I was away for most of November, speaking at a few venues and signing books in Dublin, London, Paris, Brussels, and Manila. I'm grateful to have met so many great people abroad. Many thanks to the Offset crew (Richard, BrenB, & Asbestos), Orbital & Paul Gravett, Album & Germanico LaPosse & Audrey Bonnemaison, Brüsel & Carl Wyckaert, and Fully Booked & Jaime Daez for making the journey possible. Here are a few pictures that I took along the way.
