- me: why did you decide to publish the the brandon book crisis
- Tao: brandon and i thought it was innovative and that we could make easy cash
- me: what is your favorite part
- Tao: when i talk about accidentally buying an egg sandwich on the way to the library
- me: have you experienced any other 'crisis' in your life?
- Tao: no, this was the first one, i liked it, i think it's brandon's second: one time he got really drunk and tried to ride his bike home from a bar and got arrested
- me: do you feel good about the way you handled your first crisis
- Tao: yes, it resulted in a 152-page $15 work of art that is going to sell out at some point, lifetime subscribers will get the first 20 copies
- me: what do you think 'bbc' will mean for your career, in short or long term
- Tao: short: damaging to my checking account; long: happier lifetime subscribers, creating more good feelings toward muumuu house from those who are most devoted to it
- me: what would you say to pitch bbc in five words or less
- Tao: 'sweet, limited edition, refreshingly thrilling'
- me: who is bbc's target audience
- Tao: people who bank accounts and computers
- damn
- me: damn
- Tao: people with bank accounts and computers
- me: nice
- Tao: damn
- me: if bbc was a three course meal, what would it consist of
- Tao: first course: carbs with gravy around it; second course: a salad with small carbs generously 'mixed in' with it; third course: a large piece of protein with 'chunks' of carbs surrounding it
- me: mmm
- coming out of the crisis, what do you think is the most important thing you learned
- Tao: as i left the crisis i looked back on 'the wreckage' and i saw that it seemed sweet, not sure if that answers your question, that's how i feel though
- me: nice
- do you feel it has affected your relationship with brandon
- on either a personal or professional level?
- Tao: it seems like brandon and i are closer
- me: do you think any other relationships were influenced while you were in the midst of the crisis?
- Tao: brandon stopped seeing his gf
- me: if you were a baby animal, what would you be?
- Tao: sea cucumber
- me: thanks for doing the interview
- Tao: thanks
