Good lunch
I got back not too long ago from lunch with Matt Wixon at the only restaurant easily walkable, Subway. We talked a bit about how he broke into the business and his humor blog and columns.
I was once again reaffirmed in my belief that there is no right or wrong way to break in to this business. I also decided I wanted to step my humor writing game up, as we decided that there would always be a place for entertaining writing.
Matt was extremely nice and seems to really like what he does, both qualities of everyone I've put in my rolodex so far in my time here.
Up next for the HS interns is a focus group about the website at 1:30. I should have a lot to say there, and may give up a few snippets later, as long as Momma Belo doesn't get too offended. The college interns ought to be back shortly from their session, so hopefully they will have something to add as well. Either that, or I'll just post Matthew scooping tiger dung again.
I enjoyed that.

You're not the only one who thinks Matt Wixon is a nice guy. I know of a few people involved in stories that he's covered and every single one of them has great things to say about Matt's professionalism, courtesy, and just being a really nice person.

Matt Wixon is the man. He and Damon Sayles took me out to Subway on the first day of my internship.
You can tell how much hel loves what he does in both how he writes and how he conducts himself.
