Interview

[ateolf]

It was a nice Friday-before-the-holiday-weekend and I got off work early. Then I went up to Crosstown to meet the person interviewing me for The Daily Memphian. First, a photographer showed up to take me pictures. We went upstairs to the Memphis Listening Lab and he took some pictures in there. It's so fucking weird posing for photographs. I probably will look dumb, but whatever. There was the inevitable moment after a while when I get some instruction to pose completely differently from what I was doing before and I'm interpreting his verbal prompts in completely wrong ways and it takes way too long. But it's done and pictures were taken. Then I had the interview with the journalist. I think it went okay, not too awkward. I mean, I'm just not good at that but it was probably fine. She was nice. I probably started off nervous but I think I got into it as the questions picked up. Mostly what I said was probably good, I'm sure I didn't say some things I should have said but whatever. I did have to email her right after about something I should have said, because as we were in the Memphis Listening Lab, I had my photo taken in the MLL, and we talked sitting right outside the MLL, I should have mentioned that we were doing that listening party at MLL right before the festival! I didn't but, I emailed that factoid when I got home. I ran some errand to drop a return off at kinkos for Mary Beth and while there I copied some flyers (hopefully I get a chance to put 'em up today). Then at night Mary Beth and I went up to Crosstown to see Joe Rainey and it was a really good show. He sang holding one of those varispeed walkmen things like the one I used to have that broke and there was the producer playing electronics. Good show! Mary Beth and I chatted with some friends afterwards for a little bit (Jacques, Amy, Ben, Megan). We had some rhubarb drinks when we got home with the rhubarb reduction that Mary Beth made. Tasty! I guess that's about it for now.
