fish with a tattoo of jordan castro on it by mallory whitten
a copy of think tank for human beings in general by jordan castro
a copy of cute by jordan castro & mallory whitten
a picture of a whale walking on the street next to a hipster
a crudely drawn pane-by-pane example of a shot of a man isolated in a large room on a laptop (probably vaguely sad)
a copy of without bug spray, bugs stay by super bobby
an admission ticket for the national aquarium expiring 5/18/11
13x vegan cupcake stickers
a pair of mystery photos taken somewhere
a flier for bebe zeva by megan boyle & tao lin
a painting of a gelatinous blue blob smiling dumbly
a piece of scrap paper with rough outlines of essays about various subjects
a picture of a gnome like child in a pink onesie crying over a hamburger
a packet of star shaped gold confetti
a copy of thoughts re muumuu house covered with blue pen edits, most likely done with a uni-ball
a hand drawn cover of supercomputer by jordan castro
a copy of richard yates by tao lin, on computer paper, covered with red pen edits
a typed up journal of some specific dates between august 11th and january 2nd, ending with “the internet is being an unreliable piece of shit, i feel like screaming”

I think the last two were sent to jordan by tao lin and i feel kind of bad like maybe they were personal or something but now i have them
