Day 3 of our 28 day blogathon
Got a call from an intrepid young journalist from ABC news. She’s hungry, she’s got a cam recorder and she’s got some great ideas. I picture her as a Lois Lane type. We haven’t met yet but she seems like a pretty interesting person. Here’s the thing, people that are interested are interesting.
Her idea: make a series of short films about fascinating New York City people that work every day to make New York City the colorful vibrant place that it is. So far she has interviewed three subjects. The first was a court room sketch artist who has had the thrill of making drawing of the most notorious criminals around. Imagine what its like to make the official court room rendering of John Gotti and Bernie Madoff. Another subject is a woman auto-mechanic from Queens. The third are two Mormon Evangelists. You know the type. They are wearing crisp white shirts and ties and have name tags and a copy of John Smith’s bible. I’ve always wanted to talk to them to find out how the hell they are enjoying our fair city.
Tin Pan is next on the list… We’re meeting next Wednesday for an interview and she’s been filming us, following us around in cognito, when we are at street hits and I know for a fact she will be at our Googie’s show this Friday.
FYI: I have some practice shaking off evangelists and bible thumpers. If you want some tips or wanna hear some outrageous stories let me know…
