I'm being interviewed for National TV!!

Woop woop! :crazyeyes

What a turn-out for events, I got phoned this afternoon about 4pm by Matt who runs AngelCare (http://www.angelcare.org.nz) & Stargate (http://www.dancepills.com) out here and asked if I wanted be interviewed by Flipside (which is like a news program aimed at the 15-30 age group) as a promoter/dj speaking out about the harm reduction and drug education that AngelCare do as an organisation in clubs and on the outside - I was prime choice because I recently promoted and used one of my events to raise $2000 for the charity, which in turn paid for 17 odd angels to have first aid courses for use at all auckland based events. :)

So tonight at 8pm (just under 2 hours) I've got to rack up to TVNZ for my interview, which will be getting broadcast on Wednesday at 5pm and 11:30pm on TV2. So now I'm trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to say... eeek, what doesn't help is the fact that I had an extremely heavy weekend, I look like shite and I have these black bags under my eyes from lack of sleep over the weekend to then talk political about the importance of having a safe clubbing environment and the importants of drug education! So I've asked my make-up girl here (heh) to try and attempt to make me look half decent and not like a member of the Adams Family... :rolleyes:

Yay!! How Exciting!! :D

    Well that was fun, my linker is going to say "Justin Sane - Promoter/DJ" and they ask me a few questions about the importance of drug education and safety at events... I'm interviewed stood up with a weird UV plater thing behind me, looking all guchi and professional, aparently I sounded really professional and good!

    So its going live to air on Wednesday, TV2 at 5pm across NZ, its the main feature article so I'll probably be on for about 1-2 minutes in-between some other interviewies. We'll probably get one of the guys to record it and MPEG it then I'll post the link up here so you can all watch... I just hope I come across as a positive influence for our scene! :)

    Looks like it won't be my last appearance now, they are all keen to get me as an industry spokesperson for some other issues that crop up, seeing as I work with Angelcare and am a DJ/Promoter over here... things are getting so hectic, I can't wait for the time when all this becomes permenant, I've literally got to the stage where my weekends are no longer time off, take July for example:
