Though it feels like Sunday night, it’s now Monday morning and, thus, I can safely say that “tonight’s show” on KDHX will feature Anna Roland and friends, discussing and playing in equal measure. That’s all set for 88.1 fm at 7:30 cst. Folk music, bike tours, politics, conversation and such.

… then I’d be tied with Steven L. Patterson! Just keeding.

If I had six more blogs, I mention the Kick Ass Awards ceremony tonight, six more times. But I just have this one. And that other one, the one with more info on the Kick Ass Awards ceremony tonight.

See you, perhaps?

New album, “See You on the Other Side,” due Dec. 6.

Yes.

What do I do to avoid distraction until then?

I’m been drafted into KDHX service this Thursday evening, between 7-8 p.m., sitting at the controls for this week’s edition of “Literature for the Halibut.” It’ll be a night for half the town’s poets to be found in action, as detailed over at 52nd City. If you listen, I’ll promise to not share my innermost feelings in the form of free-verse.

So I was running around this evening, taking some night shots, including the compositionally imprecise pic accompanying this entry, a shot of construction from the Gaslight Square project in midtown. Thing is, I’m trying to be a bit more bold, in shooting both people and places. That kinda goal’s gotta be weighed out against common sense, I’m learning quickly.

Since I was a couple blocks from Gaslight, I dropped by and snapped one pic, before hearing some distinct rustling in the area around/behind this little earth-mover. What followed was that moment of distinct “presence,” when you realize someone’s nearer than you’d like them to be. I thought I’d grab at least one more snap, this off-centered one, before hearing the distinct sound of a bottle being thrown, and landing with a mild, but distinct breakage.

It was the last photo of the evening, bye-bye!

There’s a title I’ve ever written before.

The lads are this week’s Big Picture:

If you listen to the audio commentary, you’ll hear that the ball was added with Photoshop. Crazy!

Technology does not smile upon me. It’s more of a sneer, really.

Nonetheless, I have added myself – or at the least the guise of AkitaSan – to the ranks of Flickr photographers. Soon, I will add a “badge” to the right side of the page, with three, cute, little pics. The hours spent yesterday on this task will surely be rewarded soon with a successful import of that “badge.” I’m certain of it.

In the meantime, there’s that one lone photo to look at Flickr.

Ah, technology. My bane, my nemesis, my enemy. Why must you confound me at every turn?

Lots of new content over at 52ndcity.com. If you’ve not been by, please visit. Tomorrow, look for an interview with Davy Rothbart of Found Magazine, who’ll be appearing tonight at Mad Art Gallery, featuring live music and readings, starting at 8 p.m.

Here’s a pic of Blake Brokaw, which’ll run with my interview with him in the next issue of Playback STL. After a day of fiddling with PictureProject – mostly unsuccessfully – I had to share with… somebody. Hope I’m not breaking a PBSTL rule by posting this. Alas.

As my grandfather used to say, even the blind squirrel can find a nut. Albeit with a fair bit of work, on occasion.

Got a chance to co-interview Larry Matysik tonight, discussing his days as a principal in the “Wrestling at the Chase” operation, both as a booker and TV announcer. His book, simply called “Wrestling at the Chase,” is a fun, quick read, though it’s quite well-done by Matysik, who has training as a journalist and knows how to spin a tale.

Anyway, if the show meant anything to you growing up, catch the streaming audio version at kdhx.org.

(Note: there’s an unedited, 60-hour version of the old shows that Matysik is offering to superfans. I have a bad feeling I know someone who’s about to invest in this.)
