**backstory on MTB4 interview**

10:12am - I'm at work, internal clock ticking, pacing the room looking for some privacy. i just need to be alone with Will for 20 minutes...

The publicist from MTV just called to say that my phone interview with Will from Making the Band 4 is going to be at 10:30am. The problem is I'm at work and there is NO privacy for this important call. And I mean no privacy as in the only rooms that have doors with locks, are the superintendents office, and the handicapped washroom. sheeeit. (literally. LoL!)

10:22am - With 8 minutes to phone time, I post an OUT OF ORDER sign on the handicapped washroom door, tell the B.O plagued janitor to keep watch, I fling my trusty blackberry, tape recorder, and questions into the sink, and get comfortable on the throne. ugh.

10:57am- After talks new found fame, upcoming tours and 'the good life', I hang up with Puffy's present project and look around a dingy washroom complete with mystery stained tiles and econo size jugs of goo remover. Most important, i got the scoop and Will and MTV had no clue i was speaking to them from an orgy of bacteria.

check the outcome of this effort in the post below.
