Had big True West pow wow at two this afternoon to go over the 2009 editorial calendar. Meghan and I pitched it to Trish and Bob Brink. Lots of good ideas and jamming (my favorite activity, besides drawing). Going to be a very exciting year for the magazine.

Also scheduled a staff meeting for next Wednesday. Haven't had one since BW (Before Wipeout). Ha.

I was supposed to go out to Bryan Neumeister's studio tonight after work to work on the Exits Exit video, but he had to cancel. He has a big job for a major client that dropped in his lap and is due tomorrow.

A certain writer (not The Top Secret Writer) has finished the fourth or fifth draft of an excellent piece on the events of Kingman. And as I told him, it's tighter than a gnat's ass stretched over the rim of a rain barrel. Can't wait to share it, but in the meantime here's a few wise words from my old vaquero compadres:

"Take risks. If you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise."
