Aaron Sorkin interview

[iainjclark]

For those who haven't seen this link on uk.media.tv.west-wing there's a decent interview with Aaron Sorkin, post-leaving the show, here. One allusion to the plot of a late season 5 episode, but otherwise no spoilers

Yay, Aaron! Thanks for that.

So now I'm tempted to get tickets.

[coalescent]

I'm also tempted.

[immortalradical]

I think we have the beginning of a plot.

[itchyfidget]

Damn you all. Can't see me having the time or money. Thanks, Iain, for the link.

[immortalradical]

Can't see me having the time or money.

Sheer weakness! Beg! Borrow! Throw sickies!

[itchyfidget]

You're right - what was I thinking? It's Aaron Sorkin.

[immortalradical]

Boss, the wrinkle-browed pessimist academic is in.

[itchyfidget]

*watches you play guitar*

[immortalradical]

Best. Team. Ever.

[majuran]

... need a point man?

[immortalradical]

I think we have the beginnings of a team.

[coalescent]

At some point, you're going to say you love it when a plan comes together, aren't you?

I have no idea if I can actually afford these tickets, by the way.

[immortalradical]

My plan: you're having a barbeque in August. We see the play the night before or the night after this barbeque, thus making it the bestest party ever. [1]

I am ignoring your nonsense about money.

[1] Move over, Hoggtoberfest!

[coalescent]

Night before (which would be Friday 19th) works way better for me. But I fear the costs.

[immortalradical]

I will research this evening and report back.

[itchyfidget]

Ha! There's my get-out. I'm doing Clearing that day and we'll finish at 5. No way, no-how, am I getting to Londres for an evening of Sorkinesque entertainment.

Also, it's cheaper to damn you all from a safe distance.
