Ok. This isn’t really an episode of Interview With A Geek, but I DID get to interview the crew of the International Space Station this morning. I received a Tweet yesterday, followed by an email from NASA employee Amiko Kauderer. I was given the honor of asking one question, via a phone/uplink to the crew of the ISS. Thrilled? Beyond words. Go read my tweets from today. Giddy, for hours.
My friend (and hopefully future guest on the show) Shannon Moore (aka @ageekmom) asks her question around 17:35 and my question is at 19:10. Enjoy.
This show is all about celebrating the Geek. There are many types of geeks and I like to talk to people who are not afraid to geek out and be proud. Clare is without a doubt the type of geek to geek out with the best of them. Who is this Clare Grant you say? Well, she’s an actress, gamer, unicorn, reformed baseball nerd, collectible card game pro, model, and the cohort of Boba Fett. Where might you have seen her? Walk the Line? Black Snake Moan? G33K & G4M3R Girls? and there’s more! Lot’s more. Where have you heard her? Star Wars: The Clone Wars Yes. Fraking Star Wars: The Clone Wars. and Robot Chicken. I could stop there. But I won’t. In addition to her already mighty geek cred, add an appreciation for Lego Bricks, cosplay, fine southern cooking and the Chicago Cubs. In this episode we talk about all this, her up coming projects and… space. Oh, Clare.. I’m so very very jealous. #spacecamp
Please note: This post will be updated with the Sausage Balls recipe. Seriously. Listen and learn and.. No laughing.
Technical Notes: (ie. What went technically wrong during the interview). This interview was planned to be audio only, so video was not a problem at all. (check) Audio, was better… Mic failed. Skype (the internets actually) failed… my antique chair my mother restored and gave to me as a gift many years ago.. fail.
