Interview with Edward Santiago And Austin Halloween 2019
Movie script writer, book writer, and guitarist Edward Santiago granted me an interview on my last trip to Austin, TX for Halloween of 2019. I am the girl on his right in the photo below. We used to work together at Blizzard Entertainment in Austin doing game master help desk work for World of Warcraft. (I did this in the summer as temp work when I was not teaching.) He says it was hard work earning a number of degrees in writing for film, but worth it to teach students about writing in Austin, TX. He says he enjoys writing dramatic work, but fiction has captured his heart for entertainment writing. He says he has a large collection of fiction books, fiction book art prints, video game posters, and video games which my photos of his apartment verify. He says practices guitar regularly, but script writing is his main creative outlet.

Interview with Darren Quintinson 2018
I ran into many old friends on my last trip to Austin, TX in 2018. One I had missed from the early 2000s was Darren Quintionson.
Darren is a music fan and promoter of the music venue The Elysium in Austin, TX. He says that he has traveled the world seeing shows since the early 2000s, including the Middle East and Europe. His favorite types of music include retro 80s, Metal, Black Metal, Synthpop, and electronic. He loves Austin, TX yet was originally from the San Antonio, TX area. He has written poetry for years, given many live poetry readings, and even regularly posted his poems to Livejournal in the early 2000s. His taste in music is greatly influenced by a love of fiction and sci-fi books and movies like HR Giger’s Aliens. He collects books, and is still a very active reader to this day.

Daily News
In this photo I am getting the daily Newspaper New Orleans style. It has been a while since I purchased the New Orleans newspaper. This paper was next to the Trolley Stop restaurant which is newly renovated. In fact it was on a TV show with Gordon Ramsey that is rather infamous. My friend @zorak303 showed me the video on his TV at his place. This was sad because it used to be a very thrifty place for students to eat, but is now far more pricey.

Austin Visit and Interview with Austin Moore 2018
I took a trip to Austin to check out SXSW and promote my latest podcast episodes and published books. I managed to run into an old friend the actor, singer, bartender, and guitarist Austin Moore on my visit to Austin, TX in 2018.
Austin says that he enjoys working bartending and door work at Stubbs BBQ as much as his music guitar work. He has worked as a bartender in many clubs including the famous Elysium Austin Club. I am the girl on his left in the photo below. He has worked many computer jobs, and was working a dayjob for Facebook in Austin at the time I interviewed him. He still gets a kick out of people recognising him from his acting work in the Austin based movie “Dazed and Confused” that he was in as kid. He likes to decorate his house with spiritual and witch art from around the world. His love of fiction books influenced his song lyrics in later art. Austin’s favorite hobby aside from music is watching movies at the Alamo movie theater in Austin, 5 blocks from his house.

Austin visit and Interview with Steve Hall 2018
I was traveling in my old hometown of Austin, TX in 2018 doing promotion for my latest podcast episodes and published books. I managed to run into my old school friend Steve Hall, and to get an interview. We still remain friends to this day.
Steve says that he enjoys working with computers, and uses them daily in his office job in home security sales. Steve lives in the United States now, but was originally born overseas in China. This is a fact that contributes to his love of Bruce Lee movies. I am the girl in the right of the photo below with Steve. Steve has done DJ work with many kinds of retro 80s, Synthpop, and electronic music in many cities, but Seattle and Austin are his top favorites. Steve enjoys travel, and goes to yearly Ren-fests in the Texas region. Despite loving night life greatly, he is also a devoted family man, and is single father to a young daughter he watches on weekends. Steve has a large collectable toy, music, and book collection in his house, and his tastes in music are heavily influenced by his love of fiction and Sci Fi books including HR Giger’s Aliens.
Steve still is actively a DJ and music maker in Austin, TX. See his current playlists at the link:

Visit to Austin and Halloween Interview with Andrew Steed 2018
I was traveling in Austin, TX to promote my latest podcast episodes and books. I happened to run into my old friend Andrew Steed, and managed to get some interview questions answered.
Andrew Steed has been involved in promoting many bands in the Austin music scene. He has traveled to many towns to see live shows across the country. I am the girl on his left in the photo below, and yes that was High School prom we were at together for both Junior and Senior year prom dances. One of the first concerts I ever saw was with Lalapolooza in Dallas. Andrew’s tastes run from old school punk in The Dead Kennedys, Ministry, to pop punk of the more Green Day variety. Andrew’s tastes in music come from his love of fiction book authors including Robert Heinlein,William Seward Burroughs II, and William Gibson.
