About me:
...THE2NDHAND publishes short fiction and nonfiction. Todd Dills edits the broadsheet and recently relocated to Birmingham, AL, after eight years of publishing from Chicago. There's a little bit about that at the Chicago Reader site. Dills edited in 2004 a best-of collection called All Hands On: A THE2NDHAND Reader, and he's the author of a chapbook of short stories, For Weeks Above the Umbrella, and the novel Sons of the Rapture, out from Featherproof Books in 2006. You can order it here.

I do a site you might dig. It's all about art, music, literature, and we're taking a firsthand look at medical marijuana in California. Check it out and spread the love.

Funland is the land of pleasure, yes. Funglasses sometimes get tipped over. The residue is sometimes beautiful, sometimes appalling. Happy New Year.

Hi Todd, thanks for the add and for finding me on GoodReads! I've started writing again, in those rare moments I'm not risking life/limb/lungs running around abandoned buildings getting photos for Flickr...Hope things are cool in AL.

Todd, what's up? Kevin Griffin here, been awhile since I've wrote, been crazy busy here lately, my fiance and I just had triplets 4 months ago as of this past friday, they were born may 21...It was funny I got to looking through a lot of the old band pics from back in the day a few weeks ago, I had forgotten about alot of them, but I ran across some of us with you and Rob with us up at Rockys lol remember that place, plus a ton of old Illusion and Shine pics, remember the night we were supposed to play and got snowed out and we all stayed at Dan's haha good times man...

I see you're in AL now, hell if you ever come through the Hill anytime soon look me up...

In march I will ride into your fair town on a wind of fury, snack foods and bad body odor. What a time we will have. Until then...

I am astonished by your Pagan doctrine. Your beliefs are willy-nilly. There is but one true set of directions- and you sir, have burned them.
