Last Thursday night we see Regina Spektor perform at Kool Haus in Toronto. You know what I like about Regina Spektor? I like her logo.

RESPEKT

RESPEKT! Also RESPEKTOR. Also, memo/email-style, RE: SPEKT, RE: SPEKTOR, and RE: GINA SPEKTOR. (Plus: She’s Russian-born, so the Cyrillic-ish K in RESPEKT is a nicely appropriate touch.) We should all be so lucky as to have a name like that, that can be so cleverly shortened and manipulated to such excellent typographical effect.

SDH

I’m Scott David Herman, I’m an American living in Canada, and I’ve been running erasing.org since 1999.

The expatriate life is very glamorous. I live and work on the fifth floor of a mid-rise glass-and-concrete ant farm situated in the abandoned ruins of downtown Hamilton, that legendary city many call the most beautiful smoke-spewing slag heap in all of Southern Ontario.

I enjoy staring into open books, mentally rotating Shakespeare’s skeleton, stacking objects in my quote-unquote office, and chopping at the Parnassian permafrost in the company of my wife Laura.

You can email me at scott at erasing.org.
