    Such a fantastic round-up. Kudos to both you and Carter. Well done! However, I believe The Darkest Hour should read: The Darkest Dark.

    Hey Travis, Hey Carter, love these…of course!
    I am jetlagged from attending NCTE, and live in Shanghai, so you are messing with my mind a bit…
    BUT
    I don’t think next Monday is the 26th…right? mmmmm Right?
