On Thursday night a bunch of folks from Six Apart were in Chicago to have a party and demo their latest product, Vox. I did a post previously about Vox, so it may sound familiar, even though the product is not available to the public until about October. It was awesome to meet everyone from Six Apart and I tried not to be too much of a fangirl to Mena, but a photo of us together was required! I also found it cool to bring together my Chicagoist world with my FeedBurner world with the blogging in Chicago world and throw in Six Apart. Also, Krissy from Six Apart, who I’d been emailling with quite a bit to set up a Chicagoist reader contest, also is the Music Editor at SFist.

ABC7 Interview

Yesterday, Jason Knowles from ABC7 interviewed Chicagoist for a special report he’s doing on Chicago blogs. We met up with him and his camerawoman, Jackie, at Bank One Plaza on the corner of Clark and Monroe. I was super nervous before the interview, but Jason and Jackie were really nice. . .and I had to keep in mind that if I messed up or said something stupid it would most likely be edited out and would never see the light of day.

I was interviewed first. Then Jackie took some group shots of us walking and talking. Next Andrew was interviewed, then Scott and finally Benjy. After the shoot in the Loop, Jason and Jackie went to Andrew’s office with him where they filmed him working and talking with some of his coworkers. Later on in the afternoon they did the same at my office.

Barely anyone was in the office because of the holiday, so when they were like “pretend like you’re talking to your coworkers” I had to grab Muffin and go into our Creative Director, Steve’s, office. Jackie got the camera set up and was like “ok, and go!” Muffin and I walked in and I totally didn’t know what to say. I was like “hey, dude, what’s up?” and Steve responded by saying “What’s up with Client X” and I was like “AHHH! we probably shouldn’t say our client’s names!” Good point. After that Steve saved the day, though, by asking Chris and I somewhat real questions and we were able to maintain a conversation. I hope it doesn’t look too forced. Real interviews are easier than faking conversations with coworkers!

The segment is going from the prospective that Chicagoist isn’t our jobs, it’s something we do in our spare time. I think the segment will first show us at work in our boring cubes and depressing, dimly lit offices.. then will cut to all of us out in the sunshine in the Loop talking about Chicagoist. I’m just guessing here. It will be interested to see the final product, which is supposed to air July 18 or 19. Jason is going to let me know when he’s sure.

Now, bring on the live audience!

Uncle Steve’s Party

December 30th, 2003 · 7 Comments

My dad’s side of the family has it’s roots in the deep south. My uncle very much celebrates this fact and you see it with the decorations in his house. Here are some of the more eccentric – mounted alligator heads. Freaky. Steve threw this holiday party as an excuse (like he needs one!) to cook up a huge slab of prime rib. Cooking is one of his passions and he never disappoints. The party was also for my Aunt Elissa, who was in from Florida, and my cousin Jason who was visiting from Virginia.

My dad is the oldest of eight kids so I have cousins galore (my mom is also one of eight kids). Several of them, including my brother, had babies this year. These are my cousin, Anna’s, twins Colin & Keegan.

Mom and Grandma planted this tree when I was a baby. So this tree and I are the same age. It’s grown quite a bit taller than me. Damn these Norder genes! Mary and Rachelle.
