Got me frazzled dwindling wig did in time for holiday travels, thanks to my longtime inspiring hairmaster Lisa! Shes only been in her sweet new salon for over a month and has already Fang Shwayed the hell out of it.
I will only get clipped where Downing & Bovie art hangs.

Okay, I have made a few posts that maybe implied “Shane of the Many Sorrows” was wrapped, but TODAY was the grand finale, the whipped cream sporting a cherry on top. Once again graced by exquisite outdoor light and three friends really open and sharing with their unique gifts and visions.

This could actually work as a magazine ad for Shane of the Many Sorrows. With a little copy of course.

Okay, I’m doting a bit. 6 months vs 4 years.

Rayne O’May as Townes Van Zandt charming Shane.
Thank you Peter Redgrave and Orlando Johnson for turning in what I knew would be masterful performances! Surely to make his body move in the inhuman ways he does Peter must have some of the Dark Lord within him!

We successfully shot the Satan scene of Shane of the Many Sorrows on Lottie’s 4th birthday, the 17th! Here she is a distinguished 4 year old next to the picture of her at 6 months that the rescue agency sent us when we got her.
And today was a year from the day we shot the second scene of the movie

Thank you old friend @peterquinn100 for whipping up this tasty official poster for the tiny feature film that has tossed me in my fever dreams for years now! Thank you to everyone who has helped & indulged me. Baltimore has so many inspired, kind & half-crazed artists!

Oh how I miss the days when this sweet homie lived in town.

I’ve got some amazing friends. Saintly und giggly Amanda spent two hours applying amazing makeup and wig for a role in “Shane of the Many Sorrows” THEN drove all the way from Lancaster in character.
But I am not a complete amateur filmmaker, I treated her and Everly to lunch at Doppio.

We shot the grand finale of “Shane of the Many Sorrows” Sunday and it was ethereal and electric beyond my NyQuil dreams! It’s killing me to not post production pictures but I want to keep the last two scenes secret so that whoever may end up seeing it will hopefully be hit with some juicy

October baby.

Really looking forward to this event! Many of my poems lean into horror for sure. When I first started writing with “serious intent” at 12 I wrote horror stories. My first publication was my story “The Man In The Green Suit” in elementary school.

Pulled in the Silver Sorceress @susanaharris to comfort Shane in limbo! “Shane of the Many Sorrows” journeys on.

The third Waverly Book Festival in the books. Mucho effort by Red Emma’s, Waverly Main St, Odette Ramos and many others.

Sometimes “at work” I get to listen to great writers read their work. I got an extra thrill when i caught DC poet Bernard Welt complimenting my poetry on video! Plus we had four poets in the house who are in the new Best American Poetry 2025 anthology edited by Terence Winch.

one is in exceptional shape.
Leo has bibliomania running through his pale veins.
And on top of that, Leo’s crafty pal Rayne - featured in the upcoming holiday romp, “Shane of the Many Sorrows” made me a stuffed Lottie carrying 4 leaf clovers. The kids are alright. When they’re not

Still squeezing some last joy fizzes from my big Medicare birthday. Young Leo of the untamed mane, who I love like another man’s son, truly made me exclaim with shock when he produced this rare beauty from his Grateful Dead Neck Pouch Hemp Bag! The first collection of Ernest Noyes Brookings poems,

drove knew them much better, and at first I thought Ted Falconi was a local street guy they picked up and leaned against the wall. Stephen Depace jumped around the stage in a black raincoat (if altered memory serves). Bruce kept the party going. I was so in the moment and enthralled that I couldn’t

RIP Bruce Loose. I saw Flipper at the 9:30 Club in 1982 and wasn’t entirely sure at first what I was seeing - and not just because my young self took mescaline “to help stay up” after work night shift. Slow motion roiling shaped infectious chaos. I’d never seen pictures of them before, my friend who

And loud crickets and occasional dirtbikes and joyful kid screeches. Dina & Rahne had somehow never met, but their chemistry together was pure magic!!!

I suppose there can’t ever be too much fun, but today’s Shane of the Many Sorrows shoot may have busted one of my belly laugh circuits! Much thanks to the crew for really bringing it on a gorgeous late afternoon! Many civilians scattered about adding flavor to the proceedings.

Some very special folks cushioned my entry into the Medicare years with dynamite Uzbeki food from the ever reliable Silk Road. I decided to take advantage of the setting to shoot a quickie Last Supper scene for Shane of the Many Sorrows!

I’d been wondering why it was so hard to find a dang rusty bucket on the open market and here they all be!!!

Parting is indeed a sweet sorrow! But Everly, Lottie & Marigold await me! Plus Everly got me Jake’s bbq for when I get back. Sweet meat pot of gold for this road weary goblin.
I got Adam wearing the new swag!
