The luscious new MISC print publication is progressing amazingly. (Except for ad sales–if you’ve got a small business or just something to sell, email for the pertinent particulars on the investment opportunity of a lifetime or at least of a half-life). We’re getting 11 great pieces of writing and art from some of Seattle’s wryest writers, in addition to a score of my own little pieces. Art director Sean Hurley is finishing up some smashing illos. It should all be ready on 8/1; to be followed by the second issue the third week of Oct. Subscribe now to make sure you get yours.
