One of the most enthusiastic people we hung out with on Sunday, when we passed out about 70 of our CDs, was ex-veteran Now. Now loves the camera. When we walked up to him initially, he thought we were nothing but trouble, but after a few minutes, we were all pretty friendly. We took about 20 minutes worth of video, and could have stayed there longer talking to him. Check out some of our interview below, and a few facts here:
Name: Now
Age: in his own words, "older than dirt"...err, umm...I mean 29
Interests: Philosophy
Came to Austin: 1996
Favorite Music: Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Blues Image,
Some of his tattoos: panther, Native American Princess, Zapatia, Viking woman, a colorful snake, "my chica," and a few more in, questionable places.
Dislikes: The movies Carrie and The Exorcist.
Other: He said he wanted to tell the world about Forty Days for Life, an organization that he is actively involved with. He quoted Snagglepuss in our interview..."Put em up, put em up, stage right, stage left!"
His name is verrrryy conducive to puns, so....Bye, NOW! (Who lovingly told us to get the hell out of his life :))
Stop by and see him around I-35 and Woodland, say shellooo, and pick up a Magic Militia CD. As a reminder, Now keeps any money that you give him for the CDs!
Currently, CD's are also at 12th and 35, Lake Austin Blvd. and Mopac, and Oltorf and 35. More locations and interviews to follow!
happy trails,
calliope musicals
