ASK ME ANYTHING.

The Haunted Skirvin

Here’s an episode that I was originally going to release for Halloween. I ultimately sat on it because I just didn’t think it was very good or interesting. I think mostly because I really need to stop trying to make these things at 2:00am in a hotel room when I’m away on business. However, it seems that’s the only time when I find myself able to do them. But, I digress.

I was on the verge of throwing the files into the trash when my friend Misty convinced me that I should go ahead and release it.

Something along the lines of practicing what I preach RE: lobbing lots of stuff over the creative net to see what gets returned back and all that. At least, that was the message I got even though those were not the exact words.

Just in case you’re wondering, the battery really did die at the exact spot in the video that you see. Call it coincidence. Call it wet, naked ghosts. It’s interesting no matter how you look at it.

Also, you might notice I’ve changed the URL at the end. I’m going to phase out thecocktailnapkin.com and just post these videos to therocksglass.com. Seems to me that I’m trying to spread all this content too thin.

In this episode: Oklahoma City, Skirvin Hilton, hauntings, mistresses, infanticide, Effie, cheek pimples, exhaustion, hinkiness.

the MARTINI SHAKER IS DEAD. LONG LIVE the ROCKS GLASS.

the ROCKS GLASS is one of those fancy-schmancy Tumblr sites that happens to be curated by Kansas City-based creative generalist Jeremy Fuksa.

“Creative generalist” sounds like an aggrandized term. It is. But, it rolls off the tongue much easier than Designer, Developer, Writer, Broadcaster, Filmmaker, Speaker, Musician, Photographer and Attention Whore. Plus, it looks way cooler on a business card.
