I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been a piss-poor blogger as of late. And while a lot of my absence had to do with an insane amount of admittedly awesome stuff going on, part of it also had to do with some crappy stuff that happened which I felt people were waiting for me to comment on…. But fuck that. I’ll write what I want, bitches!
First of all, the Disneyland Resort is amazing, and it makes WDW looks like a big pile of shit in comparison. There were so many little things that I didn’t realize I missed or that were lacking in WDW until I saw them in DL. But now that the veil has been lifted, I can’t look at my home parks the same way again. Here’s hoping George Kalogridis can turn things around down in Florida. He has a big job ahead of him. In the meantime, all of my trips to Florida will be solely devoted to hanging with friends and going to the Universal parks. WDW isn’t getting any more of my money for the foreseeable future.
So, without further adieu, here are some videos from my Disneyland trip. I think they speak for themselves….
Up next, three excellent reviews of Our Kingdom of Dust! Even though the book has been out for nearly a year now, it still finds new readers, and for that I’m really grateful. I’m very proud of this book, and it’s always cool to hear from people who enjoyed it.
Food, Fitness, Fantasy says “…there are a lot of expansive, dark themes — pain, violence and emptiness. Walt Disney World isn’t simply the setting, it’s a catalyst, practically a character.” Read the rest of Katherine’s review of OKoD and DSoD here!
Between Disney, longtime supporters of Bamboo Forest Publishing, also did a big write-up: “For a first fictional offering, I really have to applaud Kinsey. In the first ten pages he hooked me as a reader, in a genre I would typically never read.” Check out the rest here!
Finally, Mighty Men of Mouse recorded an entire podcast just about OKoD. They really enjoyed it and had a lot of very insightful and interesting thoughts and comments. Listen to the whole episode here!
Okay, that’s about it for now. As usual, if you run a podcast or website and ever need someone to talk about Disney, indie publishing, booze, guitar playing, or whatever, I’m always up for interviews. Also, a heads-up: Pentakis and I will be in Amsterdam at the end of March, with a brief day-trip to Paris. If you’re in the area and want to hang out, please shoot me an email via the Contact Page!
P.S. Visit Ron Schneider’s new site, Theme Park University! The site just started, but there’s already some fascinating content on there. If you have any interest in Themed Entertainment, or enjoyed Ron’s book, you’re going to love this site!
