It’s been a while since the tables were turned and someone interviewed me, but Bloggasm‘s Simon Owens seemed to think I had something to offer, doing a little research beforehand and asking some really interesting questions.
Simon Owens: Since you’ve taken acting workshops, do you think this helps you when you’ve performed poetry in front of audiences?
Guy LeCharles Gonzalez: Immensely! I’m a relatively shy guy in large groups, but the acting workshops I took helped me feel comfortable on stage and, more importantly, in my own skin. Performing your own poetry to a bar full of strangers is one of the most extreme forms of exhibitionism I can think of, and I still get butterflies whenever I get on stage, but being able to hold a crowd’s attention, pulling them into your world and having them come voluntarily, is an exhilirating feeling.

In other news, my return to regular blogging is at least a few weeks away, and may be further pre-empted by NaNoWriMo. As it is, I’m still four or five weeks behind on picking up comics and as Fossen mentions, “No comics also makes comic bloggery difficult, and it’s not like my mind is here anyways.”

Nice interview. I thought your interviewer sounded familiar, and I see that he is of craigslist laid fame. Nice job getting some press while not even blogging.
