i just picked up a copy of flight volume 3 from kazu's place, and it looks amazing! i tried to refrain from reading the material while it was in development, so i'm actually reading it now for the first time (unlike the last two volumes). so far, it's excellent. the books are under ballantine now rather than image comics, and the production quality is superb. the cover is powdery soft and the pages are vibrant. and it smells nice.

tomorrow night is the d.u.e. your homework party at hangar 1018, which is sponsored by kotori magazine. it's a huge show, with lots of artists and photographers showing their work, and live bands and djs. doors open at 8:00pm, show's over at 2:00am. maybe all of us at kotori headquarters will be special guests. :) see you there!

speaking of kotori, layout progresses on issue 7, and i know i sound like a broken record but it just keeps getting better and better. i seem to have buried myself in projects once again... i'm not sure that's really ever going to change, but it's all the better because i get antsy during my downtime. i'm juggling 5 or 6 large web projects right now, my full-time gig, kotori 7, and band practice. and frisbee playing.

last weekend captain tom tufto and ali baba came to visit and it was a blast. it was awesome to hang out with everyone. good times and good laughs. danny wanted us all to sing a quick 5-part harmony tune for his voicemail message. if you know us, this quickly turned into a 2-minute epic song with multiple parts, harmonies, and was recorded professionally. ridiculous... but fun. :)
