After two weeks of being away from home and away from the blog, I'm back in Charleston. From June 10-25, I was in the following places:
1. Seaside, CA, visiting with Catherine and James, flying kites on the beach, eating cheese blintzes and chocolate chip cookies, and generally having a wonderful time. I also got to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and touch sea urchins, sea slugs, and god knows what else in the touch tanks.
2. Oakland, CA, taking part in the National Women's Studies Association Conference, hanging out with a bunch of cool feminists, and interviewing Lisa Jervis and Andi Zeisler, founders of Bitch magazine, for my upcoming book on feminist zines.
3. Olympia, WA, working with a team from the College of Charleston to design a first-year experience for our campus. While I was there, I also got to interview Nomy Lamm for the aforementioned book on zines.
Now I'm back and trying to nudge myself into serious, full-on research mode...you see how well that's going, what with the blogging and all. But I wanted to let you all know where I'd been.

Good to see you back and blogging! I can't wait to hear more about your trip and all you accomplished on it. See you in a week or so...
Love, Mom
I love flying kites. Especially if it's a batman one.
Glad you had a fun time and hung with cool people doing fun stuff!
Hopefully I'll get to Charleston soon and hear all about it in person.
Love,
Megan
I can't wait to read the zine book!

p.s. Being in a new place, I suddenly realized yesterday that I need Walter Biffle. I feel like if Walter were here we would be oriented to the surrounding areas within a weekend, instead of the weeks it will more than likely take me to venture out :).
That's it, that's it. I forgot to renew my subscription to Bitch magazine. Dang baby, just dang.
