Armwrestling (February 2006)

I interviewed Bill Cox, the executive director of the International Armwrestling Federation. We armwrestled on camera (he won).

Here’s the article I wrote.

Roller Derby (April 2005)

I wrote this article about roller derby and interviewed Sarah “Doom” Kingan to discuss the sport and her team, the Providence Derby Dames.

Other NECN “Globe At Home” episodes:

Bazaar Bizarre  (December 2005)

I interviewed one of the organizers of this DIY craft fair, just in time for the holidays.

Winter Surfing (February 2006)

Ron Lees and I talked about surfers who brave freezing temperatures to catch waves in the middle of winter.         

Here’s the article I wrote for the Globe.

In this episode, I interviewed one of the guys from 123 Party -- Lazer (formerly known as Fury).  We taped the interview at the mini-NECN studio that's located inside the Globe's newsroom.

At one point during the interview Lazer jumped up on the NECN anchor desk and started dancing.

 

It was awesome.

But the most memorable moment came after the NECN cameras stopped rolling, while Lazer and I got ready to leave. As we made our way through the newsroom, he suddenly turned on his boombox and tried to start a dance party. His impromptu performance surprised everyone (myself included).  A Globe security guard practically chased him out the door.
