All hail the DadLabs in-house funny man, Owen Egerton, for his most recent recognition! The Austin Chronicle has published it annual “Best Of” issue and Our Own Little Owen (OOLO) made the list. And not just for the sense of humor so often on display here at the DL, but for his more serious and literary side. Owen was recognized as “Best Local Author/Poet.” Here’s a link. Oops. Uh, actually here.
In case you would like to judge Owen’s literary talent for yourself you can head over the Amazon (or your locally owned, non-conglomerate bookshop) and pick up a copy of his amazing collection of short stories, How Best to Avoid Dying. This guy can do it all. Except curling. He’s very awkward on the ice in general. And his haiku work could use a little shoring up. Other than that.
