Some Things I've Been Forgetting

First:

Trevor was at work last month, minding his own business, when he received a phone call from a fellow named Lucas, an artist and writer of the Meaning In Art. Lucas asked Trevor a few questions, and, for being such a helpful chap, Trevor got quoted in this piece! (scroll about halfway down the page) We were very excited about this, and even more excited that Trevor was called a "nice gentleman." Of course we know he's a nice gentleman, but it's always lovely when someone else recognizes it.

Second:

Trevor and I were home a few weeks ago, and we noticed some odd stirrings in the alley behind our building. For those of you who have never been to our place, or those who have never been in our bedroom (probably many of you have been to our house but not in our bedroom. too bad.), just outside of our bedroom window is an alley we share with a charter high school and a church rectory. Not bad neighbors. But, since we're also at street level on the first floor, we do get our share of weird passers-by.

But last month, we witnessed what was certainly the most hilarious spectacle we'd seen or heard in the past five years. It involves a middle school-aged boy with a great imagination and lots of time on his hands, some empty milk crates, and two total voyeurs with a video-recording feature on their camera (that's us). That's all I'll say, because now, YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO. Thanks to Sean Power for the amazing editing and soundtrack.




We fondly call him Crate Boy, and we seem to constantly see him in the neighborhood, riding around. He lives somewhere on the street behind us and we share the alley. I've never been more thankful for that alley. I hope you enjoyed it; I know we did. That jerk near the end of the video is us bursting into hysterics and Trevor dropping the camera for a second. Please share it with your friends. But don't tell them what's coming. Let them experience it for themselves.

Third:

The 2010 issue of our literary arts magazine, Voices, came out a couple of weeks ago, and I must say that I'm pretty proud of it (though there's one typo that will drive me crazy for the next year, if not forever). Check it out on our website in the PDF or Flash editions.

And that's it! I think. If I remember anything else, I'll let you know. Until then, goodnight Maya, Gabe, Olympia, Jameson, Sadie, and Bosco!
