Crossing Abbey Road in London, a few years back I thought I’d share a few of the fun resources I’ve stumbled across in my media immersion research– including others visiting the fictional world in real life. The linked names in the parentheses are Twitter handles. After all it is #FollowFriday. Red Letter Media [...] DMZ Vol. 8: Hearts and Minds Written by Brian Wood Artwork by Brian Wood, Riccardo Burchielli (Hearts and Minds) and Ryan Kelly (No Future) The premise: DMZ is about Matty Roth,who used to be an embedded photojournalist, reporting on life in a zone neither the the Free States of America and the United [...] Washington Irving’s home, Sunnyside, in Tarrytown, NY Washington Irving is a Romantic storyteller. Romantic in the academic sense, that is. His stories showcased New York as more than a place. In one story, Rip Van Winkle, nature even kidnaps a drunken man by lulling him into a 20 year nap.
