7:14am<\/strong>: I’ve been awake for 2 hours now. I’m on the radio this morning, across Canada, talking about the Iron Man movie opening today and promoting good comics and Free Comic Book Day. So far I’ve done interviews with local morning show hosts in Thunder Bay and Sudbury. Next up, Quebec City, Victoria, and Edmonton.<\/p>\n

I don’t think you understand what I’m willing to do for the comics<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you, like me, are awake and staring at the Internet, you can track me down at:<\/p>\n

Quebec City at around NOW.<\/p>\n

Victoria, BC at around 7:50am<\/p>\n

Edmonton, AB at around 8:00am<\/p>\n

7:20am: <\/strong>Okay, I just finished the Quebec City interview, I think that was my favourite so far. I forgot to mention that they’ve been following my segment with Toronto band Moxy Fruvous’ version of the “Spider-Man” cartoon theme, which is kind of hilarious. Maybe it’s only funny because I’m on like 4 hours sleep.<\/p>\n

I just realized I’ve given Frank Miller about 5 grand worth of free advertising in the last few hours. Well, him and Marjane Satrapi, so that kind of balances out.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

7:58am: <\/strong>It turns out that the Victoria interview was pre-recorded. It’s going to be airing at 6:15am local time, or 9:15 eastern time.<\/p>\n

I’m on hold with them right now for the interview in Edmonton, but the news is on. I imagine I’ll be on air real soon in Edmonton.<\/p>\n

8:07am:<\/strong> Just finished the last interview, and it was pre-recorded so I’ll actually get to listen to it! Alright! Here’s hoping I didn’t “um, uh” too much. I think it’ll be on in the next half hour.
\n—<\/p>\n

8:10am: <\/strong>I just remembered, I never linked to my interview on NPR from last week on the New York Comic Con. I was on NPR’s Bryant Park Project<\/em> and it was a pretty good time and interview. You can check it out at:<\/p>\n

8:23am: <\/strong>I am listening to me.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

8:30am: <\/strong>Fifth time’s the charm. I rocked that one pretty good.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

8:31am: <\/strong>I’m trying to decide if I want to stay up until 9:15am and listen to myself in Victoria, BC, or go home and sleep for a few more hours before I have to come back to work at 11am. I’ll probably stay up, but I think I owe myself a coffee and a muffin, at the very least, so I’m gonna run out and do that and try and get back for 9:15am…<\/p>\n

Oh, and since I won’t be updating for about 30 minutes, check out that Moxy Fruvous Spider-Man<\/em> theme song at Youtube to pass some time:<\/p>\n

8:57am: <\/strong>…and I’m back. 15 minutes until I’m on again. It doesn’t look like any of these shows are archived anywhere, so I figure I’ll go over my key talking points for those of you stumbling on this in my archives, months and years later, wondering what the hell I’m talking about with all of this:<\/p>\n
