More raves for Out of the Gutter 4, this time from UT Austin. We made the newspaper, The Daily Texan, in the Life & Arts section from June the 5th. Dylan Miracle's piece is Indie journal gets its readers' minds 'Out of the Gutter' and my story gets a plug. M.C. gets quoted!

Summer vacation is finally here. TPP will be cooking for the next two weeks and then go on 'holiday hiatus' until mid-July. We are southbound this year: Mexico.
