[...] January 29, 2009 I tried writing this last night, but it wasn’t clicking. Not only am I incapable of writing two non-obits/non-elegies back-to-back, but what’s to be said in memorium has been said better than I could hope to. [...]

All this inside the blog world weeping and ripping of garments is pathetic. Scott writes in his lachrymose good bye “…C11 was destined to be much more than just an on line magazine or a series of blogs.” Apparently those in control of destiny had a different destination in mind. Jeez, maybe Calvin was right, good works count for naught. I’m relegated to a very uncomfortable spot, I mean that rock and hard space, frying pan into the fire, agreeing with Will. Oh Lord, what shall we read! Let’s hear it for the free market.

Hahahahaha I do feel like this corner of the blogosphere plays host to a bunch of Culture11 groupies. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Anyway, I still like the idea of reader-supported fund raising drive. Any thoughts on whether that could get off the ground?

Will:
I saw your comment on your site that you hope C11 turns out to be the Velvet Revolver of web-based media. I share that hope.

Given C11’s influence on most of us here at the League, I wonder if that means we at the League get to be Iggy and the Stooges (Freddie, you get to be Iggy Pop).

Well put, Freddie. Adieu, Culture11. Adieu. Thank you for giving me my first “real” publication and providing so very much for me to consider…
