Les Gripkey has been mailing out these handy postcards for years and years now, taking over from Dan Scanlan who used to mail them in the olden days from Grass Valley, California. Les Gripkey is also the only authorized official merchandise vendor for Jonathan Richman. If you ever see a merchandise table set up at a Jonathan Richman performance, most likely you will also see Les there!
