Fact: I drew this comic before @rachelfershleiser convinced me to follow @stephinbishkek‘s new Tumblr about living in Kyrgyzstan, which means I had not yet seen this post.

And yet, here we are.

I think there are a lot of different directions it could go in the next five years. And, as a nonprofit, a lot depends on funding, staffing, and resources. But, what’s important to me is that the festival is highly and carefully curated each year. Since we celebrate new titles, we’re confined to what is published in a given year and, of course, who’s available. So, I want to keep pushing what it means to have hundreds of the best and most articulate thinkers in the country all in one place and what we can do with that to engage and inspire more and more attendees.
