Stormking Detail
Massive art for one’s birthday… Stormking thrills.
On Speed Dating and the Supersecret Spy
So it’s the day before my 30th birthday and the unflappable Todd Zuniga of Opium Magazine informs me I’ve got another story up. It’s the one I read/performed at the Opium reading a month ago… and it is also a hyperbolic seed of the screenplay I’m halfway through writing.
You can read it here — http://www.opiummagazine.com/storysloanspy041906.html — also, I think a podcast version is in the offing soon as well.
And Home Again
Back in New York a day and a half later, with my visiting brother, wondering where the warm weather went.
Wreck of the Antilla
This is what it looks like below the surface.
Red Sail Snorkel
The sail of the boat that took me to the Antilla, the second-largest shipwreck in the Caribbean – a WWII German freighter scuttled in shallow waters, now a vast and impossibly eerie reef.
