East Los Angeles Dirigible Air Transport Lines proudly announces its new El Sereno Station conveniently adjacent to the Red Car trolley line in the median of Huntington Drive abandoned September 30, 1951. Across the street from Lucy’s Market!
APPROVED MESSAGE FROM MOSAIC ROSKALNIKOV, FROM HUMBOLDT COUNTY TO LONG BEACH HE SENDS HIS LOVE
Swiftest flight freer than the sober whiskey of Love faster than a neuron in fact a neuron of a new body itself a lift on East Los Angeles Dirigible Transport Lines! Imagine the clean air, wildhaired rain, sunny radiowaves and spatial networks of Shit That Makes The Engine Run And Exhaust below with pretty lights, parties & the reading of fun fun poems & different states of Being where the flapping wings of birds touch, Long Beach to Huntington Park 20 minutes of the day or 20 days of the minute, they lemme sing up there Chavela Vargas songs like a gun of birth with my eyes of a mushroomcloud and nobody even flinched! & the wind howled throo my pockets & I lost my contents & stepped off that ladder like head first into the day & the sky still on my face & I was ready then to circumnavigate the big walls of empire and day-to-day drabness and my zero credit,
My name is Mosaic Roskalnikov and I approve this message with the taste of posole still on my breath.

Mail Bag: Letters from Our Many Satisfied Customers
Mr. Wheelnuts:
Sir. For this reason and others I commend you. As a regular and multisatisfied user of your cereal products I find my health measurably improved. By 16 at last measure. Such results! For too many years I was reduced to digging holes, hoping to discover therein the solution to your problems. O how the neighbors did object! After much practice and travail it became evident to me and all those dear to me that it is in the nature of holes that they do not contain solutions, or any other things. This is why our elders in their wisdom decided to call them “holes” rather than: “things.” Your groundskeeper tells me that this principle has been the great key to your success. Kudos, sir! From this day on, I expectorate with pride, and thank you for it.
Yours without restraint,
Fulgencio Tree

Dear Sir or Madam:
I have lost something important. While traveling in your inflated vehicle, I became confused. It was a pleasant feeling while it lasted, but having since recovered, I find myself dismayed by the price of your tickets, and by the uniforms of your employees, which are repugnant. So much velour! I am told the meals were excellent, but as for me, I did not care for the sensation of landing. Also the aerilons were overstated. I liken you to a bird lacking in feathers, beak, talons, and wings. In some essential birdness. In this and other matters, you defy all expectations. I therefore ask your immediate assistance.

Dear Nuts:
It is my pleasure to inform you that your services are no longer needed. Nor were they ever. Not by me or any of mine. Your organization is a boil on the gallbladder of this nation. Every time I shake out my shoes, there you are.
Most sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern,
I have often imagined floating above the Cinco Puntos carnitas and masa emporium on Brooklyn Avenue. Sixty feet above it more or less, and on a cloudy, breezeless day. This for reasons of my own. The flight path of your zeppelin transport line has robbed me of those dreams. I commend you for your hubris, but otherwise withhold all praise.
In bitter appreciation, bereft,
Mathilde Revista-Semanal, esq.

Sirs:
I have not yet had the occasion to enjoy your product, but I hear it is “pretty good.” I write to inform you of an investment opportunity that you will not wish to pass up. I am myself an inventor of a patented meteorological gust-creation mechanism that produces the finest and densest gusts of any machine now on the market. My competitors’ gusts do not stand comparison. Mine are speculative, feather-guided and potentially localizable. Being intelligent gentlemen, I am sure you are already fervently engaged in imagining the advantages the possession of my latest model (the PassingWind X-2000®) would confer upon your enterprise. Particularly when your inflatable dirigible vehicles hover, in all apparent innocence, above the prancing ponies of the Santa Anita hippodrome. If you wish to discuss this opportunity in greater detail, I can be found nightly in the last booth but one on the right (directly beneath the dart board) at the Solemn Sailor Basement Bar & Lounge on Eastern Avenue. I will be wearing a false mustache. Please make no mention of it.

Gentlemen,
I commend you! In all my years, your Genuine East Los Angeles Dirigibles are the most delicious fried delectables I have yet encountered. So delicate and with a perfect puff of sweetness. Will you send nutritional information chart? SASE enclosed for your convenience, minus stamp. Hence SAE.
my very best,
Amanda (from bingo night)
Dear Wheelnuts,
It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you that I cannot accept your generous campaign contribution, which exceeds the limits specified under state and federal law. Also I have no use for so much helium. What were you thinking? See official certificate of appreciation, enclosed.
yours in service,
Antonio Villaraigosa
Mayor
City of Los Angeles
Dear Swirlings:
My father, who is ill-disposed as far as fingers go, has asked me to write to you to express his appreciation. Perhaps he did not ask in so many words, not explicitly, but I am sure he would not frown on the endeavor. “Those dirigible fellows,” he likes to say. Frequently he says this. He never finishes the sentence. It’s always just, “Those dirigible fellows,” but I can assure you that his tone is one of great respect and admiration, as if the mere thought of you has elevated his existence to such heights as you daily traverse in the exercise of your labors. This tone is easily distinguishable from, for instance, the one he employs when referring to me, his only living child. “That shit-eyed son of mine,” is another of his favorites. Usually followed by a hocking sound. I imagine these two utterances as two great mountains, between which stretches a valley, a sort of dusky bog really, in which my father, fingerless, spends his days. Hocking. Up to his neck in it. The bastard. I thought you’d like to know.
I remain,
Iggy Pond

s.r.,
when you’re up there skimming the blue from the air does the city make a little more sense? is it easier on the eyes up there to hatch big plans? to sew another flag? excuse the questions, but i ated my car with my big teeth and need to find a new way to get to work, a way closer to the dawn so I never forget life is but a dream. ask my old man who’s forgetting, ask him how it is, look at his eyes like ugly marbles.
can i buy dirigible tokens where I get my money orders too? please email at laspistolasdelarisadecantinflas@hotmale.com

Dear Mosaic Roskalnikov,
Thank you for your interest in lighter than air travel, which aims to vertically expand the economy where previously there extends only particulate pollution, industrial cusswords, crushed hopes of 30 million californians ground up into tiny particles of glass so that we may all breathe this in and exhale the dust of dead dreams.
In order to fix this situation they propose tax breaks and budget cuts at all levels, especially in hospitals, schools, streets, waters, earth works. They say go sit over there while the city falls down on this side, get out of the way while the trucks of money go that way. Print extra billions for Afghanistan & Iraq, go kill.
But we say no. We say inflate the skins of your expectations & dreams 800 feet long and float your boats. We are developing organic lighter than air vegetables in our hydroponic garages which will be able to provide local transport for 20 passengers pollution free.
We need you today. Fly with us and get a real job. Be a dirigible pilot!

You noticed when you listen to Dylan’s “I Shall Be Free” you can hear an engine like a zeppelin grazing the skyfields of Weed, CA?
