the shrewdness of apes

another marginal acquaintance is set for his publishing debut when Sean Howe's Give Our Regards to the Atomsmashers!: Writers on Comics comes out in June. i was reminded of this on Saturday when i saw him across the crowded floor at The Wrens show in Hoboken. this continues the spate of good news for people who sort of know me.

the show was fantastic by the way. even the opening bands (True Love, and The Rules) were good. stupidly, i waited until after the show to try to buy "Secaucus," the album from 1996. it was sold out by then. apparently, the only copies they did have they burned themselves since the defunct Grass Records still owns the rights. i did pick up a copy of "Silver" their first album from 1994, also burned by the band. if anyone knows where i can get a copy of "Secaucus" let me know.
