One of my favorite movies of all time is Willy Wonka. (The original, DAMN YOU TIM BURTON!) Especially the scene where the aptly named 'Mike TV' is tele-ported in a million tiny pieces into the TV set. That's kind of what I felt like last Tuesday when I was on my local FOX affiliate's morning show to talk about Incredible Journey.
Now please keep in mind that I am no stranger to performing. I have been a professional musician since I was 16 years old, and a DJ for the past couple of years. I was confident that I was going to be able to open my mouth and actual words would come out of it. I kept my cool the whole way down to the studio and the 40 minutes that I had to wait until my segment, but as soon as I sat on that pleather couch in front of the cameras I started to sweat. The next four minutes are a hazy blur. I can't remember what I was asked or what I said, except that I called myself a nerd several times. I DO remember that the producers did an awesome job of putting together the story, visuals and all. The feedback from the people who saw it was positive. I won't watch it though. I'll post it as soon as I get the clip, but I swear I won't watch it...ever! Sorry, but I don't want to see my fat face on TV. I'm weird like that.
