Starlight de Soleil

Off

Hung out at the Starlight last night. Pretty kewl time. DJ Charless was spinning disco tunes, and everybody (mostly University chicks — lots of them) was getting down. There was a bit of a mix-up earlier, so I ended up being the designated driver for the night — only cranberry juice and sodas all night. Too bad — I was getting geared up for a night of some good drinking.
Afterwards, for some inexplicable reason, we all went (girlfriends in tow) to Roxanne’s — a Waterloo strip-clup. These aren’t my thing, and I find nothing sexy about being in a club with a bunch of white trash thugs (men and women), watching women strip and dance around brass poles to distorted blaring, tinny music, and being narrated by a loud foul-mouthed MC. Have to say, though I was quite impressed by the athleticism of the dancers — kind of like a dirty version of Cirque de Soleil. Or some kind of obscene Olympic gymnastic event. Still pretty cool — but just not very sexy, especially not for a designated driver.

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.
