1. If you could invite 5 writers to martini night (dead, alive, dismembered, whatever), who would they be and why? 2. Your mission to bring Tango Awesomeness everywhere--parties, conferences, etc.--seems to be succeeding thus far. Where would you stage your awesomest tango demonstration yet, if plausibility eloped with feasibility? 3. Fondest memory from working at the GP? 4. Funniest "wtf, Bloomington is SMALL" experience? 5. Where do you see yourself in ten year? (feel free to appropriate any surrealist or even magical realist vibes from the last question and write me something genre bending!)
1. Maybe you get asked this a lot, I dunno, but I'm genuinely curious: who are your favorite artists, or perhaps, whose art influences you the most? 2. What is the weirdest place you've ever traveled to, visited, or lived in? 3. You're given the chance to pass a new constitutional amendment: what is it? 4. Do you prefer to work alone, in the quiet, surrounded by people or music, or under which conditions? 5. If you could be granted unlimited resources and time to learn any language, which would you learn?
You're a tough one, because I've known you for so long...
1. What is your favorite work by Dundes? 2. You're offered unlimited funding to go photograph the scenic landscape and people of... somewhere. Where would you go, and why? 3. What's one thing you'll miss about Bloomington? 4. Invite four folklorists, living or dead, to your house for a meal... who do you invite, what do you cook, and what wine (or other alcohol) do you serve with the meal? 5. What book would you make everybody read? (broadly phrased on purpose)
The last set of questions I had to come up with were difficult because I'd known the person for so long, and I suspect that coming up with questions for you will be difficult for the opposite reason...
1. Which writers do you admire, but not necessarily seek to emulate? 2. What is the best meal you've ever had? 3. You get to plan a conference! (lucky you, haha) What's the theme you choose, where do you hold it, and who's your keynote speaker? 4. Where did you grow up? Would you go back and change anything about that location if you could? 5. Do you have any vices? (yes, you could be a tease and just say "yes," but a description would be interesting too!)
1. What got you into gaming? 2. It's your birthday, and you get to do anything you want... what do you choose? 3. What's your favorite smell? 4. I know you don't live in Bloomington... when was the last time you visited here, and what did you do? 5. What's the most challenging thing you've ever done?
