The Selling of CARTOONISTS AGAINST CRIME ©1991 & CARTOONISTS AGAINST TERRORISM ©2001.

ASK on DAY # 8-9-10 of THE MOVE.  When you’ve seen 1 Box you have about seen them all, but let me tell you, those Boxes that I am sorting thru NOW are filled with some of the most prolific writings and drawings  (all priceless gems) I have ever seen.  However, its’ come to my attn. now that I should probably  PART WAYS

With my Collection of International COMICS – CARTOON  ART – Writings and all subsequent Press and Social Commentary on the Humanitarian Crusade called:

CARTOONISTS AGAINST CRIME ©1991

that I began on December 23, 1991 after I was beat-up, robbed and left-for-dead in the lobby of my Apartment Bldg., the one I am moving from one.  This Drive was accomplished before email became popular – circa November 19, 1995 when I first got ONLINE and is a terrific commentary on Humanity and how a group can TOON OUT CRIME ™.

There is so much here.  Its mass totally boggles my mind. The Complete Collection really needs to be catalogued; archived; books need to be written about THE CRUSADE itself; I have to be interviewed as its Founder/Creator/Promoter.  Then, after the Towers in NYC fell on September 11, 2001, I started CARTOONISTS AGAINST TERRORISM ©2001 that also ‘drew’ – no pun really intended’ its body of artists from across the world – as well as put me into CREATION MODE again. 

If any of you have ties to the COMIC ART WORLD – known anyone at any of the Great ComiCons around the planet and can help me ‘MOVE’ this Project on, please let me know – a FB Direct Message will suffice. 

This Note will also be posted on my BLOG called:

KOOPERSMITHin at: 

For those of you still not yet on Facebook – there may be a few Folks still out there…

Due to the Nature of this Dynamic Crusade, bidding prices will begin at $250,000. 

Thank U for you anticipated help.

There's more to this Project and Crusade that meets the eye -- and by WRITE it should all be formally placed in a cartoon and comic art museum to preserve it as a part of the late 1900s - 2000s.

ASK's Wish List for the Move from Rosemont: Summer/Autumn 2012

ASK ON DAY #6 OF THE GRAND MOVE - After 21 years, I'm moving on. Have been going thru 100s of xerox boxes now of writings I did from that other century and millennium. I can't believe I wrote so much and on so many diff. topics. Eventology was one thing, but there's so many books and manuscripts, plus ART work. And then there are those TOYS- collections from over 60 years. I have no idea on how to move those, except very carefully. If they only had a sale on lucite boxes, I'd be set and bubblewrap. The Buzz Word is: Sorting. Amazingly, some stuff that truly fascinated me is stuff I have no interest in anymore; therefore, this Segment of my life is quickly becoming a great cleansing period for me...in which to kickstart my 60s! In the back of my mind, I wanted to MOVE ON when I was SIXTY anyway so I guess when you do think THOUGHTS, the Universe does provide...



More found here on my BLOG at...http://tinyurl.com/d5br9zm

  To make this Move as effortless as possible which never is the case, I will be needing:

an advance of $5000 (that will be paid back via my PR Company beginning on November 1st);

Bubble Wrap 
Xerox Boxes / Smaller Boxes &

A team with a car to move my writings into storage & my finer items/possessions into the apartment
(once it is found). 

If anyone (or group of people) can help in this matter (as moving is no picnic in the park) please contact me at:

Adrienne.Sioux.Koopersmith@gmail.com

Thank you for listening...

ASK ON: ACTION ALERT: Home In Jeopardy!

ASK ON: ACTION ALERT: My landlord is selling my building and is kicking me out. I’ve been there for 21 years and only have 11 days in which to pack up all my Writings; Works, Projects, Life, etc. Needless to say, this is not the way I figured my Monday would start out. If you would like to help me, you are now on my blog and I will discuss this problem moreso.




As you know TIME is of the Essence and the time to act is now.



WHAT I NEED: I will need $2,000-$3500 to make this move which includes a new APARTMENT and the Move itself. If you can pitch in financially, please send your check to:

Phones: 847-890-1489 (Robert’s Phone)

I need this money ASAP, as I still have to pack up the entire apartment and find a place to live (somewhere, hopefully in the neighborhood). If you are giving a large sum of money, I can sign a promissory note and hopefully repay you before the end of the year.



