The Vague Angels “The Vague Angels of Vagary” –

Art by Mike Allred, Philip Bond, and Laura Allred, with text by Steven T. Seagle. Excerpt from Vertical, published by DC/Vertigo, 2003.

Set to a musical backdrop that evokes the spring in full bloom, Chris Leo rambles on like a modern starry eyed hippie/hipster about the NYC subway system, the history of Brooklyn, falling asleep on the train, riding his bike and hanging out with his girlfriend; managing to make every little detail seem exotic and magical with his breathless delivery.

Also: I will be in Austin for SXSW tomorrow through Monday afternoon. In the meantime, Abby McDonald will be filling in on this site for the remainder of the week.

Elsewhere: If you are going to be at the SXSW festival, it would be lovely if you attended the “Blogs Gone Wild” panel on Saturday at noon. The panel will be moderated by Jason Gross of Perfect Sound Forever, and will feature Mark Willett, Brooklyn Vegan, Maria Sciarrino of Plain Parade, Pitchfork‘s Amy Phillips, and myself.

And: I’m going to keep this contest open until after I return to New York. Bring it on, people! There’s no clear winner just yet, so don’t be discouraged.
