Dinky's Docket

A couple of years ago, my friend Todd (He's pictured earlier interviewing Marilyn Monroe) and I produced a show called the End Zone with a local radio station. It was a half hour music and interview show featuring national acts. We shot it in a tiny conference room into which we'd cram the band, the crew, the dj's and about 20 contest winners. We did around 13 episodes before it was cancelled. We had Deep Blue Something, Shawn Colvin, American Hi-Fi, David Gray, and a bunch of other bands on. It was hard work--I shot and edited and directed the thing--but it was a hoot. It made coming to work great fun. I'm posting some pictures of it here.

Pete Yorn was just about the nicest guy you could meet. He seemed a little awestruck about all the attention he was getting:



The Glen Phillps show wasn't our best but it's my favorite because I'm such a huge fan of Toad the Wet Sprocket:



Tori Amos had an abrasive bodyguard who put us all off a little. When we learned she had been assaulted and raped by a fan we changed our attitudes. Tori, herself, was very nice and accomodating. This is opposed to David Gray whose diva-like antics caused the dj's interviewing him to talk for months about what a jerk he was. This picture of Tori Amos includes the new backdrop we had had made just one episode before we were cancelled.