If you are local and have a truck that could help me haul, that would also be much appreciated.



Thank you for reading about my plea.

SEXTY @ 60® - ASK's Countdown to Sixty has arrived as of: Thurs. August 9, 2012 - 4:45 AM CST

THE COUNTDOWN TO 60 is officially over.

After waiting 60 years for it to come and go, I’m thrilled it’s over with so I can get on with the more  important Things like LIVING LIFE.  Numerically though, if I were to live to 100, that means there’s only 40 years left.  Since the first 59 flew so quickly, I’m guessing these are not likely to idle.  The saddest thing about growing old is that although we take care of our Bodies (for those of us that do), every Decade comes along with its own set  of Problems and if Disease doesn’t get U, the Aging Process will.  

I do have to share something funny though for those of us who are into Words & Writing and that is the Phrase that I invented a while back for my BF who was turning 60.  At our favorite Bakery, I ordered a cake that spelled out in cream frosting:

SEXTY @ 60®

which is one way (weigh in this case) of looking at the Aging phenomena.

However even though I may be semi-melancholy here on Thursday, August 9, 2012, some Great Friends did send Personal Messages to me today and those are posted here because they were so sweet & tender:   

RON RON OF JAPAN:    happy birthday!! ANT it great, Chicago is celebrating!!
do your best to be your best adrienne.
thank you for making my pages interesting with things you are doing and trends you are setting...
ron ron

JIM FARINA:  Happy 60th Adrienne! You've been such a great inspiration in the short time I've known you. Seems like I've known you for years! Thanks for all of your help promoting my work. My screenplay is getting some serious attention from Hollywood notables with your help and council. Cheers!!!!

ARISTOTLE SOLMERANO:   Count your life by smiles, not tears.
Count your age by friends, not years.
happy birthday Andrienne!!
- Aris

ROBIN CREATH:  Hi beautiful, Hope you rock the house down today.. Your not getting older you’re getting started.. Or better... Enjoy I wish I could be there to party with ya.. HMM next yr??? You really wear your age well. Your so physically beautiful no one would know your age. What I like is your youthful spirit and light happy heart. That's beauty to me...♥ xo

AND: IF Facebook is around on Friday, August 9, 2052 when I’m 100 and I’m looking back @  this LoM: Life of Mine, I’ll probably wish I were 60 instead of telling everyone I’m 30 + 30 and/or Sweet 16 + 44.

Got to love Birthdays!  I guess the Blessing of Time is just that…

Cheers, ASK:

ASK ON THE SADDEST DAY OF MY LIFE:  My 60TH Birthday.

Yesterday:  Thursday, August 9, 2012 - 4:45 AM: Ok, so I figured the original phrase:

SEXTY @ SIXTY ®

would work, but aging is just 1 of those daily things that we can't fight no matter how rich/poor we are!  But I am flabbergasted @ all of  U - all of my wonderful Facebook Friends that sent me a terrific birthday greeting & remembered.  But most of all, I thank the ones WHO did not remember and therefore did NOTrub it in...all the more!  Of course, I am joking with you, and that AGE is just a stage and #, but let's move on and get something done!  After all:  It is later than we think!

ASK's 30-Day PR Explosion. By September you'll be GOOD AS GOLD!

Right online at:

http://tinyurl.com/d9vc3yc

is my latest Promotional to help you out. Feel free to pass it along to others or contact me for any query or question you may have. The Deadline for this special offer is Monday, August 13.  Prep yourself for the Holiday Gift-$elling Season and your FIRST BLAST into 2013.  Having headed my own PRAM: Public Relations- Advertising – Marketing Firm since 1979, I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 ==========================================

ASK ON DAY #2 of being 60.  You know, this could really turn into a Serial.  After 3 strikes,  Items become a Collection. After 5 or 6 of these Postings, I’m sure they will become Second Nature to me, or as we say @ my STAGE & AGE of the Game of Life, the 60^TH.  I’m still so so so happy to have gotten so many well-wishes for my 60^TH Birthday and although I did kvetch the last 2 days, I’m trying (my darndest) to get over the fact that 6/10 or 3/5 of my Life may be over to date! There’s 40 more years to 100 and as you know every decade brings its own share of issues (to put it lightly and slightly).

