Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?

The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

Life to go

Ohhhhh life on a budget.  To maximize money-saving, on Tuesday Nico and I packed up all our stuff onto a Uhaul, drove it up to Sac, packed up all of Dahlak’s belongings, and played Tetris in a couple of 7×7 pods that shall be shipped promptly to Brooklyn for our move-in next week.  And then what do you do after driving upstate in a rickety freightcar and transferring your entire life in a cage?

RECORD THE ALBUM INTRO WITH OUR REMAINING EQUIPMENT IN DAHLAK’S PARENTS’ LIVING ROOM!!

The tracks are sent to the mixer, Dahlak jetted off to Europe yesterday, and the rest of us spend the weekend in Seattle for Bumbershoot before beginning our new chapter in NYC.  Here’s to autumn.
