First off, I promised to let you know how the interview with the local paper went. It didn’t. I called Patrick and then switched over to make a three-way call to the reporter at the scheduled time, and got his voicemail. We gave it a few minutes and tried again. After getting his voicemail a second time, I decided to leave a message. He never called back. I have no idea what happened.
At about five, I gave up on hearing from him and decided to head down to Starbucks for a cup and some site reading. Not long after I arrived, Patrick called me and told me that Tom Sowa (who wrote the article about us for the Spokesman last week) had just called and was looking to have a chat with us. He put me on hold and got Tom on the phone.
As I packed up and headed to the north side of town for a haircut, Patrick and I had a 15 minute interview about the Myst movie. We didn’t get the interview we planned for, but another one just fell into our laps. It all worked out in the end.
One of the first things Tom said to us on the phone was that when he spoke with Rand it was very apparent that he was highly enthusiastic about what we are doing. “He’s game”. This is always good to hear.
We talked with Tom, spoke about the state of the project at present, how we came to this point and what was next. All and all, it was a pretty good interview, I think. Patrick and I both felt pretty good when we hung up with Tom. We chatted for a few minutes and then hung up with each other.
Just before Tom let us go, he informed us that he would be posting an audio clip from his interview with Rand from last week as well as an audio clip of the interview we were just finishing up.
Have a listen. We’re curious to know what you guys think.

Awesome, thanks for posting the clips! Sound quality’s a little low, but still audible. I wish it was longer, I wanted to hear more LOL!
Sorry to hear your original interview didn’t happen… I can’t believe he stood you up! How unprofessional.