But, Dear Friends,  Age is only a number, but there are still so many things that need to be done yet.  My High School Class of 70 is still going strong.  We were the HIP GENERATION that introduced Music – Arts and Culture to the World.  We’re all turning 60 this year and that’s really something NOT to fear.  Rhyme or no rhyme, the passing of Time just shows that:  1) Time waits for no one & 2) lots can be done if you keep your GOALS in the forefront of your days and utilize Time to its best advantage.  And since we are all ‘such a fine Community here’ talking it out is a great way of relating and elating in what each Day brings and has to offer. 

Thanks for your undivided attention!  Enjoy the Day!

ASK: Thoughts on Turning 60 Tomoro on Thursday, August 9, 2012 - 4:45 AM CST

ASK's COUNTDOWN TO 60:  Well, I didn’t really think I would live this long.  Actually, I plan on living longer, but that’s what some of my friends say and/or tell me as TODAY is the Big Day before THE BIG DAY.  Just wait till you get there.  In far less than 24 hours, I’ll be 60.  Joining all those other Baby Boomers as we enter the TWiLiGHT YEARS OF OUR LIVES.  No, actually, I don’t even consider it that ‘at all’ either.  I’m not exactly sure what you call it – you can certainly say that TIME is limited now as MAN (or WOMAN) doesn’t really live much longer than 100 years in length…so you kind of have it in the back of your Mind that IF you have 40 years left, you’re pushing the Card.  Plus, you have to figure that each Decade does take its toll on you.  However, I’m optimistic that the Projects I have started in my more Youthful Days (from Saturday, August 9, 1952 – Wednesday, August 8, 2012) will continue to flower and prosper and that great Social Networks like these will keep me in touch and informed with People (like you) that I truly enjoy communicating with.  As I continue to keep Health and Fitness in the front of my Mind, I certainly hope that the Illnesses, Crimes and Wrongs of the World become less and less and that People look and focus on the Sunny Side of Life.  After all, Life’s too short as it is – Birthdays only make us wiser in knowing what we should as opposed to should not be doing.

And on that note, let the PARTY begin!

INTRODUCING: 
ASK’s-Show-n-Tell-Time-featuring…[YOUR NAME HERE]

“Throughout Life, one Constant remains relatively consistent.  That is:   If you ‘ASK’ and you do so nicely, then you’ll obtain Answers for those Queries.  If you crank it up a Notch and ask somebody who’s interesting, educated or possesses a different Slant, you may find that an entirely new Avenue opens – one where the Knowledge gained is the Knowledge kept and if given The Opportunity, it may then be passed along for Greater Understanding.  Such is the Case with the Selection of Friends We make throughout Life. Talent and an extroverted Air or Attitude (outgoing, sophisticated and original) is the chief Reasons why I rush to turn my PC on every Day. When Questions are answered; that Answer leads to clearer Clues that can unravel the Inner Strengths that We possess.”

WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT

THE STORY   behind THE STORY .   

What brought all of this together?  This is the Reason why:

ASK’s-Show-n-Tell-Time-featuring… [YOUR  NAME HERE]

could have also been named: 

RST: Read/Show/Tell.  This Package gives us all a ReST in order to see how THE ReST of us lives and gets into the Heart & Mind of what We are all about and should be about.  

THE STORY AS AN EXAMPLE:

We all have a STORY.

But what comprises a Written STORY is a Series of Sentences.  Sometimes, these Sentences can really nab and grab a Person.  That’s good and, that’s good to know by all means.  As a Writer, a Plethora of Tools can be used to get to that STORY.  At times, it is wiser to stop and adjust our Vision by letting another’s Vision roll in, even if it’s only for a few Lines; a Sentence; a Bracket, a Phrase or a Clause. Thinking-a-Thought We may not have even realized before can refreshen any given Moment with a Result and a significant one at that. That needs to happen more often.

Therefore, for my Facebook Friends who wish to share their STORY with you, a 25 Point Questionnaire has been designed for them to take that First Step by merely filling in the Blanks. It’s good Practice. It gives and lends itself to Direction.  When the Blanks are filled in, another Mindset is laid and Themes are concreted into Place. It may be a Whole Thought – something more or less that could help you ‘spring into Action’ on a Plan of your own.  Such is the Power of what We write, say, share and do.  

AFTER ALL:  We all have a STORY that starts with a Sentence, beginning now.

THE PHILOSOPHY

BEHIND THE 30 DAY PR STRATEGY

Getting to know you.

