Last Friday, an interview with Robbi and me was posted on JawboneTV, a site devoted to “the good, the bad, and the bad-ass of story in the digital age.” We met the guy who runs the site at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival last spring, and he was interested enough in what we do to ask a few pointed questions, to which we responded. Our egos were temporarily enlarged upon discovering that not only was our interview featured as Jawbone’s lead story, but that the editor decided to publish the entire interview in spite of its inarguable longness.
We’re left feeling gratified and understood, but also with the nagging question of why, exactly, Jawbone took note of our work. We’d be happy with “good,” thrilled with “bad-ass,” but must also consider the possibility that we’ve been featured merely to round out the necessary quota of “bad.” May the mystery endure.
And if you yearn to know us better, have a read.
This was posted on the first day of our long weekend in the hinterlands of PA (more on that later) – I was dismayed to realize that anyone coming our way via Jawbone was going to arrive at my post about my hair, which I couldn’t change because we were out of cell and internet range. Quelle horreur! (for you non-French-Canadian readers out there, that means, “Oh Lordy!”) Anyway. Now anyone who clicks through will get stuck in an Idiots’Books-JawboneTV feedback loop. Much better.
Wonderful interview! Makes me want all the books I don’t have.
Got my poster on Saturday. It’s sick! Which means I feel a bit sicker for having it. Thank you.
That was an AWESOME interview. Robbi, I’ve never met you, but I feel like I know you a little bit now. How could he not have printed the entire dialogue?
Wait, Jennifer. Don’t you mean “sick”?
I’m glad you liked the interview. The interview happened between packing for Alaska and getting a ton of projects finished before I left, so we got a little loopy. I’m glad it didn’t come off as annoying and self-indulgent in the interview. Or, if it did, that you still liked it anyway.
And, welcome to Idiots’Books! :D
