Interviews - Of and By Me

I seem to have caught a bit of tonsilitus, so I've been pretty bed-ridden for the last three days (save leaving the house in search of a working toilet, mine is currently out of commission, and I might have to deal with it being so until Monday... *sigh*) but only in the last day have I actually done anything besides one of the following (in order of how much time I have spent on each): 1) watch movies 2) nap 3) browse the internet and 4) try and get someone to fix my toilet. That something is that I have been attempting to transcribe my interview with Russ into text format to better examen it. I'm not really sure whether or not I'll put the whole text up, perhaps a link to it will suffice (it's rather long, the whole interview lasted about 45 minutes of varying speed of talking). But I'm working on it, and will probably start up a written overview tomorrow (I only have about 7 more minutes to transcribe... ish). I also hope to have the entire mp3 up for anyone who wants to to listen to (then you can hear all the "um's" and "uh's" that didn't make it into the transcribed text, although I assure you that the majority are kept). Although I do treat this whole thing lightly I would say that the interview itself went really well, Russ more than answered my questions and really explained a great deal of how he feels about the all-ages scene. Kudos to Russ. Kudos all the way south to San Francisco where he currently is staying.

In other news, as Veteran's Day is a school holiday on Monday I'm being provided with a possible one time chance to get on the radio and talk about myself and the project. I'm still floundering with a name, but I might end up just calling it The April O'Neil Project like I call my booking, but I'd still like something fresh and new. Julie is interviewing me on KHSU between 2 and 4, I need to call her to get some real details on it. I'll post the time up here (AND on myspace, AND on facebook...) as soon as I have it set down.

Now I really ought to lie down and watch some movie until I fall asleep, least I start whining about how lousy I feel.

UPDATE!: I guess I'll be on at 2, then. KHSU, that is. 90.5 fm. Alright!
