I’m not dead, I’m just hella busy

I didn’t make it to The Fudgery this weekend as promised, so my challenge goes untended, and my latest experiment languishes.

I am le sad (as opposed to le tired).

But I’ll be going there this Saturday, I uberpromise.

This week I finish writing my own parts for my First Attempt.  I’ll record them this weekend to finish up Step Five: The Framing.  Next week I’ll begin the next step (Step Six: The Gathering) by talking to my mother and siblings.  From there’s it is aunts, uncles, cousins and a grandmother.  Talking, talking, talking.  So many words will make something so focused and direct.

I’m basically an editor.  Or maybe a distiller.  I like that.

Give me your stories, friends.  I shall distill them until they are a most interesting and intoxicating brew.

Today: fudge and singing!

Posted in Research & Development, Update tagged , , , , at 8:30 am by Kyle Kratky

Today I’m picking up a new endeavor.  I’m going to go do some recording at a local place called The Fudgery, where people make fudge in a most over-the-top manner.  These employees stir, fold and toss fudge as they make it right before customers’ eyes.  They sing and entertain.  I will be interviewing employees and people in the crowd.  I hope to have a little audio piece cobbled together by the end of the weekend.

This should satisfy the challenge given to me to talk to total strangers.

Check back for some audio and photos.

After my previous post featuring a piece about snow, someone gave me a challenge.
