So just a little personal update... this morning at 5:30 I get a call from Neuman. He tells me that one of the interview tapes that we have has an unexplained buzz on it, which pretty much renders it useless for our documentary.
We've had nothing but the worst of luck from the beginning of this project. I'm not sure whose grave we pissed on that is coming back for the ultimate karmic retribution, but they're sure doing an excellent job of fucking us.
So to recap for those who have been out of the know:
we work for an entire semester and get few interviews when we try to work with a class
the students consistently fail to inform us of interviews that they've set up
when they do let us know, it's far too late to get the equipment that we need
Nueman and I have to take an incomplete for the first semester
we change the focus of the documentary and begin pursuing other interview subjects
a criminal justice expert and personal friend disses us and refuses to do another interview
we travel to Madison numerous times and only after many times and much wasted gas money we get the interviews we need
on one trip to Madison I lock my keys in my car, another 50 bucks gone
we travel to Two Rivers, WI and get a terrible interview from a man who barely speaks
another expert in the field cancels a third time on us and tells us, "best of luck", essentially a fuck you
we find an unexplained buzz on one of our tapes
frustrated, our supervising professor tells us just to write a paper
