&lt;B&gt;1 June 2009&lt;/B&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It's back to an every-other-Monday schedule for updates now, as I enter the home stretch for sending 
&lt;a href=birds.htm&gt;Renaming of the Birds&lt;/A&gt; out to agents and publishers.  I can't thank you all enough for reading and 
enjoying what I do, for writing your lovely emails, and for helping BF reach new audiences through blogs and whatnots. 
Warms a guy's heart, it does. &lt;P&gt;

Road-weary Buttercup Festival reader Eric opens negotiations with Dali, who looks only too willing to swap his 
dolphin hat for a fine &lt;a href=http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&amp;Store_Code=TO&amp;Category_Code=BF&gt;Cosmic T&lt;/a&gt;. It should be noted that, while all the photos I’ve been sent are of guys wearing 
the male/unisex variety of shirt, there are 4 ladies sizes as well. &lt;P&gt;

&lt;B&gt;20 April 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Now that the weather's turning fine and warm, this might be the perfect time to buy a quality 
&lt;a href=http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&amp;Store_Code=TO&amp;Category_Code=BF&gt;Buttercup Festival shirt&lt;/a&gt;. 
Printed on soft, organic cotton, they will feel good on the outside of you, &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; on the inside. Don't eat them, 
that's not what I mean.

T-minus 9 days until the completion of my 30th orbit of the sun. Oh man. &lt;P&gt;

You can find 
&lt;a href=http://www.saltpublishing.com/horizon/issues/02/text/troupes_david.htm&gt;four of my poems&lt;/a&gt; 
in the new online edition of 
&lt;a href=http://www.saltpublishing.com/horizon/index.htm&gt;Horizon Review&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;P&gt;

&lt;B&gt;9 March 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;

I'm delighted to say that my first full collection of poetry will be released in September from 
&lt;a href=http://www.tworavenspress.com/&gt;Two Ravens Press&lt;/a&gt;. The book will be called &lt;i&gt;Parsimony&lt;/i&gt;: there’s a cover and 
some blurby information way down at the bottom of their 
&lt;a href=http://www.tworavenspress.com/HTML%20Pages/Forthcoming%20titles.htm&gt;forthcoming for 2009&lt;/a&gt; page. 
(It's still worth your while to pick up the 
&lt;a href=http://www.knuckerpress.com/thescarecrow_details.asp&gt;Scarecrow&lt;/A&gt; pamphlet, if you're interested in the poetry, as 
this sequence isn't being collected into &lt;i&gt;Parsimony&lt;/i&gt;.) 
&lt;P&gt;
My nose continues to scrape off against the grindstone on &lt;i&gt;Renaming of the Birds&lt;/i&gt;. I’ll try to have an extra BF strip 
or two in the near future, as they make pretty good warm-ups for the bird stuff.

&lt;B&gt;23 February 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;

We're doing three updates this week, Mon-Wed-Fri. 
&lt;P&gt;
I've got a couple BF-related YouTube links to share with you. 
&lt;A HREF=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaDlcJLDO-o&gt;This one&lt;/a&gt; comes from David Rutter, who 
got together with his friends, took a little bit of Buttercup Festival and a lot of xkcd, and 
whipped themselves up a prize-winning student film. 
&lt;A href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FguejkYA7qU&gt;This one&lt;/A&gt; my mom found a while ago, an 
animated short based on an old Series 1 strip. &lt;P&gt;
The complete user-unfriendliness of my archive is attested by the fact that I can't bring 
myself to track down the relevant strips and provide links.
