The Trip At Its End, I stare at the Slot Machines and Think Quietly to Myself…

This marks the longest time I've been away from my house in a long time. I get really antsy when I'm away from my comforts, but, I'm glad I went. My folks are leaving Pittsburgh for greener pastures in Iowa (greener and filled with more corn, I'd presume), and this was sort of my 'last chance' at spending time in my childhood home. It's... well... it's nice. I spent most of college dreading the trips home because I just have so few friends in town, and lots of bad memories, and this was one of the first times the trip wasn't filled with dread. Seeing my folks is usually the only real positive of these trips, but, I actually had a good time, between SPX (which was an absolute ball knocker of a good time), and discovering old 'treasures' in my parents attic, I had a pretty great time.

Of course, I'm now more than a week behind on all of my writing. Oh well, that's what layovers in Las Vegas are for.

Chris Burnham - Artist Extraordinaire

Chris Burnham has put up his website. It's got one of the coolest designs I've seen in a LONG time.

It also has three pages of "The 8th" which, as of today, is temporarily on hold. Chris killed himself on the project, and we were literally on the verge of announcing it as good to go, when, the tragedy in New Orleans put the kibosh on it.

You see, "The 8th" was a supernatural police procedural set in New Orleans. The entire second arc of the series was about what would happen if this supernatural entity caused New Orleans to flood.

Well, you know how that goes.

So, aside from the awesomeness of Burnham's page, I'll let you guys take a look at the pages from the project that will never be (at least in this version.)
