Recorded, impromptu, at Irene's Pub on Bank Street in Ottawa on June 7th, 2012 during a PAB2012 Eve meetup.
Decoder Ring for the Conversation Table
Bob Goyetche @bobgoyetche - "In the era where he's wearing this crazy wig..."
Scarborough Dude @scarboroughdude - "He's the only guy who had Jack Kerouac on."
Adam Gratrix @transpondency - "That was a time when television was a new medium."
and me @anthonymarco
We're talking holiday television, food, service, movies, and more conversation than you could shake a pointed stick at... or unpointed for that matter.
Wherein Mike and Anth talk sabbaticals, "retro", pregnant pauses, wildlife, smart meters, Quora, and Occupying Wall Street.
Mike gets endlessly diverted from wanting to talk Cherry Coke by Anth who wants him to be a Pepper.
In which Mike is bedazzled and Anth is befuddled and the topics range from anti-sports to nuts.
Mike and Anth discuss transitions and moving toward the future.
Wherein Mike thought about going somewhere more serious... and then we started talking about cartoons and toys.
A 4:30am relaxed chat between Mike and Anth at PAB2011. Perhaps there was a little bit of alcohol involved. Perhaps there was a little bit of feeling good about the weekend. Perhaps Anth didn't notice the handheld mics weren't actually recording and instead it was the laptop mic. And perhaps, in retrospect, it doesn't really matter.
Wherein Mike and Anth are not drunk, and speak of things where work flows and shit happens and how to not write an eBook.
