Hotel Kabuki

Made it to San Francisco safely. My brother came down and picked me up after all. His son had a bit of a runny nose, so he kept him home for the day — by “home”, he meant driving down to San Jose to pick up his uncle and then walk all around Japan Town looking at shops. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. Glad to be up here and visiting with family. My nephew is cute and incredibly hyper. I gave him a toy foam cow from Tucows and a ball that lights up when you hit it against a hard surface. My brother’s going to hate me.
We dined at a great Japanese restaurant (one of 50 — seriously, there’s something like 8 restaurants adjacent to the hotel in the Miyako Mall). Unfortunately, we were that typical party with a small child who disrupts everyone else’s dinner. For that, I’m truly sorry.
Tomorrow, I’m going to eat breakfast on Fillmore St. and surf the web in about a dozen coffee shops.
The room at the Miyako (now called the Hotel Kabuki) is pretty fantastic. If it weren’t for the noise on the street, lack of a stocked mini-bar, and no bath robes, it would be the perfect hotel room. Some pics follow:

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.
