[...] coolest kids in the hall, the bang gang (see happy shiny people below). you’ve all heard me wax poetic on what a nostalgic thing APE is for me. it’s nice seeing the same passionate, geeky folks [...]

Yes, yes, put out your work. There may only be a couple handfuls of people you’re addressing here, but it will make waves.

I haven’t biked for a long while (not at all since I moved from the Bay two years ago). I remember reading something a few years ago about a phenomenon called “cyclist’s vulva”. That was unforgettable.

I think I’m going to sign up for gym membership. It has been difficult to make exercise a routine on my own – and in this vast stretch of land area known as L.A. I hate the thought of driving somewhere to exercise, and/or of cycling polluted air in my lungs, and/or of getting robbed/raped (or both!) while I’m out by myself, and/or of spending money for membership in a gym. But I guess I’ll spring for the latter and try to take the Metro to the gym. Getting your heart rate up and exercising your heart muscle and lungs – such feelings of pure “RAGGGHHRR I’M MOVING MY BODY” should be the long-term antidote for anything that gets you down.

So with all the encouragement, what’s the word on doing a book for APE this year? (Yes, I’m going to be bugging you about this.)

Ouch…I just found your great website!

And yes, get a table at APE. I should commit so I can force myself to finish my shit – it will be a zine of poety with prose like this comment. LOL.

I love that expression “camel toe.” Who came up with that?

make something by november. like derek said, there are plenty of people DYING to see more of your drawings! i think it is more difficult to get a bike and start riding.

and are there fanny packs big enough to cover camel toes?

We invented a similar comeback, when I was in grad school.

meanie: “You suck”
response: “No… YOU suck” (poking meanie in the chest with index finger)

Pretty good, no?

I like yours and Peg’s.

Derek is right.

And so is Annie.

i’d like to suggest getting some biking butt pads from REI. i’ve been doing 30 mile rides and seriously after the first round, my crotch ached the bad ache. i decided to invest and get some $40 shorts – it also comes with major cameltoe – but well worth it.

Well, the next APE is still quite a few months away, and your friends all agree that you’re talented and would love to see you make something for it…

I think the reality is that nothing is stopping you from being on the other side of the table this year!
