Wineries and Gromit

Went on a winery tour in the Niagara region yesterday. Not exactly a great day for a trip around the Golden Horseshoe — quite rainy — but we had a lot of fun during the trip. We visited several wineries, attended a seminar on wine-making, got a pleasant buzz, and bought several bottles of wine for later. We had a DD driving us around so we bought him dinner back in Kitchener.
We met up with a bunch of friends at the Three Kretans, and then later met up with C, C, and J at the Frederick Twin cinema for the latest Wallace and Gromit film. It was a fun film, clever and funny, full of dry British humour. It was a full-length film, but easily as funny as the previous W&G films, and it never seemed slow at all.
After the film, we headed for the Timmies at Frederick and Lancaster to discuss the film as well as a variety of topics. We drank coffee, drew pictures, made origami, and had a lot of fun being sociable.
I am now looking forward to being just a little anti-social today, perhaps working on my garage and getting the door finished up. Yesterday was perhaps a little *too* social. I have to work myself up to a day like that.

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.
