We were on CBS! But wait, it’s local. Not national.
So, this’ll be my last post about the proposal I promise*.
A week ago, a reporter from CBS Chicago News contacted Britton at the gallery. He asked if he could speak to me and Britton being the stand up guy that he is took the call and didn’t pass on my info straight away.
I spoke to the reporter later that day, and being the media whore that I am, I immediately agreed to an interview the following Tuesday. We arranged to meet back at the gallery. It was my first visit back to the space after the event.
Well, I’d love to tell you that it was a gritty, tough piece of Pulitzer Prize winning journalism. And I’d love to tell you that it wasn’t a classic, fluffy, heartwarming, Human Interest piece. But I can’t.
That being said, my favourite part the video is when he brings up one of the ‘viewing frames’ while his voice over talking. It was a sequence he shot while we were standing together, ‘just being ourselves’. Painfully embarrassing to film, as we had to just stand there, basically cuddling and laughing at nothing in particular, while the camera rolled.
The direct link to the video is here. Watch out for the closing line from Vince. Priceless.
*If I get on David Letterman, all bets are off.
A quick update on the proposal btw. The original post has now gotten over 450 comments and the video on YouTube has now been watched over 325,000 times. Holy crap. It’s still amazing to me the enormously positive response.
