congrats on your 5 year milestone and all the success you’ve had since you first pitched Mcsweeney’s! Proud to call you my teacher

Super cool piece! Hoping that in a few years I’ll be able to look back on my first McSweeny’s rejection in a similar way!

Thanks Andrew, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
