Ooooooh, Look, You Virtually Know Someone Interviewed Within the Virtuesphere
Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 8:28PM Interview with Skedaddle Media on Book the Second:
To get a good mic read the A/C was off. In Alabama. In May. I blame this for the general incoherentness and rapid blinkage.

Meh. Needs more baton waving.
Just kidding. Great job Miss Tink. Short but very sweet.
I love how she rolls her eyes while talking about Ohio State, it is so great to see your funny personality come through while talking about a serious subject Mary Beth.
...I'm sorry, was she talking in this vid?
Wha'd she say? Some hetero woman out there tell me what she said.
Ah.
I now understand the Great I CANNOT BELIEVE JASON THE DRUM MAJOR DID NOT SAY HELLO Controversy a bit better now.
Saint Mary's Shoutout!
And is that a SMC French Cross I see around your neck?
"And is that a SMC French Cross I see around your neck?"
It is :) A graduation gift from my parents. I wear it for most readings and interviews.
So great! Yay, MB! I recall a rumor of you visiting and/or reading in Boston this summer. I hope that happens! I would love to come witness your excellence.
"the Great I CANNOT BELIEVE JASON THE DRUM MAJOR DID NOT SAY HELLO Controversy"
...the what now?
Hi EmTheReader! That is in July I think. We should have an Eastern Seaboard The Reader Carpool Party!
BELLES!
"the Great I CANNOT BELIEVE JASON THE DRUM MAJOR DID NOT SAY HELLO Controversy" ...the what now?
It's like this Lilac The Reader, One of The Readers asked in the Tasting Room if MB had talked to Jason The Drum Major before/after Drum Major Tryouts. She said (basically) "No, and I didn't expect to as he was kind of busy and had probably people in from out of town and I didn't want to be all up in his grill." And then Jason The Drum Major stopped in and said (basically, I'm layering in my own disbelieving testosterone here a slight bit), "Yeah sorry I did not take advantage of the opportunity to celebrate my win which shall be talked of for generations by crushing your luscious feminine body against mine in a purely platonic DM-Author hug, I was kind of busy" and the male The Readers were aghast and the female The Readers yelled at us for being aghast and MB yelled at everybody for yelling and we took it outside.
And THAT is the Great I CANNOT BELIEVE JASON THE DRUM MAJOR DID NOT SAY HELLO Controversy.
Wow that was an awesome interview!
Plus our DM's have her trained up real good! Did you hear how she said "THE Ohio State University Marching Band"?! LOL
Someone on the thread with the vid of MB interviewing Jason The Ridiculously Young Drum Major and Matt The Badass pointed out that she was nothing like the poised, articulate girl they saw at a reading. I haven't had the pleasure but I think this must be the young lady the commenter was talking about. No um's, no stuttering, nothin'.
"Plus our DM's have her trained up real good! Did you hear how she said "THE Ohio State University Marching Band"?! LOL"
Plus she correctly identifies the SOUSAPHONE (not tuba)!
"Someone on the thread with the vid of MB interviewing Jason The Ridiculously Young Drum Major and Matt The Badass pointed out that she was nothing like the poised, articulate girl they saw at a reading"
Went back and watched it. You're right, night and day. LOL she was probably in terror of Matt The Badass' overwhelming manliness.
"I think this must be the young lady the commenter was talking about. No um's, no stuttering, nothin'."
Hahahahaha I went and dug it up and it looks like she almost even forgets Our Jason's name for a second! Hahahaha
Here it is, for you noobs: http://tinyurl.com/3v39fpo
Alex Who Talks Real Pretty if you're out there, first of all... you rock. I found your video too and you're a boss. And now I have to wonder which Mary Beth you have met, as she seems to lose all composure when in the presence of Ohio State Drum Majors.

LMFAO! Especially since she was the interviewer and supposed to be the one "in control," instead Jason and Matt are like, "Whatever." And then in this clip here MB is the one being interviewed, you'd think she'd be way more nervous here. Instead it's the opposite.
This video will keep me company while you're off on your trips :-)
"Alex Who Talks Real Pretty if you're out there, first of all... you rock. I found your video too and you're a boss."
+infinity
MB you look so glam!
Alex Who Talks Real Pretty, if you're out there, we would love to see more twilvids from you :) Finally caught up with the weekend thread and it was completely amazing to read your comments.
PERSON RUNNING WEBSITE FOR FREE AND VIRTUALLY ADLESS: Hey everybody, here's a video of me talking about the book you guys love to talk about.
THE READERS: Bwahahahahaha, remember this OTHER video where she looks like an idiot?!
...And that's why this is the best website on the face of the Earth.
1:46 minutes... out of how many hours?
Short but sweet.
20 minutes, RPJ :)
But I now understand why politicians and executives always complain about deceptive editing. I talked about nothing but cupcake recipes and the Battle of San Juan Hill the entire time, and this is what they released.
RPJaaaaaaayy, what up amigo?!
"You never know where new life is going to come from."
Also prophetic in addition to the last post, considering the delightful news issuing from Columbus these days.
"instead Jason and Matt are like, "Whatever." "
I for one think this interview would have been improved by them standing behind her, arms crossed and smirking.
@ langrish: Aqui nomás ;)
Re. deceptive editing, you should emulate Stephen Colbert's approach from when he was running for president :P
