I’m about 4 hours away from leaving for New York, trying to pack and triple-check everything. I swear to you I wasn’t trying to leave this stuff until the last minute, but the past two weeks have been a huge time-suck. The event with Mal at the library went fantastically well last night, and the freelance is humming along but I feel I completely fucked up my blog here. Shitty. But… yeah. Anyway. Enough excuses. Let’s have a great time in New York this weekend, eh? Let’s blog up a storm and go to great parties and even see a show on Broadway. Or two.
Let’s get this done and finish the things we started and come out the other side feeling happy, refreshed, and with a few more notches on our belt. Metaphorically speaking of course–I’m a married man.

Hi Christopher,
I was trading e-mail with Bryan 0’Malley this week over a possible interview and plug for ‘Scott Pilgrim’ in our magazine. Unfortunately, another interview ran overtime and I couldn’t make it up to your event.
Bryan had suggested that I talk to you, the inspiration for Wallace, and I hadn’t known that you’re also the manager of the Beguiling — very cool! I had to swear off comics when I adopted a puppy and took on my new utterly-satisfying-yet-very-low-paying job, yet I allow myself the occasional trade paperback as methadone. Is there one for ‘Casanova’ yet? ‘Cause you’re right — it looks fantastic.
Anyway, I’m babbling. I’ve missed you yet again — have fun in NYC! — but please contact me after you’re back if you want to do a brief interview. I think it’d be great to do a plug for ‘Pilgrim’ and the store in one shot!
