Yuko got pretty sick after NYCC and she's still a little under the weather. You know that feeling when you can feel illness coming on and you're all, "Bluuuuh nooooo" and it's all "Hey what's up let's hang out" and then you're all "Get outta here no one likes you" and it's all "hey I'm staying over for a few days that's cool right?" Oh, in unrelated news George is staying with us for a few days. 

You learn not to do this quickly ... at least if you don't want to get sick. I'm not really a germaphobe, but Yuko and I do tend to carry a bottle of hand sanitizer these days. 

Johnny Wander V1 orders: they are coming! If you ordered on the 28th, your order is out the door. If you ordered on the 29th, your order will ship tomorrow at the latest. Thanks for your patience! 

He was really excited about chi! Just something I overheard on the subway on the way back from an excursion into the city. Public transit is good for listening in on other peoples' conversations, often whether you want to or not. But I usually want to - sometimes I get a good quote for dialogue or some insight into a group of people (like Wall St). 

I should mention that Yuko drew this comic despite being sick - thank you! There are beads of sweat in this ink!! A testament to her grit and dedication. 

Hey guys! First and foremost is the announcement that Phoenix Down shirts are back up for sale! Bigcartel is providing us with a snazzy storefront. These are the extra shirts we ordered, some of which we've sold at conventions past. 

Oh man I think I am almost back to normal ... I haven't been this sick in a while. Yuko's been mega-sweet and totally patient while she takes care of me ... thanks babe!

Oh oh so we got one of those Iron Gym pull-up bars! The way they're set up, utilizing weight and counter-weight, it's pretty slick! Also, awesome to have around. I'll be working, and if I'm taking a break or I need to think a problem out, I can go do a couple of pull-ups in the meantime. It's also become an unspoken rule that if you walk by the pull-up bar, you've got to do at least try doing some pull-ups.
