When things get too comfortable and things get too safe, I get the feeling like I’m smothering. It’s like somebody’s burying me in feathers.
Writer Harry Crews died on Wednesday at the age of 76. He had a hard life and didn’t made it any easier for the characters in his novels. (via nprfreshair)

I just added a super, awesome, ultimate, many-other-hyperbolic-adjectives HOBART package to the Southern Summer Comfort Tour Kickstarter page. It’s basically everything Hobart-related we’ve ever made that we still have more than one of (i.e. I wasn’t smart enough to keep more than a single copy of a few of these issues and I’m not giving away my very last copy). It’s kinda expensive because it’s a) a ton of stuff, and b) literally our third- and second-to-last copies of some of this stuff. It includes:
- all available HOBARTs (ten in total: 2, 3, 5, 6, 8-13)
- the infamous 2008 wall calendar, feat. (mostly) never-before-seen (?) photos of Sam Lipsyte, Brian Evenson, Aimee Bender, Jeffrey Brown, Ben Percy holding a gun, and me and Elizabeth in Santa costumes
- hardcover Hobart #11, handbound by the peeps at Spork. this mess is beautiful. seriously. Spork is ridiculous.
- the forgotten-about-until-I-was-cleaning-my-office Hobart/Monkeybicycle #2.5 broadside that we printed in… 2003 (?!) in anticipation for the Ho/Mo #3 double issue.
- all Hobart swag (flask, shot glass, ashtray, matchbooks)
This is what’s in my pantry. You can eat this stuff, right?

this catch. over and over.
It will be forever known in Lower Columbia College baseball lore as “The Catch.”
Derrick Salberg’s leaping catch over the left field bullpen fence with a runner on and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning robbed Everett as the Red Devils held on for a 4-2 victory in the first round of the NWAACC Baseball Championships at David Story Field on Friday.
“By far the best catch I’ve ever made,” Salberg said of a play that ended up No. 1 on SportsCenter’s countdown of the top 10 plays of the day Friday night. “I was waiting for the bullpen pitchers to tell me I was getting close to the fence. Thank God I didn’t run into the fence, and I’ve got some hops.”

this has gotta be great background for some kind of writing project…
For people of a certain age, who grew up with a certain frame of reference, this is solid gold.
