Passing the Literary Baton

Oh, you knew this might happen.

All good things come to an end, and it's time for this writer to give up the blog for other Fried Eagle duties. And so I pass the literary baton to a new writer with a different style and voice.

And with this final post, I leave behind my favorite behind-the-scenes memories:

1.  The boy who inhaled nine cookies in two minutes and was unable to speak because he was writhing on the playground clutching his belly. In front of Senator Chip Shields, no less.

2.  The very first article, Paper Airplanes, and how it made the zine a reality for everyone. It became a goal we could literally grasp (and fold and unfold and smudge with dirty fingers).

3.  Slappy Cakes, Slappy Cakes, Slappy Cakes

(You'll have to buy the zine to find out why.)

4. The earnest, thoughtful reasons for why each child is voting for a specific mayoral candidate.

(Again, buy the zine.)

4.  And finally, let's not forget those boys with sticks.
