Bookstore friend Shon Mackfessel dodges Iranian jail thanks to cold!

You know the story of the Americans who were nabbed hiking across the Iran/Iraq border? Part of that story is that one guy got sick and didn't go on the hike. His name is Shon Meckfessel and he is a Sacto guy. We've known him for years. He was member of Cake early on and after that went traveling around wartime/postwar Yugoslavia and wrote a book about it called Suffled How it Gush. Great guy! Lucky guy! We're glad he got that cold!
