Blogger Declares First- Ever Distinguished Person Interview A "Success"!

thursday, 6:33pm- a little late. all was calm in the backspace at 300 allen st., except the usual bustlings of the stolid germanic workforce behind inside books, sending free books to texas prisoners since a long time ago. it was their worknight, after all.
but something else was also happening in the teevee close by, with an audience member culled from the house to prove it- the first ever of the Fall interview series of Distinguished Persons!












this week's DP was heather. she told some great stories about growing up in vero beach, florida and her dreams to move to new york and own a cat named napolean. she also recounted a fabulous story about when she climbed way up into a bay tree to get out of going on a third date with someone. i'd love to post some soundbites here but dont know how. i'll be working on it. i got this knock- off ipod that i cnat quite figure out how to work, but i did get to record the interview on it. it's digital- it should sync up, right?









this week on sideways "the view" : arte y revolucion











interference! please adjust your television sets










members of our studio audience









some other audience members get back to work at inside books
all in all, a fabulous evening and a dashing success. i'd like to thank heather for her sweet poems and entertaining conversation. and roy for the pictures and for being a good audience w/rolando and the ibp folks.
come to the next one, y'all! it might even be... dun dun daa! :Rolando! (i still have to ask him)
