Video killed the radio star...

This was a fun, but nerve-racking first appearance on television, the inimitable AM Northwest. In the Portland media market, I followed the Backstreet Boys reunion on Good Morning America.

Fear is your only god on the radio...

I met and chatted with the NYC all-star Leonard Lopate on WNYC today. Nerves before, relief afterward. Here's the link to the podcast version if you want to hear more about the book.

Bison on the cover

Picture Hmm, the New Yorker that hit newsstands the day before Ghost Dances hit bookstores shares a cover element with my book—that iconic silhouette that once graced the tails side of a nickel. The artist, Bruce McCall, intended this image as a libertarian satire of the corporate, warm fuzzy utopia Michael Bloomberg is trying to make of the city. I prefer to see the ambiguity and weirdness of the urban buffalo on this sort-of High Line (a name, by the way, shared with a spectacular region of Montan...

A sort-of-related mini-documentary

This is some footage that didn't fit in the trailer, but a cool guy (a family friend) who drops some wisdom and picks some kale.

The Plains' media moment

The Plains' media moment

Then the same blog posted Dina Kantor's photos of Treece, Kansas, which is being relocated due to pollution. Dina is my friend Shira Kantor's sister, and they are documenting Treece together. (See the image "Ja...
