FS27, seattle: klausen, ryan, yow, et al.

[jayryan]

akashic books is re-relasing my first book, 100 posters / 134 squirrels this fall, as well as a new book by someone named brad klausen. bumbershoot asked both of us to participate in a panel discussion, which unfortunately is happening at about the worst time possible for flatstock vendors, but might work out for flatstock guests: during the last hour before doors close on monday night.

we've each been asked to bring a guest who we've worked with. david yow from the jesus lizard is coming to harass me, and i don't know who brad is bringing yet.

get some rotten tomatoes and come on out to ask probing questions. we will have insightful, well-considered answers.

as for my next two weeks, i'm starting my trip to the northwest tomorrow, departing tuesday night directly from the "engine" show at lula cafe. i'm heading out to trade cars with a friend at his barn in the northwest of illinois. i'll stay overnight, then wed morning drive to mpls to pick up dan "landland" black. we're heading for portland. i drop dan off there, then drive to eugene to pick up a cargo bike frame i've had made, as we're going down to one car this fall. from eugene, it's back up to portland to pick up sudyka from the airport friday night for a wedding on saturday. sunday, we drive up through seattle and to the san juan islands, where we'll celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary, before swooping down into seattle to pick up bird machine assistant mr. will from sea-tac on friday. saturday through monday at FS, and then hanging out with some seattle friends on tuesday before shoving off to drive back to minneapolis and chicago on wednesday. return home friday, just in time to set up at the renegade craft fair here on saturday the 11th.
