Wrapping up my first week as the new intern here at Vancouver Is Awesome, and it has been insanely rad! Amongst the posting, emailing, and research doing, I have also got to experience some really awesome stuff! Including a media tour of the new Ravishing Beasts exhibit at the museum, and accompanying Bob as he filmed Nardwuar interviewing the 3-piece dance-punk band "Gossip" last night at Scratch records! I had the chance to shoot some pictures before the band had to rush to sound-check before their show at the Commodore last night!
Bob and Nardwuar:
Bob Filming the Interview:
The 2 members there were Beth Ditto (vocals) and Nathan Howdeshell (guitar/bass). They were enthusiastic, very friendly and especially impressed with all the personal items Nardwuar managed to get his hands on for the interview.
I was really awesome to be a part of the interview! The full video will be posted soon.
As far as first weeks go, this job has been GREAT and I'm really stoked to be a part of the VIA team!!
