Here's a copy of my new BIRTH(+)FACT(x)DEATH(-)CALENDAR, subtitled 90 KILLERS FOR THE 90's, you'll probably find some facts of interest in it.

Last summer I made this performance-type thing which was based on the MANSON saga. The project took place on an abandoned fortress-island off the coast of Amsterdam-Holland. The island is about the size of a fottball-field and is totally made out of concrete, actually the fortress IS the island and vice versa. Anyhow, there was one corridor, going kind of circular around the whole fortress, small, narrow and very dark. I built a machine, buggy-type, that could drive by itself at slow speed through the tunnel, with a light shining back. Along the corridor were some small rooms which I named after Glorious sites; Spahn Ranch, Myers & Barker Ranches, Ballarat, and finally Dvil's Hole, where a large Manson-painting and Devil's Shrine were built. The visitors had to walk in line through the corridor, stumbling in the dark after the machine, they walked passed all the sites, and then came out of the corridor to find themselves on 'Cielo Drive' where a door had 'PIG' written on it. I have some photos of it which I'll xerox and include here.

I'm now preparing another MANSON FAMILY-sculpture, which will consist of a number of machines that all hack with knives, hackblades and hatchets. I bought a number of identical electric motors, so they will all look like real relatives, and each one should have some specific details added to it, also each unit should hold a book about MANSON. So, this is where you come in, remember I wrote you before about books and you said you had plenty. Now this is what I have already, in 1 or more copies;
HELTER SKELTER, Bugliosi, Bantam Books (black & orange covers, (3)
HELTER SKELTER, Bugliosi, Penguin Books (2).
THE FAMILY, Sanders, Panther Books (2).
THE KILLING OF SHARON TATE, Schiller, Signet (1).
CHILD OF SATAN, CHILD OF GOD, Atkins (2).
BLOOD FAMILY, Zamora, Zebra (1).
WITNESS TO EVIL, Bishop, Dell Books (1).
CHARLES MANSON IN HIS OWN WORDS, Emmons, Grafton (1).
THE MANSON FILE, Schreck, Amok Press (1).
So that's about 15 books, but I want to make something like 25 to 30 machines, now I wonder if you could furnish some more paperbacks, they can be totally worn out, or pages missing or whatever, and of course I will pay you something for the books plus air-postage, as I will need them for june 15th. So let me know as soon as possible what you can do and how much you want for it all and how much air-postage would mount up to. Then again I'll send you the order and the money right away, if possible you can also call us and we can make it out on the phone. Anyway, many thanks for your time & write soon to
