UPDATE: I am still alive

To everyone who's been asking: yes, it's true, i am still alive (and thus still qualified to give bad advice). And I'm touched at the internet campaign you all started to inquire about my safety, that was really sweet. it's good to know you all care, and that you all still need bad advice (even though i was pretty sure i solved the world's problems already). in case you wondered, here's what i've been doing:

L - I - V - I - N'

and

D - R - I - N - K - I - N'

and I've also been working on the DGGBA zine vol. 1, which will be sure to disappoint anyone who's actually been waiting excitedly for it since it was first mentioned (seriously, it's been like months. does anyone even remember DGGBA? I had to read the archives to remember what it stood for). i'm expecting to have the first copies done by the weekend, which is ironic because i'm not expecting to have my taxes done until may. is that irony? whatever, wouldn't be the first word i misused.

but to celebrate the release of my first greatest hits compilation (IT'S ALL FUCKING GOLD), i'm offering you (yes you) the readers of DGGBA to do the unthinkable: offer me (hopefully good) advice! please write in to ihateyourartschool AT gmail DOT com your own response to the following:

Does anyone know a good place to get cheap ink cartridges? Or isn't there some way to, like, refill them? I mean, I already made stencils and bought paper (NICE paper), there's no fucking way I'm buying a brand new ink cartridge just to finish this shit.

Send in your responses by Wednesday at 11:59 pacific time, and I'll repost the winner's response right here - in this very blog (though I might take credit for it if it's particularly clever...let's face it kid, i'm the name on the marquee)!

also, although i'm still technically on my break, since I'm such a hard worker, y'all can go ahead and send me any questions you might need advice on. I mean, i'm still not going to DO them yet but right now I got nothing.

EDIT: please note i'm also looking to start contributing to the Our Favorite Records blog as well with similarly hard-nosed dedication. does that even make sense?

heart - dave
