"La Ciudad"
Zocalo, the 'town square' of Mexico City. Ancient and very artistic, never a dull moment. Literally hundreds of thousands walking the streets as Silvio Rodriguez, the Cuban musician and poet, endulged the locals with a free concert. The crowd chanted 'Cuba Si, Yankees No.' My local friends and I laughed. Silvio's voiced echoed through alleyways as rain soaked the sidewalks. A moment I will never forget ~ dm

LAUNCHING MAL PAIS MEDIA...
The site has launched (much thanks to the crew at JoyEngine & Cypher13. Spread the word…Mal Pais Media is up and running and ready to get to work… I have just finished writing a script entitled “Machaca” and have begun the revision (of which there will be many) process. Pre-production has also started on a few documentary and TV ideas. Time will tell. I am mostly excited about the opportunities that lay ahead… working with good friends, telling stories, discovery…creation. The dream needs to be chased. It deserves to be chased. Enjoy the site and don’t forget to look out the window

CASE BRENNINKMEYER
Case Brenninkmeyer, a great friend and ambassador to the higher elevations, tragically died early this year while on a hut to hut ski trip with his girlfriend Claire Dixon. The news hit family and friends hard. Case died doing what he loved, with a girl that he loved, and together they took on the greatest adventure of all. I wanted to share this photo of Case on Denali. Case buddy, ‘long may you run’