I wanted to know more about my Facebook Friends that I was meeting and connecting with now for several Years and what’s better than giving them the Opportunity to tell their STORY  Distributing and promoting comes as Second Nature to me (as a seasoned Public Relations Professional since 1979. Writing that STORY   publicizing it to a far greater, wider and larger Audience or Community is a job that needs to be done every Day in today’s highly competitive World.  Having a Representative to do this allows the Creatif to devote more Time to their ART, Passion, Skill and/or Trade (even if it is only for an Hour every Day).

That was the Primary Reason as to why how the 30 DAY PR STRATEGY evolved.  A Friend of a Friend of a Friend is how Facebook became the Behemoth that it grew to be, One Person(ality) at a Time.  Word-of-Mouth & Word-of-Mouse (via a trustworthy Person that one can be confided in) spreads, sells and brands a Piece – many Times by only a mere Suggestion in passing.  With these various Personalities that We can contact every Day (faster than it takes to dial a Phone), this Form of Communications is now a Regular Part of our Schedules, exemplifying the ideal Way to pen-pal (as many of us did in the 1960s). The only Thing missing from this Equation is cueing up for Stamps; licking a single Envelope’s Flap and lastly, wondering if the Parcel ever arrived (at all). 

Friends benefit and inspire you with their own Achievements, a sure-fire Way to start the Day, any Time of Day, Week-in and Week-out.  The more We open up to The Possibilities, the more We score and higher We soar.  It’s just the Way of The Universe. 

THE 30 DAY STRATEGY PLAN keeps that Spirit alive.

I am actually more influenced by my Facebook Friends than TV/Radio, Co-Workers, face-to-face Associations or even the trendiest of Trends.  As I visit their Pages, I find Things I like and share; sometimes Things that I dislike and don’t share. Those are most often forgotten and forgiven.    

Writer, Sondra Dee Garrison (of Chicago) turned me on to Painter, Daniel Scharf (of Mission Viejo);

Ron Ron of Tokyo turned me on to Videos he had taken of Japan’s March 11, 2011 Tsunami, Earthquake and Nuclear Catastrophe by reporting it live and in Real Time;

Robin Creath (located in the Midwest) told me about Frank Underwood, Jr., (located ‘out West’) the talented Artist/Author whose Birthday is also on my Birth Date or vica versa;

Dan Shure (who should be the 'Mayor of The North Shore') invited me to a dynamic Business Breakfast for one of his Groups where I got the Chance to network with a roomful of others that I would never have done had it not been for his Generosity and Networking Finesse; 

Kelly Monteith (one of my favorite Performers of all Time) came to mind so I searched for him on Facebook and he appeared!  Now, I can check his Schedule to see where he’ll be performing;

Seeing Kelly’s friends ‘drove’ me to the Facebook Page of Kenny Haas, undoubtedly Chicago’s Top Marketing Creatif who was pictured with a huge TOY Fish that resembled my GORF, Star of my Screen & Book Series. TOYS?  Well, that’s my Middle Name, of course.  A Friendship was instantly formed there and GORF & I  even got to visit ‘The Mayor of Storyville’ at his Office in April of 2011;


Kc Kerchner (from my Hometown of Mendota, Illinois) put me in touch with my favorite Grade School English Teacher (circa 1964), Mr. William Hastert  (now of Arizona) here on Facebook after a lapse of 46 years;

I’m on touch with the brilliant Humanitarian and Veterinarian, Dr. Michael W. Fox, my Professor who taught Animal Behaviorism at Washington University in 1974 and went on to Universal Fame as an Icon (plain in simple). 

Worlds apart, the Wonders of Facebook puts us face-to-face with those who can influence and change the Course of our Days.  Throughout Life, the Liaisons We make never stop. 

There are specific Groups and Clubs that I am prone to visit regularly that I would have never known about had it not been for Facebook.  In an organizational vein, Electronic News keeps the Home free from Piles of Papers that I never really get around to reading, although I promise myself I will.  We all have our Favorites, of course. Facebook is a complete Network, as sweet as being in a Candy Shop.  Facebook enriches us all and hopefully by knowing more about these remarkable People, your Life will also be more enriched and charmed.  Therefore, this Project:

ASK’s-Show-n-Tell-Time featuring…[YOUR NAME HERE].

 has emerged from the Interaction and Inspiration of what Facebook has put into Motion, wrought with Emotion!”
