Oooh. Mel from A Wild Young Under-Whimsy was in the paper again today. Yay Mel! She so rules! Made me wanna go to Virginia Beach. It sounds so nice the way she described it - "a comfortable mixed-race city in the southern US state of Virginia." Mmmm. Good. I was just wondering, though, did you actually talk to NERD for your article? If you did, you must dish. But it seemed like yours was more of a background piece, deploying your pop-cultural expertise to get people up to scratch on the Pharrell et al phenomenon, with quotes from other sources. Is this the case? I'm just interested. I'm trying to figure out how to do this journalism thingo without actually talking to people. S'probably futile.
