Whatever Wednesday is dead.

Wait, before you freak out, keep reading. 

Reasons why

1. wednesdays are hard (Wednesday nights used to be my only free night, now I just have 9 consecutive hours of stuff without time for emails in between)

2. attendance has dropped off to the point that a population sampling of my apartment on Wednesday night is indistinguishable from any other time of the week

3. I'd rather have an infrequent, high quality newsletter than have a wanton rag that comes at the same time every week

4. the second anniversary just passed and I didn't even attempt to do anything to celebrate it

5. c'mon, you're as bored as I am

I was waiting for the right moment to break the news because I knew it wouldn't go over well and because I knew it wouldn't be easy for me, and it wasn't--to call time of death. Nor was it fun to condemn something I've been working on religiously for two years. But writing is my religion and it doesn't care if I worship false gods as long as I write about convincingly, so I'm starting over.

next steps: 

+by default I will be keeping this email list intact. If you wish to be removed, please let me know, and I will empathetically understand, as you will no longer be getting what you signed up for.

next steps for me:

+figure out a snappy name (what do you think about "endoplasmic ridiculum"?)

+set up web page to blog at

+write an email that's so dope that everybody wants to keep reading.
