I met with my good friend Solmyr, onetime leader of my old guild BBZ, and future president of The Netherlands. Solmyr's feedback is a large part of why Xan and Ink is (in my mind at least) an A book instead of a B book. Literally the best beta reader feedback I have ever gotten on a manuscript. We had a great dinner in Rembrandt Square and discussed my plans to immigrate to Holland once Trump wins the 2016 elections. Then we recalled such good times as stealing instances, exploiting AQ, kiting Nefarien to Vael's room, my ruinous multibox, and other indelible memories of nerdings past. We also poured one out for our departed homeboy OBSCENITOR.

Then it was on to Deutschland.
