He lives!
So, I guess today is as good as any for my semi-annual update on LJ. I'm terrible about updating, as anyone reading this knows. But I've got some good things to catch up on.
We made it through con season doing a lot of shows. SPX, Richmond Zinefest, Punk Rock Flea Market, etc. We made a lot of new friends and sold a ton of books. We've got some video up that Joe has beautifully edited here:

And the most significant update I have is about a very special young lady. Her name is Zelly. We've been friends for a while and she's great. Well, a couple months back something just...clicked. And then suddenly we were chatting online more. And more. And then while I was sitting here thinking "Damn, I realllllllly like this girl" I get a text saying "...I figured I should tell you I seem to have developed a crush on you." And for a second I just stood there with a stupid grin on my face, then I replied "Well you saved me the trouble of finding the right moment to say the same thing.". She totally manned up and beat me to the punch. Then a few days later I called her and we were on the phone for like 3 hours. Then I talked to her the next night. And the next. And the next.
A month later and we haven't missed a single night. And I am totally in love with this girl. And she is likewise. And we're absolute dorks about it.
I'm currently counting down the days til New Year's when I'm going down to stay with her in South Carolina. I can't even put words to how excited I am.
