accidental death
I'm reviewing my interview tape and I forgot that the interviewee suddenly brings up the death of his cousin to carbon monoxide poisoning when he was 17
It's just so fucking tragic
this interview was done in person and both of us are holding papers so occasionally i'm like oooooh I want to save thi--CRINKLE CRINKLE CRINKLE
Saved a really great clip only to discover that i had not saved the really great clip 😢
There's a point in this interview where my childhood neighborhood comes up and you can hear me almost give the interviewee my cross-street before I very obviously remember this whole thing is being recorded for a public archive and start backpedaling.
@aescling i’m literally like ‘oh i grew up near [school name]! I live right across the river at, well, uh, [city] is a small place’ except with even more awkward scrambling 😂
