brief update number one (volume one: issue three)

Today is a great day in the history of Everyday Yeah. In a way I am reminded of this comic. Many may not remember the "White Man" review, but it seems we've attracted the attention of the author who left the following comment: "The title of my book is Whiteman, not White Man. The cover of the book is by Ouattara Watts, who belongs to the Senoufo tribe of Ivory Coast, which borders the Worodougou tribe described in the book. Watts was discovered by the late Basquiat and brought to New York City in the 80's shortly before he (Basquiat) succumbed to AIDS. Watts continues to paint in New York and contributed the cover for Whiteman gratis. Good luck, Tony" It's nice to see our screw ups are generating attention, not to mention the review itself. I doubt he was pleased. Oh well. Many may be curious why we've chosen not to change the title to its correct form. The truth is, we feel it reflects better on the site to maintain that air of superiority through our idiocy. Also, be sure to check out Alex Butzbach's 'The Battle for Gainsborough Field'. It's part of the new civil war stories series. And last, Everyday Yeah had it's 1000th visitor.

I can do you one better

The (alleged) author of a book I hadn't even reviewed yet -- had only made some comment that any firm opinion on its quality was still up in the air, contingent on a "quick" reread -- objected to my speedy intentions and told me not to bother for I would learn nothing. As a bonus he also scolded me for my flippant attitude about my ignorance of "Gilgamesh".

it really is too bad when people get uptight about such things

...For what it's worth Mr. Tony D'Souza has been very cool about the review and the mishaps.
