Thursday we had our second interview with James Moody (owner of the Mohawk, Transmission Entertainment). This time around he was joined by Graham Williams (also Transmission Entertainment). It's been about two months since we last met, so there was a lot to discuss about the Live Music Task Force and everything else in town.
I couldn't get a photo during the interview since I was filming with one of the cameras.
Revisiting someone we've spoken with before gave us a more linear sense, I think, of how the story we're following has progressed in the past two months. There was a specific place in time and events that took place that we now followed up on, and a progression between the "then" and the "now."
The next day we spoke with Paul Oveisi, owner of Momos on 6th street and chair of the Live Music Task Force. It's so interesting to me how many different things people have their hand in. For a town that seems very relaxed and mellow, there are a lot of people here who do what seems like an immense amount of work all at once. Paul not only chairs the Task Force, owns Momos and is there most nights, he's managed bands and is involved with the music scene very actively. Maybe because everything here is so chill that it's possible to do all these things at once -- less stress and less crunch time opens up more space for involvement.

Tonight we're filming the {{{sunset}}} show at the Salvage Vanguard Theatre. Tomorrow we have an interview with reps from SIMS and HAAM in the morning, and in the afternoon we're interviewing Perry Lorenz, a very influential developer in town. He's taking us up to the Spring condo, which is still under construction (we get to wear hard hats and everything!), giving us an interview up there and maybe even letting us get some nice shots of the city during magic hour. I predict beautiful pictures tomorrow....
