So, now that the millions of inauguration-maniacs have finally gone as jovially as they came, the rest of us stateless citizens of this fine city can get back to work (and finally back into Ben’s Chili Bowl which had lines out the door all week.) What I’m trying to say is that it has been a while, but issue number five should be out by March. 

I did go down and join the crazy crowds last week and it was fun, although I will say that the immediate aftermath was the closest thing I’ve ever experienced to what I imagine the apocalypse to be like. Masses of tired, hungry, frozen people trudging through mountains of shredded commemorative newspapers, used-up hand-warmers, and discarded little american flags only to be herded through a giant highway tunnel to get to the other side of the city. Under the parade. It was also a new experience to be in a huge crowd surrounded by police… without conflict.

 In other news: Issues two through four are almost sold out, so for now, unless someone around here finds a box in their van or closet, we’re going to have to hold off on sending out anymore distro boxes until issue number five comes out. So, no more DISTRO BOX orders until issue five comes out.

However: ALL FOUR ISSUES ARE STILL AVAILABLE individually for mailorder.

Unrelated: Beck and I went up to NY this weekend and saw Sam McPheeters and Daniel Higgs play back to back (figuratively) and it was great!
