Like A Vagrant

Finally made it back safely, without having to cab it. Now, I’m waiting for my brother and his family to return from the grocery store. Apparently after agreeing that I’d be at their place at 6:30, they went shopping, and I’ve been stuck outside their place for the past 15 minutes now. I feel like a vagrant (and I’m getting some pretty sour looks from other tenants).
So, let’s talk about this interesting scotch I heard about from some techs at the convention. There was this rumour about a black scotch, whose name translated to “dark lake” in Gaelic. I couldn’t find many references to this Loch Dhu on the Web, but just enough to keep the rumour alive.
Well, I found a bottle of this, if you can believe it. There’s a bottle for sale at the House of Edgar (it’s a Scottish shop) in San Francisco. They’re asking $500 for it — not because it’s a particularly good scotch, but it’s because all bottles were recalled and ordered destroyed. Apparently the distiller broke the rules for making scotch whiskey, and continuously re-charred the casks to make the colour as dark as possible. Also, they added a good deal of caramel colour to the whiskey.
So you’re not likely to find any Loch Dhu out there, and if you do, it’ll be really expensive.

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.
