It's also a shame they can't tell the type of stories that you can get from them one-on-one in a regular setting without publicists looming around. Do you know they even use obscene language? Really ;-)

Now I'm off to document the Contemporary's public restrooms. Wish me luck getting into the women's restrooms.

Congrats on graduating, though.

And while you were "graduating" from "college," I was out knocking on people's doors, trying to take video of the bathrooms on the seventh floor of the Contemporary. But congratulations on your degree. Now you can go work that minimum wage CM job in the parks that you've been dreaming about for years!
