Yeah... if I were doing the flyer again now, I probably would eliminate the circle, and make the contact info larger, spanning the two columns.

Initially, when I was making this site, I wanted to have an area for people to have conversations about it, in part so I could explain all these little details. There's a lot I wanted to explain that I just couldn't fit into the site because I thought it would be too tangential.

It's not a random smudge, it's a meaningful Japanese symbol.
