Friday Night Abstraction

January 8, 2005 D. H. McKee

Off

Had an early nap so I could head out to Abstract with a bunch of (younger) friends from work. They started partying early on, and were completely hosed by the time I showed up. The lineup was pretty big, but it moved quickly, and soon I was able to get inside to meet my friends. Unfortunately, I got a work page while in the lineup, but it was a fairly simple question (not an emergency), and it passed the time until I got inside.
I was a little late in getting to Abstract, so I drove, and as a result, didn’t do any drinking. So I became the ad hoc designated driver and drove the kids home afterwards. There was further partying to be done, but I declined, favouring a warm bed over slurred socializing.
One of the few things that makes Abstract palatable is being drunk and listening to fun 80’s music. Without the drinking, it becomes somewhat less palatable, and to go on any other night is probably not a good idea for me.

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.
