so ken baumann (sator press owner) spends weeks plugging the ‘mystery’ of marvinkmooney on htmlgiant. & the writer comes out as chris higgs also of htmlgiant
free publicity
ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?

man fuck all that. good work ken. book looks beautiful. you know i love higgs’ work. already purchased. the only people getting upset are the same network-y motherfuckers who wish they would’ve thought of it in the first place. excited to see what you’ll bring us.

ken read a book he wanted to publish and has the ability to publish that book. if christopher higgs wrote a book ken didn’t want to publish, there would probably be a different book there. thanks ken, for publishing books.
if you published/wrote a book you’d publicize it too.

I am SOOO glad that the men behind Marvin K. Mooney are Chris and Ken. Chris is awesome and Ken is probably awesome, too, though I wouldn’t know. Who doesn’t love BSC? Congrats to you both.

Good news, I think. Fun times.

I have touched a copy of this book, and it looks & feels great. I mean both the content and the presentation. It is slick and lovely and legit, like an FSG paperback. I don’t know how Ken put this together so quickly and on the sly, but I was super impressed, and I’m super looking forward to reading it.

YESSSSSSSSS
You guys are sly. I like the hubbub. In college someone kept hanging up signs that just said, “Beware the Wall” and no one knew what it was about. Then at the variety show, which was a big deal for our small school, there was an amazing play about a wall. It was one of the most impressive art moments I’ve ever seen. This is like that. I admire you for making life interesting.
And I just bought the heck out of that book.
Huzzah! Can’t wait!

darby, Adam, Justin, Mike, Amy: Thank you!
Adam: The life of the Marvin K. Mooney Society is new. It can sustain and morph and be a part of the story, as much as the story is a part of itself. That’s the idea, anyway.

Young should get a free audio book or cash for a Glacier reference. Remember that kick Glacier could do in WCW VS. NWO WORLD TOUR? Nobody could escape it.

Come to think of it is there an excerpt on the way? Are the bits posted around town representative? I am curious. Seems like the only thing missing.

You are a good man, Adam Robinson. A truly good man, indeed.
(ps – “Colorless Green Ideas…” is in this! — and in the audiobook it’s read amongst a busy street in France — or is it Algeria? — one of those.)

Your list of challenging / beautiful quotes makes me smile.
Your list of challenging / beautiful quotes makes me smile.
I was/am being sincere.
Do you want an apology? Do you want me to disappear? What would make the world a better place for you? Should all art be perfectly suited to your aesthetic? What do you want? What do you like to eat? What do you want me to be? Do you want me to be something else for you? Are you happy when critical? Do you think your HTMLGiant comments are effective? Do you public displays of disdain make you feel happy? What do you praise?

(shrugs) I’ll try to answer in an organized fashion:
1. You’ve done nothing that requires an apology. I guess.
2. People don’t disappear. Often.
3. Well, I love seafood, so I’d really appreciate if people would refrain from polluting the ocean.
4. That made me smile.
5. A sandwich. I’m pretty hungry. It’s 4:58 PM where I am right now.
6. I really like food. Like I said, I want a sandwich.
7. Do you have a bunny costume?
8. That made me smile.
9. Am I really that critical? I do read a lot of Althusser.
10. A little.
11. Sometimes.
12. I’m actually agnostic.

I love it. Intelligent viral marketing. I wasn’t privy to the buildup, so I spent an hour on a little treasure hunt through the ghosts of blogospere Past, Present, and Future (minus Present and Future); what a creative campaign.
