So, we got the interview, and although we had a few technical issues, everything worked out for the best. Daniel was gracious, thoughtful, and patient with my rambling interview style. He had quite a bit to say about mental health and how it relates to the (some would say) oppressive way our country has matured, psychedelics, and ancient cultures. He also shared some personal stories of his own outer limits. One of my favorite parts was Daniel’s friend Jenny, who inserted herself into the conversation here and there… kept things loose and informal, I thought.
Over the weekend I helped a little with the 2012: Time for Change booth at the Greenfest, mostly talking with random people about a wacky assortment of new-agey topics. All the freaks seemed to gravitate to our corner of the fest. Fun! Had a few good moments with the director, Joao Amorim, about technical stuff involving cameras and mics. It’s nice to meet people who are willing to share their expertise with a relative newcomer.
Hopefully we can get a bit of of the shoot up in the near future. We’re just waiting on a little tape transfer, and then we can get some ‘A’ cam goodness for y’all.
