It’s Sunday afternoon and I am pleased to announce that we have recorded one of the final elements to our inaugural podcast launch, “YAY!” All that is left is some final editing to be sure we don’t sound like a bunch of old men droning on about nothing while thinking we are as clever as the sun is bright. We are a hopeful bunch, and I think you may like what is in store for your listening pleasure.
So after an afternoon of recording and good company, I went home and logged on to my interweb machine looking for ideas, stories, and potential OverServed information you might need to hear. I searched my usual suspects, but it was bigthink.com that came through for me again. Just the other day I was having a conversation with a friend about the “creative process” and how the search for a brilliant writer begins with a fine bottle of whiskey. I can honestly say that I have made some valiant attempts at unlocking my creative brain with a double Jameson on the rocks, and sometimes it worked and I wrote some really funny shit. Sometimes I thought getting naked and dancing to Brittany Spears was my greatest artistic expression, and I demanded respect for my moves. Perhaps the term “liquid courage” is less about the fearlessness created by a booze soaked gummy bear you just ate, and more about the freedom to be creative and inspire you to write the next great American novel … Too far? I thought so too – the following pieces just touch upon the surface of how our creative brains are affected by drinking, but what I like most, as an artist myself, is I finally have a little bit of validation!
The following includes a three and a half minute video that reminds me that I was born in the wrong decade 🙂
