Thank you, DC Punk Archive for hosting a graphic novel author talk and book signing of “Take It Back: Life, Anxiety, and Gray Matter.”

It was great to hear stories from the band, see the continued friendship, learn how the book took shape, and then hear about a possible new album coming. Can’t wait to read this (and find the easter eggs).
