HPN Writing Challenge: Summer Hitlist

April 30th, 2009 § 0

There have been too many videos, not enough writing on HPN recently. To that end I’m laying down an HPN writing challenge: the first annual summer hitlist. How does it work? Simply write out what’s “in” and “out” in your world this summer.

As George Grant recently quoted on his blog, “When a thing ceases to be a subject of controversy, it ceases to be a subject of interest.” – William Hazlitt

Summer is a time for novelty. New music, new weather, new friends (this town clears out in the summers). So don’t fear the cutting edge – in can be as sophistic or esoteric, or not, as you like.

Here’s my first attempt:

Out: Going Eastern Orthodox
In: Going Anabaptist

Out: Robert Farrar Capon
In: Michael Pollan

Out: Gin and Tonics
In: Gin Rickeys

Out: Just War Theory
In: Non-Violence

Out: Shari’s
In: Smokey Mountain Pizza

Anyone who happens to still read this blog is also welcome to participate.
