In January, my friend Evan Valentine sent out a timely tweet which inspired me to rewatch these videos that some friends and I produced for Hexagon 2009 in DC. They are the funniest thing that Hexagon ever did. Here they are, in their glory, on the 10th anniversary of their creation. God bless you, Skip Maraney. … Continue reading
I gave a much shorter, infinitely less coherent version of this spiel as a toast at Shoney’s on December 17th, mostly out of respect for my fellow Mayors and Citizens.

I haven’t seen a doctor about it, but I think it’s called “existing in 2017.” And sorry I’ve been quiet for a while; I was finishing my PhD. A lot … Continue reading
I’ve been working on updating the archive of my podcasts and other radio projects at the TDC Productions online archive. I happened to be copying over these lists today, and it hit me that ten years ago tonight, I was on the air on WGTB in Georgetown with Chris Barylick. Chris now lives and does … Continue reading
I defer to the Generation X for any and all commentary about Prince, but I do have a story I’d like to share if you have a few minutes to read it. One night at the Hot Broth Comedy Open Mic in Arlington Virginia (probably 2010; let’s go with that), Ahmed Vallejos asked me and … Continue reading
