2018 Long Beach Christmas Dice Party.

@derrickbrownpoetry made one of the mystery envelopes an Awkward Hug With Buddy Wakefield. @dmblbc won it. Dreams do come true, usually for the person winning the prize.

Seriously though

@derrickbrownpoetry just put out this new video of a piece he wrote in 2009 for his best Buddy.

Self-Portrait

November 17, 2018

This piece felt too severe most days so I only read it out about five or six times, but I just decidedly decided how much I like it. Self-Portrait (2011). Been digging through the old stuff as I set to finish the new book.

 

Farmly Film Fest

November 12, 2018

I am absolutely not humbled to tell you that @jamiedewolf and I made a short film called Farmly.

Everyone in it are members of my family. They nailed it.

We’re so far accepted to two of the 15 film fests we submitted to last week.

We got a response from the founder of Movies & Meaning:

Farmly is a bit of a wonder, I have to say. I’ve seen thousands of films, and yours stands out as one in which the rawness of the words is matched by the truth of the images; the final shot in particular makes it a cut above. It also accomplished a rare thing – being both a confrontation and an invitation.





I can’t show it til next year and feel like a kid in a toy store not allowed to spend his money.

@davidodowda did the music and @inkymole did the titling and I’m doing thanks to the max.

Just wanted to be prematurely announcy.
