Congratulations, The New Yorker cartoon collective. You made me laugh for the first time in a long while, and there were no cats involved!
TRY HARDER! Two funny cartoons a year is not worth the price of subscription! Nor are John Updike's contributions or the Shouts & Murmurs column, the latter of which is never intentionally funny! Or, for that matter, Sasha Frere-Jones crazy racist accusations! Jesus Christ, I still can't get over the fact that he actually called Stephin Merritt racist for liking "Zippity Doo Dah." I guess I'm racist because I like riding Splash Mountain! Oh gee! Anthony Lane, you keep it up! Your reviews of bad movies never fail to make me cackle. David Denby, get a new job. Leave all of the movie reviewing to Anthony Lane, thanks!
Also, INTERNET, keep it up! You continue to make my life better with websites like this one.
ALSO, I'm going to Chicago in July for the Shovel Media.com Festival. I WILL SEE JARVIS IN PERSON, and I will scream, "I LOVE U, JARV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" OMG! The bad news: They sold out of three day passes mere hours after I decided for sure I was going and I had to cough up an extra fifteen bucks and purchase a one-day pass (because I really do need to see Mission of Burma perform Vs. in its entirety) and a two-day pass. Boo! Hiss!
But, Chicago! Yay! I've never been! Should be fun.

anyway, hello. and i hope you enjoy your time in this fantastic city. perhaps i will see you at the Boris show post-Pitchfork. but it'll probably be packed.
i assume you're not making the trip entirely alone - but certainly, if you want to give me a holler when you're in town, or at the Empty Bottle, or whatever - just let me know...
