New Stuffs About Me

Okay- I have a new job. I start next week. It has something to do with Marketing and Sales, which I have been wanting to get more experience with. But, (there is always a catch, you know?) I go through training Monday-Friday next week, and will only find out then if it actually is a really good job, or not. Does not pay extremely well, but could lead to full time gig, commissions, etc. I'm not going into details until the end of next week. I'm superstitious like that.


2nd Thingy- Big News! I am going to have a second book published by the same publisher that published my Withdrawals From A Legal Drug book. Except, the book is not about me, at all. It will be called, Three Novellas and is a work of fiction. Expect constant emails from me goading all of you into purchasing it. It will, of course, go through the test run of an ebook, like the last one, and then about six months or so from now, it will be sold as a paperback. I'm very excited because it took me a long time to write the three stories in the book, and twice as long to get it into publication. (I am now doing a "Self-High-Five!")


3rd Other Thingy- A kind woman I know who owns a small shoe store named Milo's Shoes on Ray Street is having a raffle, and shindig, this Saturday, the 10th of January, the same night as North Park Nights (new name for Ray At Night.) She is also selling a hand-painted pair Vans Shoe's that I won in another raffle two or three years ago. I did not personally paint the shoes she is selling for me, and I have not decided with her about whether or not the pair I am selling will be raffled off, or just remain for sale in her store for eternity. For those of you who do not know, North Park Nights, as a continuance of the longstanding Ray At Night event, has been struggling with attendance and art purchases pretty much all of last year. Several of the galleries, and independant stores in that area have either gone out of business, or changed ownership so many times nobody knows who fucking owns them. The artists are not selling much work, and this keeps new galleries from opening up, and, in a larger context, makes any vital business in the North Park area suffer a little bit. SOOOOOOOO- Go out and support Milo's, North Park Nights, buy some raffle tickets, drink some beer and wine for donation prices, and at least LOOK at the art. Peace!
