Yesterday, the ‘Grok went to the Granite State Patriot Liberty PAC’s TEA Party event at the Rochester Community Center. During the speeches, former PA Senator Rick Santorum wandered over to our area and offered to do an interview with us which we immediately said YES to.
Well, when you have political type people speak, they tend to, well, talk long. And that meant he was going to have to leave before the end (when we would normally do the interviews, as our stated aim was to live stream the event itself).
Well, I saw him leaving. I told his staff that I understood and we’d try again next time – he had to catch a flight out of Boston….and then after sitting down and checking things a few minutes later, I got a tap on the shoulder – I turned around it was Rick Santorum; he had come back so we did a quick "lite" FlipCam (it’s ALWAYS good to travel "heavy" with lots of gear!) "MicroInterview" (including a last question on "Billion Dollar Barry"):
He didn’t have to do the interview – as a former frequent flyer, I "get" making flights. Either he’s a really nice guy, or his staff thought sufficiently important to get an interview on the ‘Grok.
I think I’ll just say that I’m going with the first one.
Note: Am driving to Bangor to see my son returning from Afghanistan in a few minutes – I am like a six year old the day before Christmas! We have PLENTY more video to post – will do so as soon and as practical as possible! Also, will be doing a live stream from the airport if the troops deplane for their stop and if we can obtain a good WiFi signal.
