Oh look! I wrote a thing! Plus a sketchy sketch →
The lovely people at SF Signal ask the SciFi/Fantasy community a question and publish the answers. I participated this last time, and you can read it here. I would highly recommend reading the super smart people who answered, especially Chuck Wendig, who is a vulgarity-laden drunken master of words and wisdom. He scares me a&

Bryan Corbin’s supporters have been sporting white ribbons symbolizing their belief that comedians should have carte blanche to say whatever they want about rape and not have anyone respond negatively. Popular 27 year old comedian Bryan Corbin has been hailed a rising star of the comedy…

You are officially spoiled if you read below, NO COMPLAINTS!
Up front I will say I enjoyed this latest Star Trek movie a lot. It was super noisy, but enjoyable, beautifully executed, and I particularly like some of the secondary characters, Spock was excellent, etc etc. I just want to share an…

Drinking & Drawing: Three Floyds edition →
There is a brewery in Indiana called Three Floyds that makes some fine beer. They’re off the first exit, so it’s close enough to drive out on a weekend, have some tasty beverages and food, then drive back with a case of Zombie Dust in the back. In addition to being fantastic brewers, they also&

Dream: My family and I checked into a hotel...
My family and I checked into a hotel. It was fantastic beyond imagining, trapeze artists swinging from ceilings so high above they tore through clouds as they leapt for the next swing, lions held only by thin golden chains roaring as we passed. Las Vegas on steroids and fairy dust. I didn’t recognize any of the people I knew were my family but one. Eliza and I had gone to high school...

Here’s the fucking thing
I’ve heard/seen several people mention how the Steubenville case should remind us all to speak to our daughters about parties and drinking.

And sometimes I’m completely obnoxious and draw at concerts. If you’ve seen a dark haired chick balancing her sketchbook at the back of the crowd and wondered how in the hell she can draw in the dark - that was probably me.
