Back to the true drunken ramblings
My friend Jack and I are both writers. We predict that we will be famous one day, and since no one else is going to interview us now, we're going to interview each other. Jack has no internet, so I don't expect him to see this. This is my planned script, totally James Lipton style.
If you have any suggestions, please comment.
I would like to welcome you to the first ever,
Drinking Inside the Writiers' Studio.
I'm proud to introduce our first guest ever, Juan Manuel Carrillo.
And now, for the questionaire created by Bernard Pivot:
01. What is your favorite word?
02. What is your least favorite word?
03. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
04. What turns you off?
05. What is your favorite curse word?
06. What sound or noise do you love?
07. What sound or noise do you hate?
08. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
09. What profession would you not like to do?
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say
when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

Jack and I have decided to set up a video camera, get drunk, and interview each other in rounds. Round one, I'll interview him for five or ten questions. Round two, he interviews me, for five or ten questions. Round three, I interview him, etc. The point of this is so that both interviewers are nearly equally intoxicated as opposed to first having a buzzed interviewer then having a drunk interviewer. That would be funny, but I think our plan will work out for the best.
My questions:
1) Jack, where were you born?
2) What is your given name?
3) What are your parents' names?
4) When did you move to San Diego? Why?
5) I think that most writers begin as readers. What books
do you remember reading as a child?
6) When did you start writing?
7) Many writers adopt pen names. Would you consider
your first pseudonym to be "Intro"?
8) How did you meet "Irish" and "Grumpy"?
9) What was school like for you?
10) What was life like after you were out of school?
11) You were imprisoned for ten months during 1997.
Did you write in prison?
12) In 2001, you worked as a fork-lift operator and as a reward, your company sent you on vacation for a weekend in Rosarito, Mexico. This is the non-fictional starting point of the story Drunk in Mexico.
How did this story develop?
13) What is the origin of your pen name "Manny Califaz"?
14) Darn That Dream. How did that story come to be?
15) In November of 2002, your first child was born.
How has this affected your writing?
