Manos, the rock opera of fate!

Oh my god, was this real? It looks awesome! I came across it looking for pictures of Torgo on Google images. OK, I was doing a blog project, and needed a picture of Torgo. Nothing weird or anything.

I can tell you that it was indeed real. I am actually one of the co-creators and the show was a huge cult hit. We did a different ending every night, a bunch of them are up on youtube. You can also order a copy of the dvd through our website nmtchicago.org. Thanks for finding us!

Excellent news. You should get up into Toronto with that show. Since the success of the “Evil Dead: The Musical” (the longest running Canadian production in Toronto history), you may have a big audience.

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.
