Pimping at Starlight

Had a wild time last night. We were celebrating … err, something to do with end of year and X-mas stuff. Something. Not that we needed an excuse to go drinking, but it was for a guy at work who was leaving town to visit his parents in Seattle. We went to his house and had some drinks, then went to the Starlight for dancing and more drinks. Before we left his place, he yelled out “Gotta do some shooters before we go!” which was a fine idea, but he had only white rum, vodka, some kind of bitter, and peach schnapps. Me, I wasn’t keen on drinking any of these straight, but I would have picked vodka over the popular choice of schnapps. Yuck. I drank another beer just to get the peach taste out of my mouth.
Starlight was awesome, and there were ninjas and a big bearded guy dressed up in fur-lined red velvet. He kept yelling “Ho Ho Ho,” so we knew he was a pimp. Seriously. The pimp guy and the ninjas are a regular sight at Starlight on Fridays. Most memorable points (aside from the pimp and ninjas, etc.) were getting hit on (yeah, still got it), and getting caught in a drunken gang-hug by the guys from work.

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.
