Huge thanks to our wonderful long-time-fan jorwyn! We have just received ten color versions of Volume 6: Writing on the Wall. And, coming along with them, for the delight of anyone willing to buy one of these – bookmarks!
The full photograph is visible for those who click on either banner top or bottom. They both show off teaser bits of the photo. The bookmarks are beautifully laminated: one side displays the centipede chalking that is appearing around Tempe and Mill Ave in these volumes and the other is some of Sanjana’s beautiful promotional artwork.
There are ten of these volumes available, they cost ten dollars a-piece, and if you buy one you will also get one of these limited edition bookmarks. And by limited edition, I mean that, in the corner of each bookmark is a watermark bearing the number of that bookmark in the series: “1 of 10” to “10 of 10.” Once these are gone, they won’t be made again. They’re actually collectible.
We use the sales of these special color versions to help pay for cover artwork for new upcoming booklets; so, if you have the cash, think about ordering one!
The special edition of Volume 6: The Writing on the Wall is available for purchase. right now. While supplies last.
Since this is the last day that I will be able to go out to Mill, I am going to be there will bells on. Take this literally. Bells. (Okay, maybe not bells..) The marauders have gotten themselves actual straight-up amplification, music, videos, and other interesting things.
There will also be a small number of signed books for anyone who wants one. Just ask.
YOU. ME.
MILL AVENUE.
8pm - 11pm.
Be there.
Expected participants include the Phonecian Free-Thinkers, Rick Astley, and probably Raptor Jesus.
Mill Avenue Vexations Volume 8: The Rule of Lwa by Kyt Dotson has officially been released to print! It will soon be available for order in our online store. (Note: there will, once again, be a special edition release of this volume with a cover printed in color, but it will probably cost around $10 and a very limited number will be made.)
They were actually released last Friday onto Mill Ave, but I didn't get a chance to make an official notice to that effect—so this is it. The full color versions are glorious and display Rebecca Gunter's cover artwork in its stunning countenance; and on the back Julia Maximova's rendering of Vex Harrow, which has inspired me to come up with a Vex Harrow Demotivator Poster.
With this release there will be something of a hiatus of releases as we get the next four volumes, a comic book, and at least one tribute volume ready for the next publication cycle. That cycle will begin anew come autumn and October. In the meantime, little tidbits of other projects and teasers will probably be produced to keep everyone's attentions.
Come out to Mill Ave and get one on Saturday April 12th and April 19th to get one! These are the last two chances this year, unless you want to buy one from the store! While supplies last!
Sign up for our forums! Come out and bask in the ethereal glow that is Mill Avenue Vexations. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
More news about a stabbing that occurred Friday, on Mill Avenue.
A stabbing victim was still in critical condition Tuesday and Tempe Police are requesting the public's help in finding his assailant.
At 9:10 p.m. Friday, an unknown man stabbed a 39-year-old La Pita Bar security guard in the chest and arms and left him in critical condition, police reported.
This article about the stabbing appeared today in the ASU Webdevil. I realized this could be of interest of many of my friends and companions who frequent the Ave. I wasn't there on Friday, so I didn't know this happened, but as everyone knows we do not take kindly to people being stabbed...
I am certain Osiris will appreciate this sentiment.
Anyone who has any information on this event, or knows anyone who might, should really help the police out. We may have our issues with their behavior when it comes down to Tempe City policy, but broadly they are our protectors and we should support them when they're doing their job.
An interesting little story has cropped up out of the ether of the Internet about the All Saints Catholic Newman Center’s plans to build a student dormitory.
People may already be aware of this small parish on the outskirts of ASU campus proper, on University near Mill Ave, and I happen to know some people who go there. In fact, I know some of the priests from another life – it’s strange that I never see any of them on the Ave – but c’est la vie I suppose.
he Roman Catholic Diocese in Phoenix plans to develop a 22-story building on the Arizona State University campus that will be used for student housing. The planned development, being called All Saints Newman Center Student Housing, will be built on the site of the existing Newman Center. The historic Old St. Mary’s Church, which is part of the current development, will be preserved.
The images on the Loft Network forums are certainly interesting. With the building that is currently the Newman Center being modified to look a lot more modern, but keeping the St. Mary’s chapel as is (which is something of a landmark now, anyway.) Also, the tower looming there, glinting with glass. It would certainly look a lot more like current development with that sort of architecture.
I suppose they’re looking to make money? If they’re going to submit to be dormitories for ASU they will have to open them up to any comers who can afford them – at least, I can assume so for open housing and student housing necessity. Some of the questions on the Associated Press article suggest that people wonder if there will be restrictions on who can live there by religion, which I see running quickly afoul of fair housing laws and common hospitality in general.
We will see where these are going to end up going, I suppose.
