As mentioned in today's POPLIFE (and I know, I know, I need to update the archive on this site for the column. I need to eat and sleep, too.), Darin is going to Taiwan today. He's on his way to the airport as we speak, probably. I think we've got a thing set up where he's going to write column-like journal entries and email 'em to me; and I'll run them here-- give him a little sidebar archive and everything. last time he did something like this it was called LAND OF THE SKY, MAN OF THE PEOPLE; there was another one called CRACKER TRASH GO BACK TO VIRGINIA about him living in Chicago that got seen by no one but me, Xtop and Vince-- but this time, ha ha ha, there'll be some looking and some reading.
