Dear Michael:

We are doing a documentary on Goths in Vancouver. We are going to speak to Karen Burda of Langara College because she's written about Gothic and Horror in popular culture.

However, we have no Goths to talk to. This is very short notice, but do you know anyone who may step forward for an interview. We are looking especially for super articulate individuals who take being Goth seriously.

We use humour in our show, but we have no intention being judgmental or making fun of the scene. However, we do have misconceptions and questions.

Please give me a ring so we can talk at 604-662-6981.

Thanks, jj

I was interviewed by Karen for her article. This would be for the programme "Out There". I've called and talked to JJ's co-host Alex and dropped Isaac's, Daevina's (he had a hard time with "Maleficent" lol), and Kim's names and mentioned I've put the word out with some other scenesters. They know I gave out the number so any of you can call directly or go through me, whatever you prefer. From the sounds of it they will be checking out Sanctuary this Sunday as part of their background research.

You want to talk about "supporting the scene"? How about positive exposure on national radio!!

Hmmm. I remeber when Karen interviewed you & I for that article - little while ago! I was wondering if it was ever going to surface. I am *very* busy this month ... but if I can fit this in somewheres, it could definitely be an interesting experience ...

Yeah. My month is pretty nutty for me as well, but my enourmous ego won't let me pass up my fifteen minutes of fame ;-) I pitched you in particular. Give them a call, they are interested in talking to you and Daevina at Skank this Sunday if you give them a go to do so.

They are doing the background research right now. I don't know when the taping would be.

Heh. Amusing stuff. I recall in the interview with Karen a big segment where we discussed the uber-level of gothdom - where people are so heavily enmeshed in goth, they somewhow no longer feel comfortable with the term. Am I goth? I don't frikkin think so. On the other hand, HELL YEAH, I'd have to admit the label fits pretty damn well. Same for Daevina, you, Kim, and all us people who try to actually make something of our professional, creative and artistic desires.

I find this very interesting...

And actually quite pleasing that they have hit upon the "older" goth sect in Vancouver.

Just imagine if they had hit upon the "baby" goth sect or even the "mansonites", how utterly different the article would be. Shows like Ricki and Sally Jesse Raphael definately come to mind.

The term "goth" gets more and more difficult to define as we get older and older. Strange indeed.

Count Langsuir & I in

I actually just got off the telly w/Alexis..he was asking a few questions, but we'll be picking up the interview later...more details and not enough time.
Sounds kinda cool.

[mbarrick.livejournal.com]

«I am not goth»

[valerian.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a lot of fun! No idea what I'd say, but I can be witty as hell when prompted...
Count me in :)

if they want to talk to some fossilgoths you can probably count me in (after we get back from holidays) if they are interested.

I've always wanted to meet Karen Budra. Her husband is my favourite prof at SFU, and he's always talking about how she's into the "same stuff" as me. :P
