What a trifecta of birthdays we have going on. Scott, Damian and now Tom? Damn. Here are some throwbacks and also newer photos of my time with these three. Luckily for Damian, I cannot find super old photos of us from back in the day.

Happiest of birthdays to these three goons who have contributed to the scene and jersey in so many ways. Some better than others...

Come hang with us tonight as we celebrate Tom and his sexy mustache. God, I just wanna stroke it 🫠

The lit world I entered in my 20s doesn’t exist anymore. People left. Publications disappeared. The internet changed. But we’re still finding each other.

I wrote about Printers Row, the scenes we lose, and what it means to build another one on Zona Motel...🐐

Whoa Printer's Row was like double the size this year and I have to thank @malsmart, @bulentm and @maudlin_house SOO much for bringing me back to Chicago for another killer weekend in my other favorite city. They've become really good friends of mine and I think we're all moving to Bulgaria. When Mallory heard I had a new book coming out she immediately put me on her podcast to promote it, that's gang s*it.
The reading w/Maudlin, @longdaypress and @alwayscrashingmag at @elasticarts was totally tubular and @augxstone and @neonpajamas killed so hard.
Then hanging with @smashedears ears all day was an absolute highlight. I think we're future tag team champions of the world. Hell of a guy.
Mad love, that was aweosme, yt ep about the weekend dropping soon!
