TV, part II
So we're going to be on TV! They're planning to air the footage on Sunday, May 14. It was a lot of fun. MC (my friend from the class) and I were both very comfortable on camera. It's odd, if you put me on stage in front of thousands of people, I would be nervous, but on camera I'm not at all. However, the teacher was a little nervous, though very articulate.
The cameraman, who was from New Jersey by way of Kansas, said, "These young ladies were terrific...but I want you to be more terrific."
Teacher (mock-pouting): So you didn't think I was terrific?
Cameraman: You were fine, but...let's give it another go. I want you to have that fire in the belly.
!!! She took it in stride.
Anyway, they interviewed MC, the teacher and me first before the teacher's new class came in, and then they took a couple of shots of MC and me with the new class. The new class DID NOT want to be on camera.
Lisa, you might be mentioned on the show...no last name though ;)
There was a gap between the interview and the new class's arrival, so MC and I nipped out to Cafe Bari for a bite to eat. We both had some white bean soup and talked about a wide range of topics, including men and porn. (I won't reproduce that here because it's a family blog ;) We did talk about bachelor parties and how it's a different matter altogether if they're in Vegas as opposed to Scores or Flashdancers. "It's scary!" she said.
MC is also really into the Myers-Briggs; she's an ENFJ and I'm an ENFP. We talked about how writing can be lonely - that's part of the reason I do yoga teaching - and she tries to do as many playdates and stuff as possible. She has 2 young kids who are adorable.
The yoga teacher thing raised a lot of interest. Even the cameraman asked where I taught!
MC and I will be meeting in April to talk about our writing - go over new pages, etc. We're going to meet once a month. She's a really cool person and I'm glad we're still in touch. She is the one who had a party at the karaoke bar. She actually slipped and fell after I left the party, and had to have an x-ray, but she's fine now. "I hope you had fun. I sure did - a little too much fun!" she wrote in a e-mail.
One more thing...the cameraman asked us if we'd like to be filmed in our homes later. I said yes promptly, swept up in the enthusiasm of the moment. He said, "Maybe you'll become famous!" Later, as I walked to Cafe Bari with MC, I was second-guessing that decision. I usually write in my pajamas!

And how exactly did I fit into the conversation? :-)
The teacher was talking about how she called the class "chick lit" because she wanted it to be all women...more supportive environment...and I agreed with her, telling them about the guy's pulling-out-his-fingernails remark. (Not that every guy is like that ;)
Look how many people come to visit. :^)
