Are you down with the icarus vision of dangerous gifts and feel some inspiration deep in your heart and soul to make art and write words for our next round of outreach and organizing materials?

Oh, my friend, we could really use the help right now.

This is a link to the thread on our forums about the new distro materials we're working on, the trials and tribulations of it all, the drama and intrigue, the incredible potential waiting to be unleashed through the power of community process and mad vision. Come join us in the adventure...
