THE NOT NOT A CONTEST'S HOT LEFTOVERS

....I didn't win, but I had a good time.

Blake Butler's/Lamination Colony's THIS IS NOT NOT A CONTEST has come to a close, with Bobby Alter's "A cardiovasc" claiming the crown. Congrats to Bobby. Can't wait to read it.

Alas, I did manage to sneak into the top ten finalists, which was a pleasant surprise. It was nice to stand so close to Darby Larson. He's musky.

Big thanks to Blake for putting together the show, and for taking the time to read all of the submissions and hammer out a decision. Bravo, sir.

Blake,

Hells yeah I'm down, brother, as long as you don't mind that I fired the bullet here first.

Thanks again for taking the time and putting together a great party.

Best, Mel
