Cruising Time

Last week, I worked on some interviews for Out-and-About Magazine and also Cruising Magazine. For Cruising, I'm writing a story about Joe Troilo, a member of Mid-Atlantic Street Rod Association. As I've said before, I don't know the first thing about automobiles, but through writing these articles for Cruising, I've enjoyed learning about the world of Motor Heads. The interviews have really been interesting. Mr. Troilo knew everything inside and out about high-performance cars and street rods. It was fascinating to sit back and here him talk about his life with street rods. He was very passionate about the subject, and of course, that always makes for a fun interview. I also interviewed Jon Springer last week for O&B. Springer is a writer who just came out with a book, "Mets by the Numbers." While I am a die-hard Phillies fan and absolutely hate the Mets, I really enjoyed this interview because it was sports' related. Springer graduated from Delaware in 1989 and even worked at The Review. He currently lives in Brooklyn, NY. But I enjoyed talking to him because it showed me that even the most talented writers had to start from where I am now.

I also finished writing the gigs calendar for the month of April. The deadline for O&B is quickly approaching.
