oh man oh man. it’s been a whirlwind this morning!! and afternoon! i sat down to write this post at about 9am. it’s now just after 2pm and i’ve not gotten any work done and i need to get in to the studio and and and …but it’s all so very awesome. i intended to write more about the clip and how it came to be and some other details of the story…but i think that will have to wait until tomorrow. i’m way too spazzed out now to really organize my thoughts. so i’ll just go with a brief post and a preemptive OH-MY-GOD-I-KNOW-I’M-SUCH-A-GEEK.
yesterday we got a call from the folks at the portland press herald that they caught wind of the money clip we were asked to make for Bryan Cranston (aka Walter White, aka Heisenberg) of Breaking Bad. which was awesome. and then the photographer, Gordie Chibroski, came over and we took a bunch of photos and all that and then i was texting back and forth with the writer and asked where/when the article would run and he answered, “tomorrow, front page”
urf. wow. ok.
so i obsessed and stressed about that for a good part of the night.
this morning we picked up the paper and there was this lovely article written by Matt Byrne, and it was on the front page of the portland press herald. pretty dang cool, if i may say so myself. very sweet and well written. i was getting ready to post it here and there and do the social media thing and i get a call from channel 13 news here in portland, maine. and they’d like to meet today and do an interview for tonight’s six o’clock news.
urf. uhm. wow. ok.
TV. like, moving pictures and sound and talking and being coherent and not acting like a total tool and calming down and not dweebing out.
Gil’s caption to this was pretty funny… “Hey news dude!!! What are you doing to my wife???” …Getting ready to interview
which i fear i didn’t pull off so well. the super lovely and friendly Marissa Bodnar and her camera man came and sat up and she so casually started to ask me questions and in my mind it looked like he was still setting up so i just started chatting…and we were laughing and talking and it was all so easy going and THEN i realized that OHMYGOD they were filming. !!
of course, you say. how could they not be. i mean, WHAT was i thinking.
so once i realized that, i kind of froze. it goes like this: at first, i’m just being a goof. and then, i’m just feeling awkward. Marissa said i did awesome and not to worry. and she was so very light and friendly and you know. but URF. i’m dreading watching tonight. erp.
ok. so tomorrow (hopefully) i’ll write the post i had in mind for today. that is, of course, unless i’m hiding under a rock.
xoxo
