“I’ll be there. Can’t wait for the half-time tribute to Salinger where the football players read their favorite passages from Franny and Zooey.”
- Jason Lewis from Boston, in response to an invitation to a Super Bowl party.
Holy cow. Bad Romance by Lady GaGa is an amazing song!
CHRIS: Do you have Ronen’s number?
ZACHARY: Yeah. 516-***-****.
CHRIS: (entering details into phone) What’s his last name?
ZACHARY: It’s … well, it’s … fuck if I know. Verbot or Verbit or something. (pause) Who the hell else do you know named Ronen?
CHRIS: Oh. Right.
I am starting a cover band in New Haven. Our first band meeting is tonight at my apartment. I won’t reveal the source of our inspiration just yet, but I have strategically decorated my coffee table for reference during our meeting.
My Hit Record profile page. Roofjumper is my name. I just watched Joe’s ‘New Deal’ video - really inspiring and well explained. As someone who does not regularly create visual, audio, video, or generally ‘creative’ content, I’m intrigued into thinking about what I can bring to the table in such an open creative environment.
I consider myself fortunate to know and live amongst some of the most creative and interesting friends I’ve ever had - musicians, painters, poets, sculptors, writers, producers, architects, filmmakers, chefs and mixologists even - but I’ve never considered myself a collaborator in their creative endeavors.
That being said, I have been an active administrator and encourager in many of those endeavors, and perhaps there’s a place for that at Hit Record. Surely encouragement and engagement is a big (or at least helpful) part of any creative process. The question I have for myself is how to lend that in an online environment such as this, and if there are other ways for me to be involved.
Anyway, excited to get started.
I am watching public access TV in Denver. You can text requests to this dude playing a piano and guitar. My request is at the top of the tv screen.
