Everything is coming up Ohio for me these days. Just a weird pile up of things related to the... uh... Buckeye state is Iowa, Potatoes is Idaho... whatever Ohio's state thing is - that state. I've recently begun author interviews for this site and three of the first authors aboard for them, Kyle Minor, Craig McDonald and Donald Ray Pollock are living there and I just watched this kick ass movie The Fourteenth Victim, (directed by Mark Wade Stone), a documentary about Eliot Ness and the Cleveland Torso Murders...
betwixt the writers, the music and the film - seems to me some serious dark clouds hovering over the heartland. BTW - there was an X-Files episode that named two characters after the husband/wife duo that is the back bone of the band Over the Rhine - Linford Detweiler and Karin Begquist - I think she got to be a scientist and he had a dog named after him. Cool tip of the hat, but took me out of the episode for sure. Another time that happened was the final season of The Shield when Shane and Mara and Jackson are on the run and take aliases - Shawn, Katy and Ryan, (the show's creator Shawn Ryan and his wife Cathy Cahlin Ryan who played Corin on the show) and speaking of Alias, (the tv show) - there was an episode featuring a sci-fi weapon called Ice Ten and it did exactly the same thing as Ice Nine from Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle... wait - it was Cat's Cradle right? To sum up: Ohio must be cool, look for more interviews coming to HBW and not just from Ohioans...OhioEns? Ohi-ans?, in-jokes are cool, but distracting sometimes and Kurt Vonnegut books kinda run together in my memory.
