One week from tonight we get on an airplane pointed north, making our annual trek to The City of Wonderful Water for one of the biggest, oddest college radio fundraisers you could ever imagine. We’ve been swamped with preparation for the event (which is part of the reason I’ve been relying of shorter posts in this space of late).

I’ve previously noted the documentary that was made about this contest and my team’s surprisingly prominent place in it. Turns out this documentary will be showing on Wisconsin Public Television fairly soon, and, as part of that airing, one of the directors will appear on a half-hour talk show about film. That interview is already posted in full on WPT’s Website.

He discusses my team–my cohorts, my friends–a couple of times during the course of this interview. He’s very laudatory and enthusiastic, but it’s so very strange to have this team, started somewhat ironically almost twenty years ago, raised to such prominence is discussion of this event that, while somewhat obscure, is huge in the city where I attended college.

We’re already wiped out by the preparations for our upcoming trip. Now this entirely unexpected interview has made it all a little more unreal.
