Brisbane at night

Off

The place really picked up last night as we went out on the town. Stopped in at an open-air bistro/bar and got a couple of pints and some thai noodles in broth. I was a little surprised that the weather was still pretty warm, even though it’s supposed to be “winter” and “cold”.

The crowd really increased in general attractiveness since the afternoon. Not that Australians are generally striking in any way (no offence intended to any Aussies), but this crowd was much more styling, since it was evening. People in suits and ties, women all “tarted-up” etc….

One really interesting thing was that I saw my exact double last night. He was eating at the same cafe as we were. Weird weird weird… he even had glasses and a goatee similar to mine. One thing though, he was a complete bloke, and while I was lounging in my hawaiian shirt and jeans, he was all decked out in sports gear: from the ball cap with team logo on it, to his Nike cross-trainers and white track pants. Strange-looking fellow, he was.

Not much time left on this kiosk. Going to look for a book to read on the flight home, and maybe pick up a few other neat things before I get outta here. Cheers.

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.
