My name is Steven, I'm 26, I live in Ann Arbor, and I've been obsessed with RH since I happened upon IODOT and subsequently saw RH play with the V3 at the Magic Bag in Ferndale, MI in the autumn of 2006. This idea has been brewing for a while, but I've finally found the courage to get started and see where it takes me: I want to submit a proposal for a 33 1/3 book about IODOT, and I want to start by writing a zine-style pamphlet about the album. Here's where y'all come in. Firstly, taking a cue from the wonderful 33 1/3 book about GBV's Bee Thousand, I want to include testimonials from fellow fans. I have a few ideas about how to put an interesting twist on that trope, but first I'd like to know if any of you fine folks would be interested. Also, I'm curious if you know anyone who has attempted this sort of venture before and how it panned out. Lastly, I'm wondering if any of you have a sense of how perceptive RH might be to conducting interviews for the book. I (embarrassingly) handed him a collection of my musical demos a few years back and got no reply, so I'm worried that A) I've already blown my chances with him and B) he's too cagey to respond to unsolicited inquiries in the first place. I look forward to whatever input you might have! P.S. I haven't seen any talk of The Man Upstairs on here. In fact, there hasn't been much discussion at all lately. What did you think of it? - -SS ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V19 #305 ********************************
