Trace and friends (via The Houston Chronicle)

So, I went to a screening of Current’s “Unconventionally Yours” on Tuesday. It’s a kitschy little number about the upcoming party conventions in Denver and Minneaspolis that is now showing on Al Gore’s channel. Apparently it was written, shot directed, blah blah blah by Trace Crutchfield. Trace works at Vice and is developing their online TV network. He was at Bourbon in Adam’s Morgan presenting his project.

He’s a bit of a showboat–something tells me it’s not the first time he’s hogged a microphone. But nonetheless, “Unconventionally Yours” whet my whistle.

But here’s the point: I could have sworn Trace was 26. Maybe one of those young guys who has grey hair, but it works somehow. I’ll admit the mood lighting at Bourbon may have altered my vision, but who knew (Maybe it was his well-cropped suit…a little too well-cropped?). When I saw the film I realized he must be at least 45. Trace, I’m not sure if this is a compliment, but what Oprah is to weight (you know, she’s fat, she’s skinny), you are to age.
