Well guys, I don’t see how I’m going to have time to do another feature before I go, unless it’s a goodbye feature. I feel horrible. I thought I would have time to update right until the very end, but that’s obviously not the case. To prevent this from being some emo livejournal post about how much I have to do, blah blah, I’m just going to launch into what IS going to happen, rather than what’s NOT going to happen, and the reasons for that.

1) There will be guest features while I’m gone. Or there should be. Three people or so have agreed to chip in with the fighting effort to keep Jux alive without me, so we’ll see what happens.

2) You still have Kenny, Travis and Laurie. So…yeah, they’ll be here too. Hopefully writing a feature or two.

3) I’m going to try to post journal features from Italy . This is NOT A DEFINATE THING. I have no idea if I’ll be able to pull that off or not, but I’m going to have my laptop and a digital camera with me while I’m there, and I plan on keeping a travel-journal thing anyway, and taking a shit ton of pictures. When/if I get downtime I’m going to burn those things onto a CD and pray that I find a net cafe that gives me access to a CD-ROM drive. If I do, I’ll try to upload some nifty journal stuff for you. While they won’t be strictly humourous features like most Jux fair, they’ll be written by me …so yeah. Pretty pictures? At the very least I’ll toss a newspost or two up while I’m gone.

4) It’s not FOREVER. Just from now until sometime in/around August 10th. Probably a bit after that, since my cousin is getting married and I have classes starting RIGHT after I get back.

As a final note, not that any of you care, UPS tells me that all the copies of the second draft of my novel that are going to be distributed before I leave are now in the hands of those people to whom they belong. Word.
