hey everybody!
just checkin in letting you know where we are at.

So we have been in conversation with the printer, Ginny's printing, here in Austin.
The book is being cleaned up and edited in hopes to drop it off at the printers by the end of the month.

The printing and binding is going to take about a month.

We are looking at a 9 x 12 hard cover book. 100 pages. CD in the back.
it is looking awesome. i can't wait.

so shortly i will be sending out an email to individuals who i need info from.
if you ordered a shirt(s) i am going to need sizes.

If you ordered a drawing i want to send you some images.

i am planning to have a Book release party here in Austin at Monofonous mid June.
if you ordered a book or anything else you can pick it up personally at the event.
if you live far away or can't make it, i will send everything to you around this time.

so i will be in touch soon with a date and info request.
thanks again!
