Howdy. I'd like to let you know that I've just published a book, an old-fashioned book, the kind with pages that you hold in your hands and read. It's called Modern Expressions in Quality Management: A Customary Approach, and it's a collection of 60 writings which could be called experimental poetry and tiny fictions. This is the nifty-ass cover:

If you're so inclined to purchase a copy (for which I'd be pretty thankful) you may do so at this site or if we get around to doing a screening anytime this century, I'll try to have some there, too. I think you might dig some of the stuff in the book, so do what seems right to you and we'll go from there.

We've been pretty scattered lately, tied up in lots of other things that have kept us from doing any big projects, but we hope to work on something sooner rather than later.

But it's not like we've just been sitting around with Ruffles in our crotches. William Winchester Claytor recently collaborated with Goatmother (Mark Rice of The Impossible Shapes) on a 20 minute experimental video called Tall. It's split into two ten minute parts because YouTube said so. Here they are!

We're going to be showing our 2006 short Puzz at the upcoming Cans Film Festival, hosted by Rachael's Cafe here in Bloomington. It goes down September 11 through 13, and it's nice to have another festival happening here in jolly south central Indiana. It truly is. We haven't shown Puzz in about a year or so, and it seems to be the most generally liked piece we've done. It really is not a bad little movie and the ending is a heart-warmer. Click the image to the right to see its nifty trailer.

Plus, as an added layer of good vibes, the fest is a benefit for the Hoosier Hills Food Bank. In layman's terms, that's what we call a "good cause." Speaking of good causes, if you haven't seen it yet, take a nice, long gander at the documentary we produced this year for Mother Hubbard's Cupboard.
