I usually wouldn't promote my work here, but look at this awesome cover from the Austin Chronicle. And my name is really big! Yay! The story, less exciting, is here.
Also, I might get to go to Richard Garriott's (the guy on the cover) launch party. If you don't know about him from your time in Austin, he throws crazy awesome shindigs. He possibly does the coolest rich guy stuff ever. Like building a replica of Shakespeare's Globe on his Lake Austin property. Just to hang out in. Or owning a part of the zero-gravity plane and taking Stephen Hawking along for the ride. Or hosting gigantic haunted houses with holograms that freak Mark Hamil out. Yay! I'm an objective journalist. Yay!
I want to point out that I am, actually, an objective journalist. The invitation came by way of my editor after I finished the piece and a partially critical review. But, you know, yay!

Yay Joey!!!! That's amazing. Second cover story, right? You are kind of a big deal.
Go to the party. Do it...
Actually, I've had a couple other cover stories since that comics one, but this is by far the coolest looking cover since then. I really want to frame them together, but I worry it might be a little vain. Like a diptych of pretension. Or awesomeness.
And I got my invite to the party today. They'll be sending someone to pick me up and take me home afterwards. Awesome. Also, I'm registered in a contest to win a flight in the space plane!
