Life is too freaking weird. Quimby’s the restaurant? Just happens to be in MY HOMETOWN of Newport, Oregon, and seems to have taken over the spot of Cosmos Cafe, where I spent many many hours drinking coffee crafting my very first zine White Space circa 1995. I’m 100% freaked out by this coincidence.
Awesome.
