Thanks to those who offered insights for the aforementioned story. I’ve submitted a draft and am happily awaiting editing suggestions. I’ll share the final when I’ve got it in my hot little hands.
In other news: through hook-ups with the glorious ladies of Bust, I am heading to Iron Maiden on Monday evening. See, I was planning to go anyway, but I kept putting off buying tickets because I hoped something like this would happen. That and, well, it’s on a Monday night and I need my beauty sleep. I also need to not deal with traffic. I wish there was an easy way to bike to Auburn that didn’t take three hours (or require weaving through that traffic I hate).
In other writing news, I’m working with NYC photographer Angela Boatwright on a photo/interview piece for (again, the aforementioned) Bust. So far, I’m aiming to interview five or six fabulous metal-fan ladies that she photographs. She’s awesomely talented and it has been killer to collaborate with her so far, so check out her stuff!
Finally, I leave for Thailand in approximately two weeks. This means I need to 1) procure supplies [like film] and 2) figure out what I’m doing while there for the trip’s second half. I really want to plan as little as possible and take opportunities that arise. But still, knowing how to get around and having connections are important when traveling anywhere. When I get back, I’m writing for a couple of publications about what it is I did there, so I’d better, you know, do things.
