An Incredible Book Journey: Time Was Soft There

Over the next six weeks, I will have the joy of visiting independent bookstores in 23 cities. Follow the trip and meet the many wonderful friends, book people and random characters I encounter along the way.

Beaulicious



Many people marvel at Kilometer Zero Issue #3 and wonder why it is so beautiful. The answer is this fellow. He was just travelling around Europe, happy as a lamb, when Quinn kidnapped him from Budapest and forced him to sleep on the floor of our Paris art squat so he could spend several weeks of 20-hour days designing the magazine. Amazingly, he has fond memories of the experience.

Technically, I was going to sleep at his new place in San Francisco but I was drinking late and then I had to get up at 4.45 in the morning to drive Cody to the airport, so I just kind of didn't show up. He is worried and I should call or email him, but instead I'm just blurbing it out here.
