Art things are always happening. They usually don’t settle long enough to be organized. Not like a book, a book is thing that can sit on a table or stand on a shelf. Still, I hear-tell of an ART page on this very website.

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported Adam and me at Bold Coffee and Books on the evening of 1/31. What a great crowd of our friends, both shared and not. Even Ray Gun showed up, same hat as ever. When a man gets a hat that fits his face, that’s the hat forever man. Anyway, thanks for coming.
Doing a thing you think would be improved with our presence? That qualifies as good news, and you can email me at scottcannonpdx@gmail.com
