Is there anyone out there? Have you given up on me? It's only been 11 months, that's not too long to go between posts is it? I could just start a new blog but what fun would that be?

I was privileged to be a contributor to the first issue of The Dirty Durty Diary. I have three stories in the first issue, an interview with Eric Foss of Lit, a group story on the artist collective Fortoul Presents, and a feature on All Saints' landing on US soil. I'll also be writing a weekly column for their Beverlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00028679645166778711noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414421912221158150.post-13356850349434834262010-08-20T17:55:00.007-04:002010-08-20T19:06:07.200-04:00Good deeds gone bad gone back good againI rescued my first animal today. I usually let strays be strays. Feral cat colonies are a fact of Brooklyn life but last night I met a little fella that made me unable to stand by and not do something. It all started when I went to visit Sean at Vacation Island where he was recording an EP with Love as Laughter.

It made me think of Barry and Levon on the state and them having a bunch of pudding in the trunk of their car. Alas, all I could find was the $240 worth of pudding sketch when I looked up "Barry and Levon state pudding" on Youtube. So I expanded my search to just "Barry and Levon" and...fuck...the greatest thing ever happened:I Beverlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00028679645166778711noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414421912221158150.post-2840296804837118762009-12-02T14:06:00.002-05:002009-12-02T14:11:36.361-05:00ESL selling points"an ingenious herd of charcoal fire"I did a reading of this menu, complete with "soute spinach" and "mashroom salad" to an amused crowd of San Franciso-based house guests.

Everything on the sales floor was designed to hide a bulging belly and a flat ass and compliment the legs and occasionally the bust.
