A few Sunday’s back I listened to Jodeci’s “All My Life” with Nicholas Peterson and we both sang along. It was sublime. And then the weekend following, four of us packed into a car and drove into Wisconsin, a land of at least milk and bratwurst but I can’t speak for honey. Please note that my yellow hat reads, “Rap Hurts,” and that I inherited it from a rapper from Minnesota who has no idea that I inherited it.

Well, I have done it. I’ve completed my first ever iMovie with footage from my Panasonic Lumix handheld camera thing, a sleek black camera I bought for the sole fact that the Crailtap guys told me to, meaning I fell prey to celebrity endorsement, the simplest and most transparent of all advertising ploys. Who cares.
Here’s the video enjoy it please!

Re: Dude Life, the always reliable Pretty Blog provides explanation here, but Ryan’s quote bears repeating:
The focus of Dude Life is just dudes who are into stuff, whatever that stuff may be. Primarily, it is skateboarding, babes, tacos, hot dogs, rock and roll, jobs without bosses, beers, road trips, art, and buddies.
Exactly, Ryan. That’s exactly right.
I mean sorry! Sorry! Been working, busy writing and teaching and traveling and being as complete and whole a person I can manage. Leaves holes in the blog though, don’t it?
Here’s something: a recording from last week’s reading (mine) at the Parlor Reading Series, there in the Busch and pretzeled home of Green Lantern Press. Many thanks to all who came and heard me read for thirty minutes from my novel in progress, especially the skateboarders who don’t normally frequent readings. It was a rad night, totally and completely satisfying. The podcast itself can be found right stinking here.
And for those of you with eyes, here’s a video of the flashback section of the reading (that’s a Busch burp there at 0:33, if you’re curious).
Several months ago I invited some friends to make trailers for The Slide. The first one comes from the genius behind RCP Ringtones and the outrageously rad The Rising Storm. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m pleased to present a video by Mr. Brendan McGrath. Please enjoy.
