    Ah, man, you penetrated the Heart of Darkness at AWP in Atlanta! Hehe.

    I love that photo of the abandoned buildings. (You took it from the train, I think.)

    Derek, these moving images are mesmerizing! Actually, they’re not mesmerizing. That implies a sort of stupefying effect, and in fact the footage is exhilarating. Thank you for posting it here and elsewhere.

    funny you should mention AWP Atlanta, because the feeling I had at the beginning of the post was like how I felt then, and it’s happened another time since too. I think I’m allergic to the sulfides in bad wines or something.

    Sorry, no goats, but a pretty bad-ass looking goat owner who had the goat kicking under the seat of the matatu. I promise the next dispatch will have goats.
