I didn’t realize that it’s obligatory to do a year-in-review post when you have a blog. My apologies. As you might have noticed, I don’t really talk about my personal life online, so that will more or less be left out of it.

• I did a mini-tour as a drummer for Ego Likeness.
• I published SteamPunk Magazine #4, which will be my last SteamPunk as primary editor.
• I tabled anarchist bookfaires and the portland zine symposium, always fun.
• I apprenticed as an offset printer with anarchist publishers Eberhardt Press.
• I had my first art show as a photographer.
• I traveled the southwest, saw the grand canyon and death valley. I visited Seattle for the first time, and then went back repeatedly, making awesome friends in the process. I ended a long relationship and moved from Portland to Baltimore.
• I played my first (and second, third, fourth, and I think fifth) show as a solo accordion player.
• I released two albums: We Are Not In The Least Afraid of Ruins, with my industrial band Attack Attack Attack, and Demo 08, a solo accordion thing.
• I finished a comic book that will be coming out soon.
• I wrote and published a number of small zines.
• I found out that a project of mine on anarchist fiction writers will be published by AK Press: my first book deal.

Next year? I don’t really make resolutions, but I will say I will be disappointed if I haven’t finished a longer form fiction work by the end of it. But yeah, more shows, more zines, more photography, more books, more traveling.
