Foiled Guerrilla Interview

I was waiting for a tape to be ready to bring to our mixing session for I Love 1992 around 5:59 this evening. I thought the tape might take awhile so I decided that while I had a little time I would conduct a guerrilla interview with my friend Jason Haitkin. Unfortunately for me I got a phone call about 4 minutes later notifying me that the tape I was awaiting was ready and that I'd have to cut the interview short, rendering this attempt at an interview an utter failure. As a result I will not post it on the interview section as it is incomplete and never really reaches a high point. I don't blame this on Mr. Haitkin. I blame it on my own poor planning. If you're wondering who Jason is. Here's a little background. Jason works for the Fuse network. We interned at VH1 together and sat across from each other as PA's. He's always brutally honest and figured he'd be a really funny interview but alas my shoddy planning skills killed it. Here is the interview up until that point where it collapsed. There will be another guerrilla interview up shortly. But I'm not going to tell you when, that's just what you'd be expecting.

Jason Haitkin shows off his favorite finger.


Evan Kessler: So when did you first realize it was 5:59 on Thursday

Jason Haitkin:
in one minute from now according to my computer

Evan Kessler:
and how did that make you feel?

Jason Haitkin:
like you're talking to me from the future

Evan Kessler:
And as a representative from the future is there anything you'd like to ask me?

Jason Haitkin:
Yes, I can't get my flux capacitor to work, what am I doing wrong?

Evan Kessler:
You're not in a Delorean doing 88mph

Jason Haitkin:
Oh

Jason Haitkin:
I see

Jason Haitkin:
Is this one of those guerilla interviews for your website?

Evan Kessler:
it could be

Jason Haitkin:
Interesting

Evan Kessler:
but seeing as I am about to leave work it could be an abbreviated one

Jason Haitkin:
I see

Jason Haitkin:
Well then shouldn't you be doing work related things before you leave?

Evan Kessler:
interesting

Jason Haitkin:
quite

Evan Kessler:
it would be too abbreviated though to put on the website, maybe I'll get you later

Evan Kessler:
it started off promising

Jason Haitkin:
alrighty then

Evan Kessler:
foiled again

Evan Kessler:
maybe I'll have a not-so guerrilla interview later

Jason Haitkin:
If it wasn't for that meddling work ethic of yours

Evan Kessler:
indeed, but I figured 5:58 was a good time to catch you off guard

Jason Haitkin:
Especially since you said it was 5:59 and claimed to be from the future

Evan Kessler:
anyway, i have to go. Note to self, whenever doing a guerrilla interview, make sure to have time to do the interview
Jason Haitkin: right
Jason Haitkin: till next time
