Missing Las Vegas?

Off

OK, to be absolutely honest, I want to go back to Las Vegas sometime soon. I suppose this makes no sense, given my previous posts, and my general lack of enthusiasm in the first place, but I guess it’s kind of like eating at McDonald’s … You’re hungry, so you go to McDonald’s. You eat a ton of “food” there, but just get a heavy feeling in your stomach — you’re not full, but you’re no longer hungry. Later (about 20min later) you become ravenous for more food. So you go back to McDonalds, eat again … and you eventually starve. You know the routine.

Granted, there were some pretty cool shows in Vegas which I wasn’t able to see (Penn and Teller, Blue Man Group, etc.). But it’s much worse than that … I somehow crave more shiny useless crap. Maybe I’ll take a side trip to Niagara Falls later this month. That should help out.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
