Lenni Jabour<\/a> actually keeps two<\/a> (sort of), and if you’ve read either you’ve gotten a perfect insight into her performances and personality.<\/p>\n\n

For the most part, though, I agree with Scott: more artists–of all kinds–should keep weblogs. My reasons are slightly different, though: they’re completely selfish. These people are interesting, and I want to know more about them; if someone else discovers them because of their online presence, it’s all the better (but it’s really just about me).<\/p>\n\n

Ferinstance. Based on his e-mail, I’d love to read a blog by local playwright and actor Jayson McDonald; his cohort, Jeff Culbert, runs Theatre in London<\/a>, and I’m sure he’d write a good one himself (and, better yet, be able to host a common blog area on his site). Any or all of the Sirens<\/a> should, and Pete and Andrea of Double Whammy\/Anderson Briefcase<\/a>, and my sister’s boyfriend Chris (of Lost Relics<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n

Heck, even people I work with<\/a> blog, or are thinking about doing so, and I read them too. (We’re not a particularly social company.) I’m probably (probably? ha!) the least interesting of the bunch, what with all of the tech stuff I post here that’s nominally work-related, but at least I make up for it in quantity.<\/p><\/div>
