Holy Cow News!!!

* My film FLESH ORGY OF THE ZOMBIE TOTEM (photo above) played July 18, 2009 at the fabulous Arkansas Underground Film Festival, alongside works by Andy Warhol, Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali, George Kuchar, and many other giants of underground/avant-garde film! My film SEASON'S GREETINGS played February 21, 2009 at the sold-out Play Ground Short Shorts Film Festival in Duluth, Minnesota. Click FILMS, top of page, for more info.

* Several of my songs have been voted "Track of the Day" at GarageBand.com. This means they were featured on the front page of GarageBand.com's punk music section. Winners of this daily award are chosen by musician/reviewers at GarageBand.com, the largest community of independent musicians on the Web. Click on the symbol here to visit my GarageBand page and hear these and several other songs of mine.

 * 55 Fiction 2007 and 2008: In June I was one of the winners of the 2008 55 Fiction contest, sponsored by California's New Times and Santa Maria Sun papers. The contest is world-famous, getting around a thousand entries from around the world, and past winning entries have been compiled in highly praised books. The challenge: write a complete short story in only 55 words. In 2007 they published three of mine. In 2008 they published one. In 2009, alas, none of mine were chosen. Read my winning stories, and other weird 55 word short stories of mine, by clicking WRITING, top of this page.

* I am a quote! I was poking around on Black Crayon, a cool individualist anarchist site, browsing quotes by some of my heroes like Lysander Spooner, Robert Anton Wilson,  Murray Rothbard, and Auberon Herbert, and some of the other great figures in anarchist thought (Emma Goldman, Benjamin Tucker, Thoreau, Kropotkin and more), and I was startled to come across a quote by... me! The quote was from my Amazon.com review of Rothbard's libertarian classic For A New Liberty. I am honored to be in such company!  UPDATE: The same quote has found its way into a second outstanding collection of anarchist quotes.

* My article "How I Learned To Stop Fooling Around And Became A Glamorous Award-Winning Festivalized Filmmaker Instead" is in an online ebook of filmmakers' stories, by the Filmmaking Story Project. The book is free to read online.

* Short political op-eds of mine are in the current issue of The Liberator Online, world's largest-circulation libertarian publication, which I also edit. Back issues, all but a handful of which feature my short articles in the "Good News, Bad News, Unbelievable News" section, are available from that link, too.
