HOLY MOLY ITS HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND. Come out and visit us in the vendor hall for BETWEEN TWO CONS this weekend because the other parts of the convention are sold out. My good buddy will be running my vendor table but I'll be running around and also selling the official Between Two Cons MERCH.

This weekend is Between Two Cons! Badges are sold out but you can still visit the vendor hall! Cairn Press will be there, selling first and third party modules. If I seem even more "extra" than usual, I apologize in advance. I'll be busy! See you in Portland.

my new favorite person in Portland is the wonderful butch at my local dive who found the last quarter of that game on the lone TV for us and then, when the Knicks took the lead, deadpanned "I'm just glad Timothée Chalamet is happy"

And the Kawakami in particular I would love to get more attention - released way back in Jan 2025, after a US autumn 2024 release, which puts it fully out of sync with most of SF's recognition mechanisms. A chilly book in some ways but one that has stayed with me.
