As Astria Suparak recalls: “It was the first time I had toured with other people and my first time visiting many of those places. I remember having stage fright when I got on stage and saw hundreds of people looking back at me, waiting for me to speak, at the grand, balconied Capitol Theater in Olympia”
Tour communications:
-
- Letter from Steve Polta, Office Manager at the San Francisco Cinematheque, to Astria Suparak, confirming Suparak and Miranda July’s Some Kind of Loving Tour event. October 2, 2000. From the collection of Astria Suparak. Suparak’s handwritten notes on top confirm a phone interview with a Santa Cruz newspaper while both Suparak and July were in Houston, Texas presenting other events prior to the start of the Some Kind of Loving tour.
-
- Email with technical requirements and press materials, written by Astria Suparak to venues on the Some Kind of Loving tour, 2000. Page 1. Collection of Astria Suparak.
-
- Draft letter from Some Kind of Loving curator Astria Suparak to the artists on the compilation, sent after the SKL tour. January 2001. From the collection of Astria Suparak. After touring with Some Kind of Loving, Suparak sent packages to all the artists with the items listed in the hand-written section at the bottom (press materials, list of tour venues, and copies of press reviews [http://joanie4jackie.com/archive/press/#jp-carousel-8117]). In the letter Suparak points out that the underlined words on the new Joanie 4 Jackie website are links, because websites were still new to many people at the time.
-
- List of Some Kind of Loving and Swan Tool tour dates. January 2001. From the collection of Astria Suparak. Suparak was interning at the Museum of Modern Art at this time, and “borrowed” some letterhead to draft a post-tour report to the Some Kind of Loving artists.
