Apart from some paintings and a bit of introductory text, it's totally sourced from my Fall gigography. I had no idea the book was in the works until I read the reviews online. Speaking of, my favorite was Tony Herrington's in The Wire, not surprisingly :)?

It really made me want to pick up the Slang King book until I realized it was gonna cost me almost $60 to get a copy here in the States (especially after he mentions that it was primarily sourced from the Fall Gigography website..)!?
