coincidence?? i was on my way to 71 Clinton St for dinner and in the cab was a book full of #'s and personal photos and Huichol photos--there was a card for Chicama (see below) and it turns out he did the glass wear for them--just tracked him down through Chicama's manager at a friends house and he is on the way over to pick it up (p.s he hadnt even realized he lost this--maybe that means he didnt)
