Working for KERA/Art&Seek has definitely opened my mind up to more than clubs in Deep Ellum. I’ll admittedly say aloud, that I find myself feeling rather foolish and….well…a li’l igneeeerraaannt about so many things going on that don’t pertain to one single one of my beloved local bands.

I’ve gone absolutely mad over one particular writer (and KERA contributor), Mr. Rawlins Gilliland. Hell, even his name is interesting. I’m seriously so smitten with this man, that I practically tackled him in the parking lot on Friday, just to shake his hand. I was just as giggly and gushy as I’ve been just sitting in front of his writings.

I’m very very much not a reader. Just ask my ex-husband, it drove him crazy that I consistantly chose bad reality shows over a decent read. But Mr. Gilliland has changed all that…well…at least when it comes to anything he pens (or commentates). You simply must read him. (Some links below)

Now I must get my giddy-self back to work so I can continue stalking this lovely and quite delightful man, every chance I get.
