Hey Campers,
We have planted our first cold frame. Built out of a patio door, rigid insulation and cinder blocks, the first crop will include Spinach, Baby Bok Choy, Purple Carrots, Purple Cauliflower and Red Onions.
Update 4/7 it’s alive!:
Tomorrow I will pick up a book at the library all about building cold frames, so then I can find out everything I did wrong!
Update 4/7: Jeff Ashton says don’t use glass for your cold frame because it’s dangerous, I say too late! Today’s outside temperature at A.S.C. 48 degrees inside the cold frame = 95 degrees!
Once again we have been a bit out of touch, but there is lots of good news to share, so stop back soon.
Peace 4 real,
REC

Dear Campers,
Glad to be here with you in 2010. While we have started to dream of spring and gardening, there are still a few useful months left of winter. This may just be the perfect time of year for remixing and mastering the old while planning for the new. A.S.C. has quite the stock pile of live recordings from the days of 309 Broadway, the Fargo Winter Carnival & the Erie Dam Music Festival. You will find some of this music right here in the coming days, weeks and months. Stay tuned.
Find your own Peace!
R.E.C.
***Miss Amber Fletschock will be showing her work TONIGHT at this SHOW!***
Hello from the Staples Motley Area Arts Council.
The Shadows, including original members bassist Dick Dunkirk and drummer Bob Korum, with Lewy Ronken will present a Buddy Holly tribute at Centennial Auditorium in Staples, on Saturday, October 17, at 7:30 PM. The performance is underwritten by Unity Bank.
It’s been fifty years since Buddy Holly’s tragic death in a plane crash near Clear Lake , Iowa , but his name still stirs passion and musical memories. He and his band, the Crickets, along with the Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson) and Ritchie Valens were on their way to play a concert at the Moorhead Armory in 1959. Buddy Holly’s demise opened the door for Fargo native Bobby Vee and his band, The Shadows, when they were asked to take their place.
The musical time warp will include tunes like Peggy Sue, That‘l Be The Day, It Doesn’t Matter Any More, Rubber Ball, and many more.
The authentic sounds of those hits will also include the original string arrangements of the million seller hits of Buddy Holly and Bobby Vee with a lead violinist from the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony and members of the Staples Motley High School Orchestra.
For more information on this concert, and the rest of the season, check out the Arts Council’s website at www.staplesmotleyarts.org
Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students in advance, $15 and $7 at the door, and are available from the Centennial Auditorium Box Office at 218.894.5416 or 800.213.6877. In addition season tickets are still available to anyone purchasing six or more Advance sale tickets to any event, or series of events, for only $10 per ticket. Also any student with proper ID can purchase a Student Rush Ticket one hour before the show for only $1.
We hope to see you there.
(You have like 6 hours to get you shit together and be there!)
Mark your calenders for September 18th, 2010. Located in front of the Abandoned Scout Camp, all are welcome. Hope to see you there!
Hey Campers,

Peace,

Dear Campers,
Even though it may seem like we have fallen off the edge of the world, don’t worry we’re still hangin’ here on the edge!
Today, the blonde Bigfoot hunted for the garden gopher.
Bigfoot's weapon of choice
A long time has passed since our last letter from camp. Life is good. Gardening is great. Peace is possible. Let’s try it!
As you can see the food has started to arrive. This could be the best time to visit if your planning a trip? We haven’t forgotten about you and we hope that you haven’t lost HOPE.
All our best,
A. S. C.
Dearest Campers,
Miss Amber will be having a solo exhibit; “Small Works with Paper & Metal”, June 11-July 8th at the Isle Market and Deli located at 2115 W 21st St in Minneapolis. Their phone # is 612.377.6876. So, please get out and check it out!
News from Camp,
Nothing but a flood of love here after Mr Derek, Miss. Sandra and Senior Voodoo’s holiday at the Abandoned Scout Camp. Much was shared, discussed, learned, taught, barked, tossed and enjoyed during their visit. Here Miss Sandra teaches us about prairie drop seeds while Jimmie teaches about down spouting:
It was sad to see our good friends head down the road. We look forward to our next time together.
In other news: work continues on Nic Garcia/Dorthy Fix 7″ collaboration. Watch for track updates soon. The song “Let That Bridge Burn” by Nic Garcia is being recorded and mixed for our friend Caity’s new film: “Hidden Hearts”. Also, Miss Amber is scheduled to have her very own show at the Isle Market & Deli in Minneapolis in June. I think that she should have an opening for this show, but she needs convincing, so please help convince!
Hearts & Thoughts 2 U!
R.E.C.
Dear Campers,
Hope you have been soaking up the vitamin D rays on this fine day. Yesterday and today, A.S.C. had their first visitors in quite awhile. Mr. Nic Garcia & Adrianne along with miss LuLu & Stella came up from the big city to do some recording. Sadly, this is the first recording that has happened in “the hall”, but we promise that it won’t be the last. Check out this track by Nic Garcia:
Garcia in the hall
Nic layed down basic guitar and vocal tracks. The plan is for DF to add some parts, so the project can be released on a 7″. We can’t wait! It was sad to see their van head back to city. Both the cats Carmel & Gilbert are still shedding tears. Tears of sadness or tears of joy it’s hard to tell? Spring is in the air campers! The question is: What project to do first? Work on and work it out is what I say.
Love to you,
R. E. Cook
Dear Campers,
Hope this finds you well. Today is turning out to be one snowy, cold day here at camp. (The “White Hell” our friend Tato likes to say.)It looks like the kids have all broke out of school. I’m hoping that one of them will shovel us out and/or bring us some candy. The big news at A.S.C. is that Adrianne and Nic will be coming to town next month. The plan is to record some new Garcia songs, so Dorthy Fix can add parts. I guess you could call this a super group or even a super duper group if you like! We are all very excited for them to visit. If you haven’t done so yet, check out some of Amber’s new work on the Art page. Also, she will have these two pieces of work in a recycled art show at The Isle Market & Deli @ 2115 W 21st St in Minneapolis.
So, if you can, go check it out and if you have the $flow$ take them home with you.
All our best,
Ralph E. Cook
