Rainy Day Moroccan Food

Off

It was really pouring out this morning, so I headed to 1842 to grab an espresso and dig into this Carl Hiaasen book I’ve been reading. Snapped a picture of my car in front of the Zen Gardens sign.

The weekend was pretty fun. We went to the Sultan’s Tent for some Moroccan food on Sat. and walked to Ontario Place for the last installment of the Symphony of Fire. I ate at the Sultan’s Tent once before, when it was in Yorkville, and they seem to have fixed it up a bit since they moved — made it seem a little classier, a little more like a dinner theatre. If you’re booked for the late bellydancing show, you wait in the Moroccan-styled bar up front until a table becomes available. The tables are laid out in small groups of 4 or 5 per room. When the show starts, they draw the curtains (the “walls” of the room) so that you can get a good view of the dancer. Food was delicious, and there were numerous vegetarian options.
The Symphony of Fire was cool. We were pretty far away from where it was taking place, but the vantage point gave us a good view of the fireworks. We were too far away to really hear the music, but I’m pretty sure I heard Metallica in there just after the 1812 Overture.

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.
