Burning, man

Just finished writing GR43's launch and going over things one more time–cover text, page numbers in the TOC, headlines, etc. This issue was really hairy with the late-coming ads (a good thing), some writers who came through at the last second (or not), and Comic-Con going on at the same time.

Last night was harsh. Wendy and Pryor worked past 3:00 a.m. and Eric and I were here until after 4:00. But I think this issue is worth it. I always do.

Now I'm burning a CD of hi-res PDFs to send to our printer in Manitoba.

Meanwhile, I'm listening to Jonesy's Jukebox. He's going nuts with the echo box and sci-fi song themes. He already played "Space Oddity." Wonder if he knows "Space Christmas" by Shonen Knife or "Chewbacca" by Supernova?

Speaking of the Costa Mesa sci-fi rockers, what's up with the TV show ripping of their name? They can't get away with that, can they?

Okay, the disc is ready. Time to pack up the car, take the CD to FedEx, pick up GR gear for SD, and hit the road. I don't have an iPod connecter to my car, by my shuffler has the following in each slot:

1 - Fugazi Live Series (I think Switzerland, 1999)1
2 - Fugazi Live Series (I think Switzerland, 1999)2
3 - Sonic Youth, Rather Ripped
4 - The 'Tone
5 - J Church
6 - maybe Led Zeppelin. I haven't decided yet.

Looking forward to getting sandwiches at Cali. See you at the Con!
