Sorry I haven't filled these digital pages with my half-coherent, fatalistic ramblings in a while. It's no excuse, but perhaps if I offer an explanation, it will be a balm for the sting of betrayal you must feel. The main reason I haven't updated is that it has been a busy week. I haven't had a "busy week" in months, so I welcome the activity. It keeps my brain from contemplating the futility of our mortal existence.
The biggest thing I'm doing this week is covering the I am 8 bit art show for none other than the premier adult cartoon website, adultswim.com. I don't usually say positive things, but I'm enjoying this. Last night was the first night and, regardless of what you think about the theme of the art show, there was a lot of well-crafted works of art on display. And I got to talk to a number of rather talented and creative people.
One of the artists happened to be a Reedie, as well. At the beginning of the night, we huddled together in a socially awkward enclave at the back of the gallery as he explained to me the technical process he went through in hacking the Xbox Kinect for his project. It was actually a pretty neat idea. You'll have to wait for the article to read more about it, though.
Whew! That's enough positivity for a month. I'll be submitting my piece to the Adult Swim people some time next week, so I'll be sure to let you know once it's up on the site.
I'm also juggling my Lookout responsibilities this week, which, considering how slow the summer has been, are relatively a lot (that means I have like two stories to write).
I'm heading back to the gallery tonight to see the crowds, take pictures and interview the thronging masses. I have a pocket full of business cards from last night, so now I'm going to play Match the Card with the Hazy and Vague Memory of a Shadowy Face game!
Time to send some "thank you" e-mails.
To tide your hungry souls over until the next time I can write something substantive, here are some pictures I've taken over the past couple of days with the super camera in my possession.
