Best of Decade: Domestic People & Drunk Irish Folk Songs.

Domestic People… are the perfect subject matter for creating. Stop & listen to them talk in public somewhere about their kids & grocery list items. They’re far more interesting from a distance & less likely to believe or stay interested in up close. Continue reading

Best of Decade: Intro…

A Decade-End Roast.

Part 1:  Imagine this, a decade end dinner party where I invite all of my fake facebook friends, some naughty clients & people with vowels on the end of their last names who think I’m foolishly related to them.
