A birthday message from the desk of Adam Schirling

wow, it has been quite the year.

With the one year anniversary of Drunken Absurdity next month, I thought I would go over some facts:

*Drunken Absurdity averages 400 unique visitors a day

*We have had 56 featured writers & poets, some of whom are the most well recognized names in AltLit

*We sold a little over 400 dollars worth of merchandise, our 1st merch order, in 3 weeks last month

* This site, which is my personal blog and not Drunken Absurdity, has a little under 70,000 views from appx. 46,000 unique visitors. Once again, just my personal blog which I could really give a fuck if people read or not, and exists for my sole amusement.

*By end of summer, we will be fully converted to print magazine, first quarterly then monthly, and will have our 1st short film out, as well as our 1st anthology.

And yet with all this awesome truth, some people still wish to attack our little humble experiment. And I welcome their chastising and heckling, it it music to my ears. Everytime you click on our URL, even if it is to talk shit, it strengthens and empowers us. I am generally amused people would think that some heckling would bother me; I have pissed off enough people in my life to populate a small nation and am quite proud of that. The list is long yet distinguished, like my dick. As I have stated before, if there is someone who would like to comment on what I do, for positive or negative my email is drunkenabsurdity@gmail.com

Thanks for the great first year of Drunken Absurdity, and I look forward to seeing you all, supporters and hecklers included, in the upcoming year. Keep up all the fan mail, support, and submissions.
