snoopy dance!

Hey, very cool...my copies of Applied Arts magazine and Harp Column magazine came in the mail yesterday! The March/April issue of Applied Arts contains my profile of Vancouver illustrator, Luc Latulippe (p40-47). Luc's artwork is featured on the cover. The March/April issue of Harp Column contains my article, "Online Resources For Harpists" (p26-31) and includes a short profile and photo of Gwen Knighton from The Weird Sisters. I interviewed Gwen on the #filkhaven IRC channel. :-)





I know I've sold other articles, but the main reason I'm so excited about these is because they're my first visible publications since Inkspot was shut down, the first sales I made after I came back from my sabbatical.





By the way, I was tickled to receive the following e-mail yesterday:

Subject: Hello...

I visited your site "blatherings"... as a result of a search for "AlphaMassage". You are a very entertaining writer. I had a hard time leaving. :) I found your description of the AlphaMassage in the August 1998 blatherings a great description of a hard-to-describe experience.

I designed the AlphaMassage in the 90's for Sybaritic Inc. in Minneapolis. Since then it has undergone many design revisions, and has even had the distinction of being "knocked off" by a chinese company. They took molds right off of our parts and are selling them cheaper and beating us in the asian market.

We have since designed a steam unit and others, which you may see at http://www.sybaritic.com if you are inclined.

Well anyway, thanks... may I use the description you wrote as a testimonial in my own product design marketing materials?

Many thanks.

Sincerely,

James Garrison
