One of my fish postcards has a new home… on the refrigerator of Ms. Linzi Corbett of Anchorage, Alaska.
A few days before the show I took out a stopwatch and timed myself to see how long my set was (I needed to fill 15 minutes)…well I was horrified to discover that it was a mere 2 minutes and 24 seconds long. I had a mild panic attack but then realized that I know the words to most of Doug Skinner’s songs. His lyrics are so lovely they don’t need music so I figured I could improvise something and fake my way through the show.
Doug will be coming out with an album so you’ll be able to hear this song played properly…and oh so beautifully soon.
Until then, click here for my cover of Flake Food…. by my dear friend…the talented, wonderful Doug Skinner.
This is Doug Skinner. You can see some clips of him playing here.

I picked this “It’s Em” up a few months ago at a comic convention in Brooklyn.
If you don’t know who Mark Newgarden is, do yourself a favor and check out his site. and here is a fantastic interview with some great pics of his work and crazy shit he has in his ex-funeral parlor home in Brooklyn.
I can’t mention Mark Newgarden and not include a Garbage Pail Kid pic. Seriously, check this guy out.

I picked up this two volume set of Colette at Strand Books in NYC. I haven’t attempted to read it yet. Someday. The illustrations are gorgeous.
