Last but not least. We have arrived at my final victim interviewee, Rich of Seldom Sober.
Last summer, Rich embarked on a cross-country move. He decided that instead of having to find a motel room every night, he would instead plan his trip around the invites of hospitable bloggers. He called this project Blogs Across America and Glenn wouldn't give him one bloody insty-link to promote it. But he's not bitter about it. Anyhoo, he stayed here at the Cake Eater Pad on a rainy summer evening, and despite my promises of going and stalking Lileks, we wound up staying in and drinking lots of gin. A good time was had by all, but I had one mother of a hangover the next day.
So, to complete the game, Rich will answer my questions, I will linkie back to them when he's got them done AND he will need to include the rules in his post, so he can grill five of his own commenters, hence continuing the meme.
Here we go.
1. You are a poet, which is a rare thing in this day and age. What does poetry provide you with? Who are your poetry idols? And why haven't you coughed up my "albatrossy" poem?
2. During your BAA trip, you had the opportunity to meet up with Jeff Goldstein and Martini Boy---and even stayed at Martini Boy's house. Are there any stories you neglected to mention then that you'd like to relieve your soul of now? Confession being good for the soul and all.
3. In haiku format please define the differences between your old neighbors on the west coast and your new neighbors on the east coast.
4. You have received a classical education. What do you think this has given you and how has it prepared you for the future?
5. Explain where the title of your blog comes from. Do you have a favorite type of booze, or will any old swill do?
I'll update when Rich posts his answers.
UPDATE: Rich has answered all. And quite marvelously, too.
