And time to wear seersucker with a straw hat!

This was at endquote's Birth Cinco de BBQ Day. Minutes before I started eating the Space Needle and biting Andy's ear and sweating a lot at the NWFF Auction Gala where I managed to eat meat for charity and spend too much money and sweat a lot.

Hello.


I changed my name from Erik Benson to Buster McLeod on the flip of a coin in September of 2006. When I got married on Oct 4th, 2008, I changed it again to Buster Benson. I live in Seattle, WA. I was previously a co-founder of The Robot Co-op (self-help internet startup) and McLeod Residence (art gallery and bar). Now I work on stuff related to Enjoymentland. I once wrote a book called Man Versus Himself. I believe life is art. I believe in doubling down on big living, big loving, big risk, and big change.

I have a manifesto of 12 things you can do to make your life more interesting. They are:

1. You must not dilly-dally.
2. You must be your word.
3. You must have good intentions.
4. You must admit to being the maker of meaning.
5. You must not feel sorry for yourself.
6. You must have a vision that you are striving for.
7. You must tie creativity and experimentation with survival.
8. You must be the change.
9. You must rally others with your vision.
10. You must stake your reputation on your better self.
11. You must be responsible for your own failure and success.
12. You must be comfortable with big failure.
