Catfish McDaris was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1953. He’s written poetry and prose for the past 20 years. He’s hopped freights & hitchhiked across the U.S. & Mexico. Catfish lived in a cave & wintered in a Chevy while staying in Denver. His adventures finally landed him at the post office in Milwaukee. He hopes that a catfish farm is next.
David Blaine: I noticed that in all your biographical material Catfish McDaris is born in 1953 and then the story fast-forwards to the time he came home from the Army and started traveling America. Has he ever had a police mug shot taken? What name appeared on the placard?
Catfish McDaris: Steven Carl McDaris. I got busted at 13 for stealing soda bottles for their 4 cent deposit. I no longer drive, but I did for almost 40 years. I quit 7 years ago, when I quit drinking. After my younger sister died, I drove to the graveyard, opened a bottle of Cuervo & got stinkoed. Cops got me for O.W.I. even though I never drove drunk. I tried to take a cop’s gun away; that’s the only arrest as an adult.
The International Syndicate of Cult Film Critics aim to celebrate shoddy B-movies and straight-to-video films. We will cover these flicks fondly, with tongues firmly kept in our cheeks. The one thing we ask of those who contribute to the Club is that you must watch the film in its entirety, even if this means having to strap yourself down onto a chair and getting your eyelids locked out like Alex DeLarge from ‘A Clockwork Orange’. It is imperative that you absorb the visual treats.

"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
