Absolute Beginners... Again
So... I decided to start an on-line diary, to mind the gap between what has been and what is to come. Somehow posting communiques on this site felt a little bit like tattooing a corpse, all be it, as they say, an exquisite one. I also felt that this format might allow me to write more often, with less self-inflicted pressure to locate a grand theme or occurrence. So until the 'Secret History' site goes up, this diary or blog (as they call it in the biz), will be where you can find my non-fiction accounts of a fictional life. Or is it my fictional accounts of a non-fiction life? Oh let's just say it's where I will be writing about my world, real and imagined. It's probably a bad idea. Oh, and hopefully I'll be able to include a lot of my random photography into the mix. Jeez aren't you lucky? http://myhopeandanchor.blogspot.com xo Michael |

Friends & Countrymen....
I'm spinning at 10 & 12 this Saturday Night for the relaunch of the fantastic Mondo party. This is a big deal to my close friends who are behind it, and thus it is important to me too... It's free, you will hear the best music you have heard out in a long, long time...and there are two floors....a pulse-y dancy lower level, and a lean on the bar hang out upper level...where you will find me spinning everything from The New York Dolls to The Pastels to Maximo Park...and much more. I suggest you go see either "You me & everyone we know" or "2046" downtown...and then come over and say hi and have a drink with me...that is when I'm not fumbling around with my headphones on... Much love, Michael Grace Saturday August 20th Mondo @ Anatomy Bar 511 East 6th St. (Between Ave. A & B) Time: 10 pm to 4am |
