Eight things we do in San Diego in December and not in July!
Last week, we made a "workation" out of our Spring 2009 sales conference for Farrar, Straus & Giroux, which was held in sunny San Diego. We jumped at the chance to go to San Diego in December to see just how eerily empty it is, to us anyway. And we were also able to celebrate Thanksgiving American-style. Trust me, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving...
Hey! It's Keith Jonessssssss
Keith Jones recently did an interview with Vice Magazine. The whole thing is very bizarre and mostly centers around Jones' hobo days.

Everyone loved him when he was a kid because he'd been a champion...

Tatsumi's sexually grimy, emotionally barren tales of salarymen trying...
Expozine 2008
Expozine is always an event best attended after a heavy brunch, as the sheer amount of people, books, zines, art tidbits and doohickeys are voluminous enough to guarantee you will never find Waldo amidst the calamity.That said, it is also an uproariously good time, and this year was no exception, with perhaps the most solid line-up of vendors and artists...
