Ah, drinking

Got to do some drinking tonight. Boy, was it ever a week for beer (the cause of and solution to all of life’s problems). Went with J to the Barley Works pub on Princess and we split a pitcher and a plate of nachos. The one thing that amazes me about that place is the number of TVs — both CRT and projection screens. I was a little surprised to see a small swatch of actual wall in between a couple of the screens. It appeared to be made of exposed brick. Even the coffee shop downstairs (1842) has a TV.
In an interesting twist, the annoying customer that has been plaguing my dreams and threatening my sanity ended up losing his customer. Ah, well, c’est la vie, non? It certainly wasn’t through my doing, but here’s a bit of advice. If you constantly (I mean from day one) complain that you’ll lose your customer if they don’t get proper support, one or two things are going to happen: a) the people who support you will likely begin to want you to lose your customer, and b) you will lose your customer.

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.
