Party Hardy with the LCBO

Pretty schway party last night – managed to cram over 15 people into my TV room (the room where if I lie down on the floor, I can touch opposite walls). Got everybody drinking pineapple drinks, and eating fake satay chicken. No one was surprised it wasn’t chicken (are they ever?) but everyone thought it deserved notice for trying. I doused everyone with cheesy surf tunes, and even got them to limbo to Harry Belafonte. All in all, a nice time was had. I didn’t even manage to get drop-down drunk, thanks to a scary pamphlet from the LCBO on how to properly entertain at parties… you’d think a place that sold liquor would be a little less critical of drinking, especially in one of their advertisement pamphlets.
I do have to admit, the “Host” pamphlet from the LCBO is pretty useful. It’s sort of a Party-101 set of lessons for the would-be host. In addition to reminding the host that they’re responsible for the acts of their guests (even after they leave), it has great suggestions for what kinds of liquor to stock the bar with, as well as the ratio of different spirits to stock, as well as how much the average guest will consume, and how to modify this amount by the types of foods you server. Pretty crafty.

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.
