Line tamer.
A long overdue post (something I started to write and meant to share back in September when The Erotic Postulate was released!) is up on jdbrecords. Much like this post from 2012 where I took my dear readers on a storyboard tour of Skin Shift (also on jdbrecords), this post walks you through four of the paintings behind Read More …
I had a lovely time visiting both my alma maters this past month. In an odd alignment of the stars, they both contacted me within a 24 hour window back in February to return to their campuses as a “distinguished alum” – aw. My first visit was to Muhlenberg where their new/reinstated chapter of Sigma Read More …
This is a bit delayed considering it’s been a week since AWP Chicago 2012 (a necessary designation since this is like the third AWP I’ve been to in Chicago now). I started with odd chest congestion a few days before the conference which, once in the Windy City, came on with a vengeance after dry Read More …
I think I’m in AWP-withdrawal, which I wasn’t expecting. Let’s hammer out the last day in Denver. Well, it started slow for just about everyone I know thanks to the drinking and altitude and lack of sleep. I think the altitude was blamed for a lot of behavior beyond the altitude sickness some people experienced…what Read More …
It’s Saturday morning as I type this and I have a pounding headache, so bear with me as I try to narrate the rest of Friday. I met Joe and Chenelle Milford at the Starbucks at their hotel (after visiting two other Starbucks in the same block vicinity–all these hotels seem to have Starbucks attached Read More …
So far at the conference I’ve overhead lots of talk about online vs. print, which seems to be a hot topic this year. The conversation has many parts: on the shuttle ride over it was about the fight at some journals just to get an online submission manager (fear being that it would increase submissions Read More …
Okay, I took some pics! This is the Denver Convention Center where the book fair, registration, and panels take place: And the entrance to Exhibit Hall A or whatever it’s called; the main hall. What’s nice is the entire book fair is in one hall this year, with carpeted aisles! Still a bit overwhelming, but Read More …
I wasn’t sure I was going to blog AWP this year, but hell, I have free wireless in my room, so why not make use of it. Alice Quinn was on my flight this morning in the row in front of me. I noticed her when we were queuing up to board; she was chatting Read More …
And here we are, at the end of my trip already. Five days was too short. I must really take longer vacations. That Monday was Canadian Thanksgiving and American Columbus Day and my last day in Montreal. The city felt empty, especially when Michael took me up to the roof of his building so I Read More …
After that very romantic evening on Mount Royal, we spent Sunday morning lazing around and enjoying the view from Michael’s apartment and balcony, eventually going out for some Indian brunch at Le Taj and then hitting up the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. There was this huge John William Waterhouse exhibit going on with that Read More …
