I must have done something really good in a past life to deserve this...

[Fenrir13]

Well, if you remember...I was trying my damndest to score a photo pass for the Bodom show. Well, after three weeks of the grueling wait...I not only have a ticket, and the photo pass offer, but a live interview.

Yes. I am getting to interview the boys(or one of the boys) come April 30th. I have my tape recorder, and I didn't expect to get this as well; it looks like CM is sticking up for the little guy here(read; an independent non profit publication).

Needless to say, after a 14 hour shift, coming home and seeing this email made me quite possibly one of the happiest people around right now. I'm a music fan as well as a work for free journalist as you all know; as far as I am concerned the more I can help a band out the better; just getting to shoot shows/do interviews/ and say thanks for everything is all I need really.

Tomorrow there will be much rejoicing, in the form of vodka.

I figured I'd have to tell you guys the good news first.

WOOO! Christ on a bike! :hotjump:

 

[Fenrir13]

hehe...thanks guys. It means a lot. It'll be my 4th in person interview by the look of this; so I might need the luck, hehe...at least it will be easy for me to deliver the gift(the booze, hehe) I wanted to! No band I appreciate will be stuck drinking the cheap swill the venues supply if I can help it! (unless they LIKE said cheap swill...)

 

[COBabe]

really cool!!! good luck!

 

[MagSec4]

Veery nice!
I told ya

[BodomiC]

lucky you

This will make you more, hmm, famous and esteemed photographer, or even photoreporter.

 

[EagleFlyFree]

holy shit congratulations! i'm sure you'll all have a kickass time hehe
looking forward to reading that interview!

 

[~metal_maiden~]

Congratulations!!! Have fun!!!

 

[Fenrir13]

thanks again! hehe...I have a good collection of questions to ask. I hope to be able to snap a couple photos of whoever I'm interviewing to add to the interview. Rest assured i"ll be on it transcribing it that night.

i'm just happy CM decided to support the little guy here. Usually for big shows(IE headlining) the only people that get passes are journalists from the big mags. I am still really hyped.

+throws confetti+ good news!

 

[Fenrir13]

Hehe...ok, I pretty much have the questions together...wanted to prepare beforehand as i always do with in person interviews(this being my fourth in person one, and my biggest yet...and I lost track of how many email ones I did, lol.) Of course I will probably come up with other stuff before then.
My main concern is just finding a place to do the interview. My contact said I had to call that day and set a time and a place; I was just going to take the interviewee(s-i don't know who is doing the interviews or how many, probably won't know till day of so I am making the questions pretty much ones answerable by anyone) to a quieter diner(not as much noise in the background on the tape) and treat 'em to lunch over the interview or something. There are a couple cool diners not too far from the venue; during the day neither are too busy(and one has a jukebox that's packed with 80s metal. ) Then again the bus might work just as fine. I figure some free chow for the interviewees might be cool though.

Well closer to crunch time i'll let ya all know how it pans out; and you'll all be the first to read it; don't worry.

congradu-fucking-lations

[Erendis]

Wahou i'm very happy for you !! Congratulations !! That's sooo cool

 

[Malevolence]

Man thats awsome!!

 

[sinerchris]

cool dude. Bring booze..u guys can drink together

 

[Fenrir13]

thank you all once more. I talked to the CM contact today for the first time on the phone; he's very nice and was so helpful to me here. As for booze; well, you all know my plans there. Granted carrying the case and the extra stuff is going to be hard but worth it in the end upon delivery. Hey, to a band that hits the road for weeks carrying 30 pounds a few blocks is nothing.
