It was 2.30 in the morning. I had been reading interviews all night...and had decided that I should finally go to bed. I gave myself one more sweep past the boards in case there had been any new pics or news posted.
I refreshed at LH and that's when I saw it. JoMarty had posted a note to say that Marty was doing an interview on a breakfast show out of Minneapolis. "Go to the website", she said, "to get the feed".
I looked at the clock...it was only another hour away. I am so far away from things that I rarely get to participate in real time. So I thought...wtf...why not.
I went to the website and clicked the link. Nothing happened. I clicked again...still no feed.
Logout, reboot, reload. Click. Nothing.
Damn!
And then I saw the radio station’s phone number…again…wtf…why not.
So I called the station. The woman on the other end was very sympathetic to my problem. “I will give you a number to call back on” she said, “then you can listen while you are on hold.”
Brilliant! I thought. “Hold on, the host wants to speak to you.”
So now I am on air confirming to this amazed radio host that yes I am calling from New Zealand because I want to hear the Marty Casey interview. (I am thinking…why is he so surprised?)
And he confirms that I can call back and listen over the phone…”Oh hey…would you like to ask Marty a question?”
So now I am pacing my lounge waiting for the hour to pass. Trying to come up with something to ask Marty. Remember I had been reading interviews all night. Everything had already been asked and answered. What else was there?
I hit the boards again to pass the time and keep myself awake. AngelShadow had posted at the LH that she had heard me on the radio.
We hit the chat room at the fan club I needed to do something to stay awake.
Then it was time to call back. When I got there I found company. Cindy had called in to inquire about getting the interview for the org and the host had invited her on. MarieinVA, Alix (in France!) and Ginaing, had all heard me on the radio and thought…"Hell Yeah!" and called in too.
It was awesome, there we all were chatting away to the hosts and each other waiting for our rockstar to show up.
And then suddenly “He’s here” the female announcer said. There were five collective sharp intakes of breath.
“They really are breathless!” she said…and we really were.
“Say hello to palari in New Zealand” the host said.
“How are you?” Marty asked
“I’m freaking out right now ‘cos you sound so good” I said.
And he did. So sexy sweet first thing in the morning. My heart was racing, there he was, right there…on the other end of my phone…damn…
“palari do you have a question for Marty?”
I did.
“Mah-tee?”
“Yeah”
“What are you wearing?”
He seemed a little confused at first. I suspect he hadn’t had much sleep at all.
“I’m wearing a sweatshirt I got from a fan in Costa Rica,” he said, “a scarf from the fanclub girls. My sneakers, you know, my standard black converse sneakers. And some black pants.”
He started to talk about getting lots of stuff from fans…but I wasn’t done yet.
“Which black pants Mah-tee” I persisted, “Are they the ones with the laces?”
And then he got it. “Oh!” he said. I could feel him grinning.
“Well” the grin getting bigger, “they are the pants I wore at my show last night and
…they’re tight…
…leather-looking. Black pants.”
At this point I had actually stopped breathing. All I could hear was that word…tight…like he enjoyed saying it. He was playing along…and I loved him for it.
The rest of it passed in a blur. All the girls got to talk to him…maybe they will post their own accounts in this thread. I would like that.
If you want to hear it click here. It’s the Balanced Breakfast interview in February 06.
That was my first ever Marty moment.
There were other things I could have asked him I suppose but like I said…it seemed like everything had already been asked and answered. So in the end I decided…I am at the bottom of the planet, how many opportunities am I gonna get? Hell with it …I am going to flirt with my rockstar.
So I did.
