I saw Blind Justice back in the day. Interesting take, and I actually remember parts of it so congrats on that much. I have to say that I at first thought you were involved with Blind Fury, and I had to adjust my expectations a bit.
I should just point out that Ricochet’s own @jameslileks was a big fan of Carnivale. I heard him discuss it in the past on a podcast.
Really enjoyed hearing about the writing process. I feel less stuck. Until I get stuck again. Thanks for bringing something other than politics to us from time to time!
