The last time I spoke to him, he was still quite excited about Apistos, although I doubt he has many DC friends in Jacksonville, FL. There is still hope. As for Zadnik, I think he is getting back in the game too. He was at ACA Detroit and is a speaker at the next one. I think he went full bore for so many years that he needed a break. Funny, the Apisto scene is so different now than it was 3-4 years ago. He should have a blast getting back into it...but he seemed to be talking about Rift Lake a lot...sigh.
