Hogan recounts, "A friend of Ray Johnson's, Regina Silvestri, was preparing a wall for sheetrocking, and the prepping included scribblings by several poets on Tuesday night. Then I was asked to rubberstamp a section. A space marked 'reserved for Ray Jonson' featured his character 'the bunny' drawn on the wall. I glued a photocopy of the cover from Netshaker which had the bunny and the 'lucky Strike' reference inside the drawing. Ray had been invited but decline to participate in the mini-event. After I rubberstamped some section of wall, we moved the congress to another location for drinks."

Item: Correspondence to Crackerjack Kid listing possible ways to go on-line with the Telenetlinkcongress as a way to contact artists in the telematic community; "The advantage to using the WELL is that it acts as a gateway to other systems on a global basis. I use Internet primarily to connect to BITNET in Europe. And there is the UNIX NEw service, USENET. Art Com has an alternative newsgroup on USENET called alt. artcom. That is a great way to connect with artists and those interested in electronic art, because it has a potential of reaching 29,000 USENET sites globally." Crackerjack Kid used all of these strategies listed throughout the 1992 networker year.
