The first of my two New Orleans articles is on the way, and should be up within the week. Meanwhile, I’d like to take a minute — or really, type for a bit, because time is relative on the Internet, right? — to tell you, dear reader, about a great…
Interview 11: Learning About Lars
Do you want another write-up of an interview with a stranger? Well, my mum always says that “‘I want’ never gets’” so perhaps you should have thought about asking more politely. But I’ll let it slide this time and instead serve up the latest article for this site. That’s right!…
Interview 10: Putting On A Performance
An update with actual content, fancy that! The latest dinner with a stranger is available for your reading pleasure. It took place a few weeks ago in New York City and is with Cecil Baldwin. Cecil is trying to make it full-time as an actor in Manhattan. Click away to…
Back From The Big Easy
Like the post headline says, I just got back from New Orleans. A quite excellent time was had by all (myself and three friends). There is a lot to love about the city. Great food, the drinks flow steady and strong, the people are incredibly friendly and I feel very…
Pizza Pool
Alliteration in the headline — yeah! Just a quick update suggesting that any DC-based readers of these site may want to vote in the Washingtonian Magazine’s pizza pool contest, aiming to pick the public’s brains to find the best pizza spot in the District of Columbia. Well, all right, not…
Out Of The Loop
It’s so very warm in DC right now that I’d rather just nap, but I love all three of my visitors so much you can have an update. Earlier today I went to see In The Loop, a rather funny comedy about the not-so-amusing topic of politics. Afterward my friends…
Get Well Soon, Ben
Well, this stinks. Ralph Archbold, best known as Philadelphia’s most prominent Benjamin Franklin impersonator, suffered a stroke last month and is still recovering. I met Ralph for dinner with a stranger earlier this year and found him to be amiable and with a seemingly endless supply of interesting stories. You…
Interview 9: Piece Of Pizza
Here’s another dinner with a stranger. In an embarrassing sign of my tardiness the interview was done exactly two months ago today, but let’s skip over that tiny detail. This dinner (or more accurately lunch) is with two co-owners of a pizzeria in Washington, DC. Click on the picture of…
An Appendix To My Plans
Hilarious update headline to go with the fact that a bout with appendicitis last week left me in surgery and having to cancel my planned trip to England. But rest assured now that the evil appendix has been removed from my body, I’m on the road to recovery and will…
Eating At Eatonville
In case you were wondering, I’m hoping to have another dinner — this time with video! — written up before I head back to England for a brief holiday next week. If you weren’t wondering, then I think you’re terribly rude. Meanwhile, some friends and I went for dinner at…
