In 2 weeks, it’ll be ten years since the first “Vulgarthon”.

Man, I feel old.

Check out this nearly-decade-old article on things that never really came to pass (like the View Askew Institute).

Ah, youth; where have you gone?

It’s neat looking back at articles like this, and also a fine opportunity to advertise our own News Askew archives. While there’s still some cleanup left to do on the massive archive of news we have here from the transition to the new software, you can indeed see we had the text of this sucker posted back in January of 1998. Very cool to see Ming’s stylized piece of this up with all the photos after all these years. Don’t forget, our archive search is speedier than ever and can also find you those tidbits from the past you might be looking to dig up!

Check our our own coverage of the first Vulgarthon as well, complete with our own photos and observations from that fantastic day.
