Montreal

Off

Spent the weekend in Montreal (only a 7 hour drive!) and hung out with some friends there. Got to play my new Trivial Pursuit: Pop Culture Edition. Yah, I know — go all the way to La Belle Province, and play Trivial Pursuit. We hit the town a little later, and got to see many a spectacular restaurant, and got to butcher the French language in a way fitting of all Canadian anglophones.
Not too bad really, if anyone started giving me problems, I’d just yell out: “I’m an American, dammit! You can’t treat me this way!” Either that, or “Hey Buddy, how ya get to Yonge St.?”
We did all the usual stuff: Drove around the Big “O”, ate poutine (I opted out), ate ribs at the Bar-B Barbeque (I had a salad), bought bagels, checked out the Forum, and walked up and down Rue Ste-Denis and Rue Ste-Catherine, hitting all the coffee and head shops.

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.
