Two months ago Matthew Baldwin told the Guides that August 24-28 would be devoted to guest posts and Kevin Guilfoile, who is a professional, wrote this on a calendar, and Matthew Baldwin, who is not, did not, and, long story short, Kevin doesn’t have a post prepared, so we’re running the weekly guest post today and Kevin will do the Friday slot, and all of this is pretty much 100% Matthew’s fault, although, to be fair, who expects people to write things onto calendars in this day and age, I mean really.

How does this not have a comment yet? This is a damned funny post. Sure we could parse it and call it meta and discuss the wizard behind the curtain at Infinite Summer, but mostly this a is a funny post.
We forgive you. Professional, nonprofessional, calendar writers and not. Because, to be fair, who expects people to have lives and run a massive extravaganza like infinite summer and keep everything flowing like a well oiled wheelchair, in this day and age? I mean really.
What happened to Avery? Did she get lost in the shuffle this week?
