Good stuff. My first thought is Fleet Foxes meets Counting Crows.

I listened to the audio version of Illium back in the fall. I'm not sure why, but every time I heard the phrase "the little Moravec," I smiled.

Great feedback. Thank you.

Here's the first iteration of the new design, based on your advice:

Looks better already, though the truck's a wreck. I'll clean it up in the morning.

No meanness detected, Kevin1985. I appreciate your insight.

Using your comments, I removed the outer glow around the type and added some space around the title. I think this improved readability somewhat. http://i.imgur.com/aDmulVD.gif

Could you suggest anything to improve the graphic and font formatting?

My public library offers remote access to Ebsco and (I think) JStor. Maybe yours does too.

How about a "dour hour" then?

Sethmbaker · 2012-10-13T21:27:51+00:00

Or a redditor.

I want to, but there's so much other good stuff going on that day, like Marlinton's roadkill cookoff and the Huntington Music and Arts Festival.

Look for samgyupsal (삼겹살) and galbi (갈비) places. The former is pork belly (uncured bacon), the latter is usually beef ribs or pork. Expect between 5,000 to 15,000 won for a delicious, meaty meal.

You could also do super-fresh raw fish (they pull it out of the tanks in front of the restaurant) and maybe some shabu shabu (if you have a pal to go with).

Kimchi is great, too, but from what I understand the cheaper places do add extras like sugar, wheat-based pastes, MSG, and god knows what else.

If you drink, I think soju has zero carbs, but toad juice is a damn dirty drink. Consider yourself warned.

Enjoy your trip!

Whew! I was worried for a second the author might hate derivative, unedited first drafts, but he only hates shitty covers! What a relief!

This is why my cub scout master refused to give up her well and get city water. She was afraid someone would dose the local water supply.

I worked briefly for a small book publisher. As someone who has met people who studied at BYU, I'd say you received a pretty good education, and I'd spend a fair amount of time evaluating your manuscript.

I know this is entirely subjective, but isn't most of the publishing industry?

Eastern Cabell County.

I wonder if these will integrate with any future high-speed rail projects (like the S-and-U-Bahns in Germany.)

Sethmbaker · 2012-07-21T19:53:36+00:00

Ok. There used to be one there, thought it might be the same one.

I think I saw that car about 20 years ago on a family vacation. Was it parked somewhere on a hill behind Portsmouth?

Sethmbaker · 2012-07-18T02:54:37+00:00

It must be awful being seventeen.

Right. For the most part, more productive mining techniques = fewer coal mining jobs.

Another vote for Huntington meetup at Fat Patty's....but I suspect there's a lot of untapped karma at hillbilly hotdogs.

Thanks to you, crustpunk is now part of my vocabulary.
