A Burque Bouquet

It's been a week--and what a week it's been.  Last week I had a production meeting with Don, during which he gave me multitudes more resources--in the form of letters, articles, books, dvds and cassette tapes--to go through as I pursue this project.  It's more than I can compile in any swift amount of time, but it is pretty thrilling to go through.

Over the past couple of months, Don has referenced an article that was written on him in 2007 as the "most accurate" article about him.  Don gave me a copy of the article, and told me to share it with anyone who might be curious.  In the interest of explanation for those who may not be familiar with Don and his lifestyle, I have posted it below.  Obviously I didn't write the thing--it was written by J.A. Montalbano for the Albuquerque Tribune, who did multitudes of interviews over the course of over a year in preparation for the article.  Much respect!
Here it is, complete with Don's hand written (in blue ink) annotations:

Whew!  Food for thought, there.  And while we're at it, here's a clip from January (note the hat and jacket) of Don talking about the way he learns from people and has become who he is today:

Now, I don't know about you--but I like this idea.  I think the logic applies well to the spirit of this project, and to the evolution of its presence here on the interwebs.

This week, we'll do another interview with Don. Also coming up: the archive of articles I promised last week (I'm having to brush up on my html knowledge, so I don't give you more posts that look like this! give me a break), a history of Don Schrader and Public Access, an introduction to Brett, and Don Schrader: Through the Years (in photos).

Prepare yourselves!
