Okay, I have so many monthly subscriptions to magazines.. Interview, Black Enterprise, INC, Game Informer, Games for Windows, etc, etc.. and I rarely feel I have time to read.. well basically, any of them.. apart from Interview of course.. and even that takes some intense planning.
But when I’m at home with an idle moment I do my best to check out some of the rest of my favorites, which defnitely includes Spin. There’s a column in every magazine called: “In My Room” ..where they interview an Artist and he/she gives sort of a synopsis of the things that are.. in their room. Makes sense, yeah? Well in the March issue they hooked up with Trail Of Dead’s Conrad Keely.. it’s pretty cool, he talks about his viola, blueprints for a ship he was designing, his cats..you know, the usual things..
..But really what drew my attention to this article was what he considered the 5th monumental item in his apartment. A glass pipe ..and I quote:
I’m an advocate of legalization. I smoke probably once or twice a day. It’s a social thing, too, so if friends come over, we’ll smoke out. But on a pragmatic level, it’s very good for focus when doing artwork and composing music-you can get into that world. “Cause, you know, what are we doing as artists and musicians? We’re world building, aren’t we?”
That was beautifully put Mr. Keely, could anyone agree any more?
