Update #11: KRULOS WINS RLSH AWARD!
I am quite honored to report that I was awarded the CIVIC HERO AWARD FOR LITERARY AND JOURNALISTIC EXCELLENCE IN SUPPORT OF THE RLSH CULTURE at the Superheroes Anonymous 4 conference in late September in Portland, Oregon. I wasn't able to attend, but the certificate was mailed to me. Pictures and a video tour of my office are below.
You can read my acceptance speech on my blog:

Update #10: Heroes in the Night in Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ran a story mainly focusing on The Watchman (Heroes in the Night and this blog specifically were also mentioned) in today's edition on page 1 of the Local section.
The online version also includes a three minute video shot on the street during patrol and features footage of The Watchman, Blackbird, and a cameo appearance from myself. I think the video is extremely well produced and portrays the local RLSH in a very positive light.
Both the article and the video were by Mike De Sisti.
