Can you believe it? Vermin turns 4 today! In honor of this august occasion I thought it would be fun to check-in with/frantically Google the original line-up for the first Vermin event.
JOSH BEARMAN: Married in a fig forest in Kenya with Maasai warriors and bead girls serving as groomsmen and bridesmaids. The Pac-Man piece Josh read from all those years ago finally appeared in Harper's Magazine this summer. He continues to leverage the infosphere.
MIKE FALOON: Edits Zisk Magazine, which is about baseball, and Go Metric, which is gearing up for Issue 22. Woo-hoo times two.
JOE MENO: Unleashing Demons in the Spring. In August. Meaning now. 20 short stories illustrated by 20 artists. Proceeds to benefit Chicago 826. Awesome.
TODD TAYLOR: Doing his part to ensure that Razorcake, one of two nationwide independent punk rock music zines still standing, stays that way.
ANDREA SIEGEL: Moved into dead western-writer Zane Grey's mansion. Got a French Bulldog she named Christmas. Finally fulfilled longtime dream of owning a Ralph Lauren chair. The usual.
And last, but not least, but still last, DAVE GUTHRIE, the man who provided the art work for the first Vermin poster, aka The Ruland Family tattoo artist: When not working on his bowling game, flourishing.
After a short and a very manic summer, Vermin returns with a vengeance this fall. More details to come soon...
