Interview with the Vamp Ire

[badatapologies]

Those of you trawling the web for some engaging human-interest reading material could do worse than check out this excellent interview with yours truly by columnist and novelist Jake Anderson-Minshall. Jake's an excellent writer and interviewer and was more than patient with me over the past few weeks as I've been working on the supersecret film stuff.

Jake's column appears nationally and in numerous regional LGBT publications, including San Francisco's Bay Times (click the link for a slightly different version of the interview) and Columbus' Outlook Weekly, so be on the lookout in your area. At the very least, I'll expect chaptal and/or my other C-bus pals to mail me a copy for the scrapbook. Not sure if Jake's interview with me hits each publication this week or if they have different schedules (since it's syndicated), so as they say in 1967, check your local listings.

capsuper will be pleased to learn the Loon News got a name-check.

One teensy clarification, lest I never get a date again: while the Bay Times version correctly notes I'm an equal opportunity employer, the casual reader of the other version could be forgiven for inferring I'm a lesbian. Crestfallen gentlemen of America, take heart: it ain't necessarily so. While I do still sometimes fancy the ladies, I assure you that I fancy the boys somewhat more frequently. So do continue to pine for me, lads. All is not lost. I'd dig out my adorable I LOVE COCK t-shirt for emphasis, but at this point I'll never be able to pry it away from Larry Craig.

Also, if you are thinking this is the beginning of some kind of pre-production media blitz, you are a sharp character indeed.

That's pretty cool - and I hope this secret stuff you speak of is great news!

I Love Cock (err, referring to your alleged shirt, jeez) - is that the same type of shirt Bjork used to have? As in the Coke parody?

That Larry Craig press conference was probably the most absurd thing I've seen on tv since Ted Haggart. Actually reminded me of some Little Britain sketches that were similar...

[aila76.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah I just remembered the Coke parody is "enjoy Coke," so not the same as this alleged filthy "adorable" tshirt of yours.

"alleged"? Are you implying I would say something in this blog that's not categorically, unequivocally accurate? I am outraged. OUTRAAAAGED.

Okay, fine, just between you and me there is no such garment. But my marketing goons are working on it as we speak.

[chaptal.livejournal.com]

i'll seek it out.

that interview? awesome.

GO CAITIE!

COOL! That's great, and great pictures too!

The main LGBT pub here doesn't seem to carry this author but I'll see if there are others that might, and if so send it to you.

I'm so thrilled for you with all this! I feel like I can say "I knew you when" :)

[mcbrennan.livejournal.com]

Thanks! So far it's all just in the planning stages, it could all go POOF at any second, but it's fun and I hope it leads to good things. Hopefully I won't screw it up.

You CAN say you knew me when. You so know me, and it's still "when". :)

After this, I looked you up on IMDB. There you are: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1785087/

Born on Valentine's Day... of course!

I am so excited, in a 'cross your fingers' way for you.

[mcbrennan.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yes--most definitely still at the "cross your fingers" stage, but things are looking promising right now. :)

"... I assure you that I fancy the boys somewhat more frequently ..."

*sigh*

[mcbrennan.livejournal.com]

Pish. You're just teasing me now--you moved to Chicago!

Still, I suppose I'm likely to visit Chicago when the film opens there. :)

Nice article! Congrats!

[mcbrennan.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Um, also, amusingly apropos icon there. Where can I get THAT on a t-shirt?

[revme.livejournal.com]

I KNEW IT!! YOU WERE CHEATING ON ME!!!1

Still, a good interview, though.

There's enough of me to go around...

[mcbrennan.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you've got the in-depth no-holds-barred 10,000 word interview. And I need to finish those follow-up questions. Damn you for asking such complicated things! I have to work today but I'll try and finish 'em tonight and tomorrow. That is...if you're still interested and have not become embittered by this experience. :)

COOL! The Dastardly Communist Plots got a mention!

Somewhere, Dr. Wang is seething. SEETHING.

i am emerging from the swampy depths of incommunicadoland to say yay! the article was great. i sent the link to my mother, because she sometimes asks about you--i've mentioned you to her before, using words like "hollywood" and "award" and "screenwriter" and "really swell person," and since i usually relay information in a somewhat telephone-game jumble, i figured that the article would do a better job at explaining some things than i have. :-)

i'm eMailing you, by the way. i never know which address i should use, but i hope you'll find what i'm sending.

[mcbrennan.livejournal.com]

I am receiving your transmission over the orthicon tube. And have replied to same.

I wonder, but am almost afraid to find out, what your mother will think. At least it will back up my long-ago claim (in my endorsement of Eric) to be an obscure, but marginally verifiable public figure. And to his credit he did not turn out to be the Internet Cannibal everyone feared. However, take a tip from Yoda and don't let him seal you in a block of lucite.

That's a great article and good luck with the movie! Are you going to set up a casting couch so that you can put your t-shirt to good use? ;^)

[mcbrennan.livejournal.com]

That's exactly why I felt it was important to clarify that all actors were welcome on said couch. :-)
