A note from the editor: We offer our sincere apologies for taking a brief hiatus from this newsletter while Kaleb “Spike” Horton recovered from injuries sustained during an altercation that forced him to run off the edge of a cliff. He quickly realized the regrettable impossibility of not| Kaleb Horton
Preface: I just found out about this weird new website called 12ft.io that "bypasses paywalls," whatever that means. Anyway, this is what I spent the last half of 2024 working on: it's a feature for a new F1 lifestyle magazine called Esses. While it'| Kaleb Horton
I’m going full nomad lately; while I still have a place to sleep in Los Angeles, I should see more interesting sights than the same few chunks of Burbank I turned into a routine through complacency. I’ll just point the car somewhere, go to a new| Kaleb Horton
Apologies for the sporadic posts lately. Trying to get my groove back. I’ll just tell you what’s on my mind, rip the Band-Aid off, because it’s all I know how to do and right now I don’t have any other options. Rugged,| Kaleb Horton
I’ve been away too long, and not by choice. Turning my life into something recognizable in spite of being broke and brokenhearted has been a 24 hour a day job lately, and it hasn’t even worked, which is devastating and definitely somebody else’s fault.| Kaleb Horton
I was reading a list in Variety, one of those lunch break lists where you’re chewing your sandwich and see some faces you recognize and some words underneath that make you think “huh, that’s wrong” and then you finish your sandwich and throw away| Kaleb Horton
This sounds like a parody of something I would post specifically. You’re completely right. Spiritually, I made it up. But it’s real somehow: I found an episode of Coast to Coast AM where Art Bell interviews Merle Haggard. And that undersells it. Merle sits in for| Kaleb Horton
I wish I had a time machine so I could go back in time and talk to my dad in 1988, just before I was born, and tell him what it’s like to live in the future. I’d tell him all the amazing things that are| Kaleb Horton
Honest to goodness The bars weren’t open this morning They must have been voting For a new president or something X is calling it quits. They’re my favorite band ever, so it’s hard to say that and harder still to wrap my head around| Kaleb Horton
It’s Christmastime, which means it’s time for people who make posts on the computer to list things with a little preamble you slammed out in five minutes. It’s an actual time-honored tradition I like, because it’s so easy to list things, and| Kaleb Horton
People have been asking me for writing advice a lot lately. All I really have to say is just start typing until you’re done, and make sure none of what you’re typing is bullshit. The first part takes until whenever your deadline is, and the second| Kaleb Horton
I’m in the home stretch of an assignment, and I should be doing that, but last night I saw a documentary that wound up being so specifically related to my assignment that I can confidently claim this is a rehearsal. I saw the new Yacht Rock documentary on| Kaleb Horton
I’m way too tired to write, which is why I’m doing it. I’m finishing a magazine gig and gathering the nerve to stick the landing. God willing you’ll see it early next year. I’m gonna use a word my mom abuses: it feels weird doing| Kaleb Horton
Note: I wrote a bunch of stuff before posting the actual article. You know, like recipe sites, except I heard some of those guys make money. So just scroll down a thousand words for the actual thing you clicked on. Which reminds me, consider a paid subscription if you like| Kaleb Horton
David Lynch has gone on to whatever the next place is. I’m very sad about it; it came at a hard time for the city of Los Angeles, a place he dearly loved, and it’s hard not to think his change of consciousness, which we kinda knew was| Kaleb Horton
