Just a Sample...



Ya gotta love this: Colin D. of the Buffalo News interviewing "Nobody" (aka Paul Painkiller) after the latter's presentation at our now-annual "Samples at Sample" press event as a photographer looks on. This intimate affair ("Samples," that is, not their tete-a-tete) features one-minute pitches for acts in the upcoming festival on a first-come, first-served basis. It's mainly for the benefit of the media, but it also gives the rest of us our first glimpse at what we're in for.

Many thanks to Jennifer Goetz and everyone else at Sample (that's the restaurant/bar that specializes in bite-sized goodies and cocktails you won't find anywhere else) for a terrific evening.

PS. If you want to see the end result of Colin's labors, check out the cover story on the festival in last week's Gusto (at least as long as it's online for free, that is) and his accompanying video segment, shot at "Samples at Sample".
