Last year, the good folks at Atlas + Alice were awesome enough to publish an essay of mine called “Out for Blood (or Air, or Whatever).” It’s about my first night taking a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class and how my face got just a teency, weency bit fucked up from the experience. This year, Benjamin Woodard (Atlas + Alice’s Editor-in-Chief) and Lindsey Danis (their CNF editor) were even more awesome, and they nominated the essay for inclusion in the Best of the Net anthology, for which I’ll be forever grateful.
