So, Kuso Vinyl’s new stuff didn’t show up on time for NYCC, which is something of a major bummer – but that’s okay! Weekend raffles and general amicability propelled the booth throughout the weekend. I happened to be there at the booth while Jure Gavran’s Criminal Billy was raffled off to this lucky young lady. While there [...]
