  • I was blasting Burzum when I heard the news. Maybe I should listen to something less aggressive.

  • The latest news update from the BBC says at least 80 people were killed in the Utoeya shooting alone. The suspect in custody is a thirty-two year old Norwegian man.

  • There is kind of an Anacortes residency that comes up periodically, it's called "Come live with my cat for a couple weeks while I'm on tour.".
  • I heard from Ingebling that she was heading out of town when it happened. She heard the bang but didn't know what it was until later. She is safe and out of town.

  • One of the most precious lessons I have learned from this festival is that other people are good at doing stuff. As much as my household is in charge of a pretty big chunk of the organization, I know that there is a lot going on in at least four dif…
  • I see the future of books and music albums sort of like the way I see the meaning of friendship changing. We can be friends and feel close to people we have yet to meet in the flesh, it's possible to feel close to meager online acquaintances. But th…
  • Alex: Yeah, I'm pretty sure a couple people took dumps in the porta potties...
  • There was a lot of love beaming from people. Things were said that were very very nice. High quality jokes (some of them involving toiletries). Old friends. New friends. Crossovers. Come back soon.
  • This might be another good reason for me to go into a BOOK CAVE. At my house we've been discussing disconnecting the internet. I go from one extreme to the other. Streaming television is so awesome in the winter, but so is a BOOK CAVE. I drool when …
  • When I was a teen we had a dog who shat himself every single day. Later it was discovered that his food was too rich (puppy food) and he had outgrown it. I don't know much about dog food but I know a little about cat food. I feel weird about buying…
  • We took the full passes off the site (had to give a final number to our food guy). Now we have partial passes (no dinner) available. But look at the Craigslist thread if you want a full one.
  • Very timely: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/tix/2488961989.html
  • We still have passes left! Both dinner options available! Off to print shirts.
  • Thanks guys! We ended up using mailchimp. www.anacortesunknown.com
  • Good news if you or a friend have nowhere to stay during the festival: I have just called the Anacortes Marina to make sure that they will be having camping this year and they will. The spots are first come first served, but I think it's unlikely th…
  • Woo! Crig! And Wanda, whom I am assuming is another W. name. I put an update on our tumblr about the first What the Heck? publication fair. It will be on the website shortly.
  • I sure hope it's a fake. Because from the things he expects from a mate this man sounds like a jealous wife-beater waiting to happen.
  • I am so glad to hear some of you are thinking of coming. It means a lot to get some interest from our peers over at Urban Honking. Come visit our small town! Eat a hot dog at the new hot dog restaurant! Swim in a lake! Places to sleep are scarce and…
  • P.S.: Every year we hope someone will document the shit out of this. Every year a few people say they will shoot a documentary, then they flake out. If you have cameras and filming the events sounds like fun to you, shoot me an e-mail, I would love …
  • Ten a day? That's crazy. I actually can't remember when the last time I got a "spam" phone call was. For a while these people who collect stuff to sell to value village were calling every two days or something. I told them to take me off their list …
  • I have a land line and I have never had a cellphone. Right now I am paying $49 dollars a month for the line, unlimited phone calls to Canada and the U.S. any time of day or night, caller ID, answering machine and call waiting. I don't know how expen…
  • I think any name that sounds tough and cute at the same time is easy to like. "Scrappy" is awesome that way. To me "Joey" sounds tough, but maybe I am mistaken.

  • You named me that, it's true. I like new names for people. I like calling Steve "Seth Rogen". I like calling Zombie "Tina Fey". I like calling Mike "Orlando Bloom". I like calling Alex "Flint". I like calling Claire "Julian Assange". I like calling …

  • I am a lady who lives in Anacortes. But I really like being called Joey. So I won't tell you my real name. (easy to find out anyway)

  • Thor = Encino Man
  • There is a scandal in Canada right now about one of the NDP candidates: She is a twenty-seven year old single mom, co-owner of a pub in Ottawa. She was running for the NDP as a "post", just representing the party in an area where they figured they …
  • What happened to the Bloc Québécois is the end of an era, at least for a few years. I am not a separatist, but I am also not fully against separation. I would never vote for it, but it's a very complicated issue. It can be very sentimental. Last nig…
  • The French-Canadian news guy just said it straight up (roughly translated): "People are worried. Not so much about social issues like abortion, the death penalty and same-sex marriage. Stephen Harper is not going to go back on those things. But he i…
  • IT'S BRUTAL! The Conservatives seem to have obtained a majority government pretty solidly, which is the worst outcome. But THEN, the NDP is going to be their opposition. The Liberals are losing big. We are going to have a very right/left governmen…
  • burial at sea = fishy (!) But if you think about it, where else could they bury the guy? Anywhere humanly accessible would make a weird gnarly shrine to the prophet or a tomb relentlessly desecrated... I think dude is going to be remembered for cen…
