May 10th, 2025 All my love to everyone who came to the Weirdos Art Show today. I had a lovely time. As an artist, I’ve always asked myself: could I fill a room? I was pleasantly surprised by the answers I found. I appreciate the shared coffee, baked goods and excellent conversation, and if weContinue reading “Weirdos Art Show!”

This Is 40
May 1st, 2025 It’s my birthday today. I love my birthday. I’m awful like that. I also believe that you should cherish celebrating each one, because there will come a point in time when you cannot. That’s dark, but it’s my birthday. So let’s face facts: I’m supposed to be dead. I did all theContinue reading “This Is 40”
Knife-work
November 19th, 2024 I work in an industry where people often complain on both sides of the table, and live in a world where that’s true at least a hundred times more, but I had two experiences last week in that work, in this world, that were wonderful, and I’m just going to write aboutContinue reading “Knife-work”
Twin Cities Con 2024
November 10th, 2024 It’s been said by people way smarter than I am that we should “find community” this week and be with each other. Twin Cities Con couldn’t have happened at a better time. (A special thank you to the peerless TCC gang who make this show one of my favorite weekends of theContinue reading “Twin Cities Con 2024”

FOB!!
April 8th, 2024 I have actually lost count of how many times I’ve seen Fall Out Boy live, but I know when I became a diehard fan: 2005, the year that the album From Under The Cork Tree was released. Like I said in a previous post, FOB is one of the precious few thingsContinue reading “FOB!!”

Flip: I Got Dosed By You
October 28th, 2023 I always talk about knowing how a story ends before I start writing it, and of course this story ends the way all our stories end, with loss. It’s funny that we don’t talk about loss as much as we should, because it’s always a good time to talk about loss. WhenContinue reading “Flip: I Got Dosed By You”

The Weirdos, Part IV: The Blue-Ringer
August 24th, 2023 George Michael sang, “I gotta have faith,” and, God, does the Blue-Ringer ever. Moe Crawford is the odd duck in a group full of strange fowl. He’s upbeat, infectiously positive, even in the face of the worst news; his unshakable belief in God keeps him going; he generally has his shit togetherContinue reading “The Weirdos, Part IV: The Blue-Ringer”
