the obnoxious guest


last week i visited Once Upon a Crime in Minneapolis to hear Anthony Neil Smith read from The Drummer. (What a great cover!) The book both captures and pays tribute to a fascinating and weird period of rock history when the spectacle often overshadowed the music.

Neil posted about his visit here:

crimedog
and posted photos. it was neil's booksigning, not mine. but guess who's in 2 out of 3 of photos? front and center?

but that's enough about me, let's talk about me.

heh

top photo: chris everheart and gary bush -- both have fantastic stories in Twin Cities Noir.

In every pic I see of you, you look a little different. The one thing I can count on being the same is the awesome red. =D

Mmm...redheads. Look, I just made Anne blush.

Okay, back to work.
