My buddy Austin and I find movies for each other. Or we used to. Back when we actually had time to do things like watch movies and then share them with each other.
(The best moment is when, on the same day, we each picked out Donnie Darko for the other one. Unbeknownst to the other. [...]
It’s Sunday. Day Four of my Western Road Trip.
I won’t lie. I’m a bit worn out right now. I’ve already logged 350 driving miles (not counting the 60 mile trip to the airport) and four hours of flight time. I’m ready to relax, something that won’t happen until tomorrow at the earliest.
This is a gauntlet, [...]
Out there in the spotlight/You’re a million miles away
Every ounce of energy/You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body/Like the music that you play
Later in the evening/As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers/Ringin’ in your head
You smoke the day’s last cigarette,/Rememberin’ what she said
***
I should start by [...]
Here’s the map of places I regularly hang during the South by Southwest Interactive and Music conferences. I’m not a big party-goer. Mostly I hang outside, dragging attendees away from the hustle and bustle.

I spent the last few days at Berea College, digging through the Appalachian Feuds special collections. There was some good information there. It’s mostly filler material, the backdrop information for the story. But I have 200 pages of material coming to me.
The drive down was spectacular. While some folks complain about the flatlands of Indiana, [...]
I’m back home in Muncie, sitting at my familiar desk awaiting the start of another week. My mind is elsewhere, though. Enjoying the last few thoughts of the Bay Area before I re-double my efforts here. Before I start on The Plan. Before.
I do love the majestic nature of the Bay Area. For all its [...]
I am lucky.
I flew to San Francisco on the first leg of the Year of Friends. There were few expectations. Just some plans. A small notion of what I’d hoped to find. It’s hard to track people down in their lives. People have a habit of getting lost.
Or so I thought.
It’s been my experience that [...]
I don’t want to say my friends are badass, but Jessie and Rob have one of only 1,000 of these cars in service in the world. The Tesla is a new generation of electric car.
Jessie produced the film Who Killed the Electric Car? and the forthcoming sequel (I didn’t know documentaries had sequels), Revenge of [...]
Twelve years.
I try not to think of time anymore because it seems to be stretching out further and further, pulling me away from the moments when the important events in my life happened. I can’t escape the reality, though, that it’s been twelve years since I met the women I’m flying to San Francisco to [...]
From the Boulder Bookstore:
Across town we visited The Laughing Goat. I totally dug the place, but if you know me, you’ll get a kick out of this:
