Well, I've made the major choice to stop going to shows for a while. So, I have to put my energy here for my own health, life, and sanity. I have three goals for this. Any suggestions and support is welcome.

A brief review & critique by David Skinner, both
Doublethink Master and Galley Slave.
"Thanks for the short-short story. I like several of your sentences, esp
'he
blew me off, blew out some lingering smoke, and blew up the stairs . . . '
The point of view strikes me as a little unstable since he is both
