Art All Night All Done

Saturday and Sunday were pretty busy for me, as it was Art All Night in Pittsburgh. I checked my “art” in (I goofed the process up a few times.

Art All Night, Falling Out My Pants

I registered to be a part of Art All Night in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh. I won’t go into details about what it is, but basically anyone can submit a piece of art for it.

I have a recent post over at Noisecreep on a video of a death metal version of Louis Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World”. It’s probably one of the only pop standards I really like, especially the elegance of the lyrics (“elegance” in the sense but “brief but meaningful”). My favorite line is the “dark, sacred Louis Armstrong Goes Death Metal

He Is Not Here

Come and see the place where he lay. -Matthew 28:6 I thought about writing another scripture-based story, like how I did with A Native’s Story, but the idea came to me about ten minutes ago and it’s already Easter. Maybe next year, if someone cares enough to remind me. EDIT on 4/5: My conscience/muse has He Is Not Here
