Beyond the Bat Cave

One great thing about having friends, especially if you’re a hermit, is they make you get out and do stuff. That’s been the case for me this past week. Coffee in Anderson with a refugee from a rained out rehearsal; a beautiful drive up to Asheville to see “Religulous,” listen to a drum circle and eat fish; a blues concert (Mac Arnold) downtown on a lovely, breezy afternoon; and another trip to Anderson today to see a play. One more exciting development …

It looks like I’m designing the official 2009 X-Conference T-shirt. Stephen Bassett, who runs the conference, and I have been corresponding about this in recent days. He’s approved the design and wants shirts for his staff and now is trying to decide how many to have made. If the project goes off as intended, it should cover the cost of attending the 2009 conference for me and my two X-Con companions.
