Cool house party

Went to a pretty swell party Saturday night. It was a house party — a good old fashioned house party, hosted by a friend of a friend. This was a really professional affair — they had a dedicated bar staff, and people serving hors d’oeuvres on little trays. Got to meet a bunch of new people and contacts, and got to know some casual acquaintances a little better. There were quite a few hipsters there as well — my guess is that most of KW’s trendy scene showed up. It made me a little disappointed I didn’t dress better, or dye my beard some cewl colour.
I was playing chauffeur, at least at the beginning of the night, and we managed to cram the car with R and C+C+J. We all split up when we got there (figured we could cause more damage that way) and met back up on the way out. I could have stayed a few more hours, easily. Kept the drinking to a minimum, and didn’t eat very much, despite the flowing alcohol and the abundant (and mighty tasty) snacks.
Man, I haven’t been to a house party in years. I started hosting them, just so that I could go to one. And mine never turned out as good and as big as this one. I knew hardly anybody outside of my own group. It’s got me aching to host another one, using some of the ideas this guy had. R made me promise not to go crazy and host anything big until the bar gets redone. When it’s finished, I can hold a bar-warming party. Sounds fair.

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.
