Beer Day in Vic Park!

Went to the (ribfest and) craft brewing extravaganza at Victoria Park this weekend. Pretty delicious beers there, and I drank my fill without getting trashed. Something to be said for charging a buck for a tiny little juice glass of beer. Well, the variety was amazing, and that more than made up for the whole trip. Not too bad of a day, weather-wize. Sat out in the sun for what seemed like hours and avoided getting sunburnt. I avoided eating anything there, since everything was drenched in meat fat, probably including the corn-on-the-cob and roasted yams. Went across the street to the Vic Park pavilion with the Leader, and grabbed a plate of yummy fries. Yes, beer and fries. The Fatkins^tm diet.
A bunch of us met up at my place, and threw together an ad hoc BBQ, where we resumed drinking, to a much civilized end, and an early evening. The unfortunate part was that I had a beer token left over. It has “no cash value” printed on the side of this coin of undetermined metal, so I’m unlikely to get a fair price at the local pawn shop.
Actually, this coin reminds me a bit of myself — no cash value. At least, not right now. I’m totally tapped out after all the little (and big) purchases for the house.

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.
