oh yeah, freakin' ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fairytalevegas was there, with some sort of giant camera lens and a huge two page spread of one of her fotoz in the book!
Despite motels smelling of rotting meat, I knew that what you were embarking on was bigger than one book.
This is a fantastic post. You are fantastic.
This is very inspiring. Thank you. :)
This came at precisely the right time.
Quiche will be very pleased to see Boss with purple hair!
Congratulations on seeing how popular your work is, and wow - 1,300 dollars.
jaws started hanging open once it went over $250 and then they just stayed on the floor as it went up and up and up ....
quiche is a trendsetter. i should post her purple hair pix!
fabulous images! i wish i could have been there :(
Excellent.
First picture makes me want stockings & garters...
that, is a good thing.
amandas looked to be wool or some such.
Hi Kyle. It was wonderful meeting you tonight (right before the signing). Thank you for the post card. I will place it in my WKAP book when it arrives, and remember how beautiful tonight was.
it was awesome to meet you -- i wish we'd had time to hang around more -- we made the bus by 10 minutes.
GAH! SO jealous. DO you think you'll do a book tour with this? As one Portland resident I'm sure we'd love to have you.
I love Neil and Amanda is awesome but I'll be buying this book for your work.
You inspire me.
We've been trying for a visit to Portland from K + T for a while. I suspect they cannot resist much longer. lol
"Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
they've all come to look for America..." - Paul Simon -
Love the way you've caught the silver in Neil's hair.
right now, i'm sort of occupying that space you were in three years ago, wishing that this period of time was over so that i can be certain of things and not feel so aimless, so desparately muddled; so reading this really lifted my spirits and provided encouragement. thank you.
Congrats on another fabulous milestone in your career, which looks as though it will be pretty successful!
It must be fabulous to collaborate with such fascinating people as Neil and Amanda; I'm a little jealous, but in the good way, that means I am impressed and inspired :-)
wait till you see the ego likeness cover!
Oh, sweet heavens! That bookstore...! Squee! Do you think, perhaps, you could bring that back for us one day? We'd be ever so grateful!
And again, how lovely-- congrats!
PAINT SHOP PRO 5?! oh god I miss that program so much ;_;
That was my first big image editing program. I learned how to color drawings digitally in that program. Before I even knew what layers were or had a tablet or anything. Memories...
Nice Kyle, your writing is getting as interesting as your images.
I didn't expect to end up in tears when I started reading this.
I didn't expect you to either, but it's somehow wonderful to hear. Thank you.
Aw, man, Housing Works is my favorite organization. Wish I could have been there.

Once again, dude, great post. I'm still in the stage where I need the validation, and I wish I could tell when I'm wasting my time/going in the wrong direction, and when I'm not.

your play was awesome. i think you're going in the right direction.
Congratulations on all of your success. It is well deserved.
I have this urge to scrawl "Mrs." on the sign on the chair that Trillian is sitting in. Or possibly cross out your name in the next chair and write "Mr. Trillian Stars."
or on the sofa of some kind soul I'd only met that day
As one of those folks, we rather enjoyed having you as houseguests. If you're ever in 12074, you're welcome to use us as a crashpad.
Accomodation options:
(1) Proper room with pull out sofa
(2) Inflatable beds scattered throughout
(3) Camping by the stream (can't see the house, can barely hear the cars, but there's hot breakfast and showers).
There's 4 bathrooms, 3 of which have showers, so we can put up an entourage too.
If it happens to be in the late summer/early fall, we'll have fresh vegetables from the garden. Other times of the year, they'll likely be frozen from the previous harvest.
Edit:
I should probably mention that you can throw a rock and hit the beginning of the Adirondack park line.

Wow. $1300. I bet you felt like they put one too many zeros in there. Especially since it took MORE THAN ONE PERSON to be bidding that high.
Did the other one get auctioned off too? How much did that one go for?
And if you know, did any of the Ednoria pics get in after the revamping? If not, I'd like to know now so I can manage my expectations when it arrives in July!
there is one ednoria photo i saw in there.
Saving this in my memories. I think you inspired a lot of people today.
I never think so, but then I get an email from someone a year later saying "I printed out something you said and taped it over my desk and now I've published my first comic book."
so who knows!

Fantastic photos, Kyle. Congrat on the success and having people whisper your name like that. That's brilliant, truly. Also, where in Jersey are you? That's where I grew up. Awesome place, if you forget all the Sopranos crap. (I grew up on a horse farm! And no one in my family wore a track suit. *grin*) I'll be there next week, actually. (Best Italian restaurant, here I come...)
Anyway, thanks for sharing these--your wisdom, stories, and photos.

we just went through nj and popped out on the other side.
Thanks, Kyle. I really needed to read something like this today.
Very well said. It really hit home for me. |
