Interview with the creators of the Copycat Project
Rob Brulinski and Alex Wein are the creators of the Copycat Project, a historical and pictorial documentation of a landmark building known as the Copycat building. And a landmark building it is, once the home to the Crown Cork & Seal Company, which produced more than 40 billion bottle caps a year, and founded by William Painter, the inventor of the bottle seal. Today, the building is home to the creative class made up of artists, musicians, and writers. The book is currently sold out but the duo hopes to find a publisher.
Here’s the story and video interview I did with Brulinski and Wein on The Darkroom.

H.L. Mencken, Sage of Baltimore
Sunday marked the 56th anniversary of the death of legendary Sun journalist H.L. Mencken. Here’s a video I produced featuring The Sun’s Frederick Rasmussen, who speaks on his life, work, and beer. Years before he died, he had written his epitaph, which went something like this: “If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.”
