Last night was seriously fun at the Chatterbox,guys! One favorite thing that I learned during the interview was that, during the show, the script that they put into the manila envelope is actually the original version of the script that they submitted to the festival, and that Jeff thumbs through it each night and often sees pieces that have subsequently been cut/changed/updated. I LOVED that bit of trivia and the incredibly sweet expression that he had on his face when he told it. There were lots of nice moments like that, and it was amazing for me to sit at a table--and indeed in a room full of people--who [potentially cheesy yet heartfelt use of language coming up] cherish these people and this work as much as I do.
Susan's interview is just totally awesome. I can just hear her saying every word and she seems exactly like the warm, articulate, caring person who greets you at the stage door (as did Hunter and Jeff when they told their stories last night). At our table before the show, we were discussing reasons why [tos] resonates with so many people (particularly teens and twenty-somethings), and I think the fact that these guys all seem so genuine is definitely another one of those reasons.
And Mo Rocca Roccs.
The last vampire is the mother of all vampires and that is the vampire of despair. It'll wake you up at 4am to say things like:
Who do you think you are kidding?
You look like a fool!
No matter how hard you try, you'll never be good enough!
Why is it that if some dude walked up to me on the subway platform
and said these things, I'd think he was a mentally ill as-h-le,
but if the vampire inside my head says it,It's the voice of reason!
DIE VAMPIRE, DIE--[SUSAN in tos]
