It didn’t feel real, sitting at the ocean in Bar Harbor, Maine – waiting for Larry to ride up and reach the end of his 4,300 mile experience. It has taken so long to get to this moment that I just felt… unable to put it into words. This last three years was just the beginning – now the real hard work begins. And I’m looking forward to it – very much actually. Last night (four days after Bar Harbor) I walked around the streets of Ann Arbor by myself, stood on the top-floor of the parking garage behind the State Theater… thinking about all the days spent there running around with a camera in my hand. I think I’ve come a long way – and that feels good. And if you’re new here, please subscribe for free and everything you’ve ever wished for will come true. I swear.
I wanted to post these two videos with the actual interview – but it took me several days to find a connection strong enough to upload the full uncut interview phone-conversation with CNN. Now, to be perfectly honest, the full uncut interview isn’t something I would recommend watching: it’s fairly long and awkward, due to poor cell phone reception. It’s also super washed out because I adjusted the iris, sat down, and then, of course, the rain stop pouring and the sun came out behind us – completely washing us out and creating a blinding white light behind Larry and I. Well, now that I’ve talked it up, here it is (you’ve been warned): This second clip, however, is very short, and much less boring then the above one. This is the voice-mail that was left on my phone from CNN about their wanting to interview us for the project. And if you’re new here, please subscribe for free… because it makes us feel loved.
