Suggest a guest thread (mid-to-late August edition)

Posted by Maximum Fun on 21st August 2006


It’s been a while since we’ve done this, and my tank’s running low after a bunch of flat-out rejections, so let’s start the SUGGEST A GUEST train movin’ again. Suggest your ideas for guests below!

Remember the qualifications:

Anyone really really famous is a great suggestion, but only if you’re friends with them and are willing to give me their email address and reccomend us :).

People with books that either just came out or are coming out are great. Same with CDs.

Anyone coming to Santa Cruz, Hattiesburg, or New Concord, Ohio in the future for something is great.

They should be of interest to people in general, not too insidery. (ie the “Probably no web comics or nerdcore rappers.” rule)

Triple points for great women, this show has been a real sausagefest lately, and I hate that. And yes, I’m still trying for Amy Sedaris but no promises.

People with movies are tough but especially if it’s an indie film, suggest anyway. Same deal with TV. I’ll try but I usually fail, unless it’s a real small channel.

The last couple of these gave me a lot of really great leads and ideas that I followed up on, and I really appreciate hearing from you all! Please know that I refer back to these all the time when I’m trying to book guests.
