A quick shout-out to my friend Kevin Smokler, whose new book Bookmark Now!: Writing in Unreaderly Times hits the shelves this week. Kevin founded the sadly-missed Central Booking, is a regular speaker at SXSW, maintains a weblog at Where There's Smoke and is an Inkblots alum to boot. Attaboy Kevin!

Kevin kicks off the party this week with a Virtual Book Tour of his very own (another thing which he created). Inkblots will tie into the festivities in our next issue (!) which should show up here in the next week or so.

Right now I'm getting ready to head back to Ohio for my five-year college reunion (!!!). I'd promised a couple of sketches for some old friends of mine, so I had to dive back into my sketchbooks and dig them up. That was sort of a harrowing experience – I'll post more about that when I get back, I'm sure. For now, be good, have a great weekend, and go pick up a copy of Bookmark Now! Try it, you'll like it. :)
