New Big Thing: The Krampus

I did a quick version of the Krampus book to get it up in time for Krampus eve tonight. This is just a stopgap measure. I’ll make a better one when I can get a scan of the chapbook in high quality res (hint, hint anyone who’s got a copy and a scanner…). I had…

Happy Birthday, Joey!

If I had remembered in time, I would have sent a card 😦 Without my computer to remind me I remember nothing. Shall I just get you this? Hope your day is wonderful.

Happy St. Nick’s Day

Or did you get the Krampus instead? Well, my lovely Krampus chapbook designed by The joey Zone is out of print, but you can hear me read it as a podcast. I hope to scan it and get an electronic version available soon, but things are just so hectic (when is that not true?). I…

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween and Maith Samhain! I didn’t get cards out this year, so this will have to do. Thanks to The joey Zone for passing along this lovely Levy-Dhurmer illo.

Good Stuff

Jaws of Suspiria

I already wrote a bit about Jaws and my long connection to it, but I don’t think I’ve yet got around to the student reactions. It’s hard to keep track of things in the midst of the mad swirl of the summer intensive. I’ve made things even tighter by planning to run down to Connecticut…

Women’s Month Interviews: Cheryl

The one, the only: Cheryl!How do we know each other?If I remember correctly, George King IV introduced us many years back when you and Gene were grad students at UCONN.How would you describe yourself? Not boring! Haha! A smart, talented, and self-reliant person who knows how to take care of things…a person who is not…

No Krampus!

Well, this is phenomenally bad timing, but just in time for the holiday season I regret to announce that we have sold out of the Krampus chapbooks! I have had to refund Paypal payments. Will there be a second print run? Yes, if we can figure out a better way to do it. I want…
