Binding Things!!!!!

Regarding reminisces of meeting Sara for the first time in the Chamber Music Library: I walked in and basically declared my love for binding things, which Sara in true librarian fashion took an immediate liking to. I immediately embarked on continuing to bind things and actually found some examples still in the chamber music library that I had cataloged and hence had my freakishly neat handwriting that we used to use a weird white pen to write with.

I even showed Sara a new way to bind smallish parts which involves some of that awesome reusable fibered tape and rolling the parts so as to slightly offset the pages enough that the tape adheres to each individual page. I learned that there actually exists a machine whereby one can bind parts in such a way as to eliminate the primitive roll and tape method. I learned this from Paul, the head librarian of the Minnesota Orchestra who I'm convinced just likes to use random machinery.

In any case, I should stop talking about binding though it seems to be a random passion of mine for no good reason. There are more important issues at hand such as talking about Salad Fingers with Sean (the non-contributing contributor) and Sara.

  1. I LOVE BINDING!!

    I also have discovered that there is such a machine. It's in the Tent. When we get more tagboard, you can sew some more, you know... :-)
