In which Voodoo Jazz pianist Mister Grey sees a familar face in the crowd. And Doctor Shadow takes rookies Archon and Gallows on a magical mystery tour to meet the King in Yellow.
The wheels are turning, major players are revealed, and the mysterious Augustus Dei is lurking just behind the veil waiting to make his sinster plan known.
Download the latest installment in the super-hero epic like no other, Cobalt City Blues for the sacrifice of two slim quarters. Why, that's only the cost of a phone call! You can't even buy a comic book for fifty cents anymore!

Oozing into 2006
First off, I would like to highly reccomend Goldschlager mixed with Jones Green Apple Soda.
Secondly, I generally HATE New Years. An unfortunate experience on the ill fated night six years ago tainted what was otherwise a fairly innocent holiday. Now, it is difficult for me to just distance myself and have fun. Even though I was spending the evening with most of my best friends in Seattle, I still was plodding towards it as if it were a cramped bamboo cage at the end of a long march.
But, surprise surprise, it was great. Much fun was had, if not by all, at least by me. I engaged James (expert in China studies and history) and John (expert in economics and politics) in a lively discussion about China's emergenance as a global trade power in the last 30 or so years. Yes, to many of you, this may sound dry, but the time just flew by. And it was only one of the many fascinating conversations the evening held in store. By the time the calendar page flipped over, it seemed as if no time had passed at all. In the end, we ended up outliving our hosts endurance and spilled back out onto the streets and then home.
I was reminded of how fortunate I am to have such an amazing group of smart, compassionate, funny, insightful, and just flat out great friends. New Years was a smash, and all that remains is to brush the beer residue from the teeth and turn in.
New Year's Resolution?
"I resolve to break old patterns."
James, also a counsellor and youth minister, advised that in order to break old patterns, it is usually required to, at least in part, reinvent yourself. So if that's what needs to be done, that's what needs to be done. I think possibly, as of now, I will be black. Very, very pale, of course, but black. Yeah, that might be harder than it sounds now. I shall have to consider this in the morning with a somewhat clearer head.
