the latest news, sort of
28 Nov 2009 | Buy awesome local, handmade stuff this weekend only at the 2009 Rock n Roll Craft Show! If you're in St. Louis, it's a great place to do your holiday shopping (plus you can get both "Milk Eggs Vodka" and "50 Sad Chairs" there this year :-)

28 Dec 2008 | Oops, forgot to mention this: Weird Missouri: Brain sandwiches.

11 Dec 2008 | Gave milkeggsvodka.com/blog a much-needed facelift.

16 Nov 2008 | Hey! Monday, November 17 in Chicago! He Said/She Said and Public Collectors present Bill Keaggy and The Grocery List Collection.

28 Sep 2008 | The RFT chose keaggy.com as the "Best Local Website" of 2008 for its annual Best Of issue. Thanks!

3 Sep 2008 | So super dang psyched to be included in the Freestylin' magazine retrospective book, Generation F. Not much online regarding the awesome Mark Lewman / Andy Jenkins / Spike Jonze project but I unboxed it here.

20 Jun 2008 | Wow. Check out this profile of me in The Riverfront Times! The Collector: St. Louis artist Bill Keaggy takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary

15 Mar 2008 | 50 SAD CHAIRS the book is available now (and I made the web site a little bit better)!

25 Jan 2007 | Off to San Francisco for a few days for the first-ever VizThink conference.

17 Jan 2007 | Been so busy I forgot to mention this: "Other People's Pictures." The Missouri History Museum will screen the documentary then John Foster and I will hold court. Be there!

31 Dec 2007 | My goal for 2008: Nothing.

10 Nov 2007 | Content-free site now up at 50SADCHAIRS.COM to suppport my second book, due out early 2008.

10 Oct 2007 | The new Cryptogramophone album by a jazz group called Trio M will be released 23 Oct 2007 — and the cover features one of my photographs.

26 Sep 2007 | Last month I turned the 50 Sad Chairs project into a book. It will be out in January, published the the weird and wonderful folks at BlueQ.

10 Sep 2007 | Whoa, that's me in Smashing Magazine here and here.

2 Aug 2007 | You did realize August is National Sandwich Month, right?

2 Jul 2007 | Last Friday I quit my job at the newspaper — again — and I'm returning to XPLANE starting 30 July. (Insert another “yay!” here.)

9 Jun 2007 | Hey, I'm the June guest editor over at Coudal Partners. (Insert “yay!” here.)

18 May 2007 | It took a long time, but I'm finally cool. St. Louis Magazine put me on its list of "13 St. Louisans who are redefining cool." Here's a scan the page: stlmag_051807.jpg (um, I was in the Australian edition of Reader's Digest too (readersdigest_051807.jpg), if you were still doubting my coolness).)

24 Apr 2007 | So you might have heard me mention (about 648 times) that I made a book based on one of my sites, Grocerylists.org. The book is called “Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found” and will be in stores in just a couple weeks. So that makes 649 mentions. Anyway, I also made a new web site to promote the book: milkeggsvodka.com. So there.

10 Mar 2007 | Earlier this week I received an advance copy of my book, Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found. It's such as weird thrill to hold the actual book in my hands. I think it turned out pretty cool. So this is just another thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Grocery List Collection over the years. You just might see one of yours in the book, which, happily, is available on Amazon and comes out in May.

21 Feb 2007 | I'm switching web hosts. Some features are broken but will be fixed in the next week or so, I hope.

15 Feb 2007 | WANTED: THE WORLD'S COOLEST ROBOTS, PIRATES AND MONKEYS. I'm working on a big RPM project and I want your suggestions for the coolest robots, pirates and monkeys ever. Now, of course I've got C-3PO, Blackbeard and Curious George on the list — I need suggestions for RPMs that might not be part of the fabric of popular culture.
