I’m typing up todays calls from a laundromat in Little Falls, NJ. I felt like I needed to come to a place with no internet to distract me from really focusing on what each of these unique calls were about because each one was a totally different dynamic from each other. That, and my clothes were absolutely filthy.

The Last Time We Spoke: Nina and I used to...

SXSW EDITION! 3/14-3/19/2012 - Days 15-20
I am home from SXSW, and after a week of absolutely no internet connection, I can finally make a post again. I did make at least 2 calls a day, as per my own rules with this blog, but as luck would have it (referring to my having to transcribe them later) many were voicemails and todays post isn’t as overwhelmingly large as I feared it would be. Saturday, we left Austin, Texas at 8pm, and...

Quick note about the picture above before starting today… Those Mockingbirds made the front page of the national site for The Deli today! (also NYC, but national is linked above, click the pic, same article for both). Really exciting. Woo!

3/7/2012 - Day 8
For two reasons, I only made two calls today. First is that I’ve been feeling that its difficult to really pull together a great write up of some of these calls if I’m rushing to get too many done in a day, so I dont think i’ll be doing many more entries that have tons of calls. Secondly, today I reached “Bird” in my phone book, and my parents are the first two...

3/3, 3/4 & 3/5, 2012 - Days 4, 5 & 6
Monday MEGA-POST! So, I made calls this weekend but didn’t post the blog because I feel like most blogs don’t post on the weekends. Am I right about that? I’m thinking this is how I’ll be doing it from now on, though having serious OCD, I can’t decide if I’m breaking my own rules or not. If I am, someone call me out on it and I’ll do right by you! I will...

March 1, 2012 - Day 2
Before getting started on today’s calls, I want to bring attention to the image above. If you recall from yesterdays entry, I called Mustafah but his number was disconnected and I had noted that he may have moved to Germany. Today, I signed into Facebook to see he that a friend had told him about the blog and that I tried reaching him. Pretty freakin wild huh?
anyway…
