When I was at lunch yesterday, I noticed all kinds of media trucks in my area of downtown Chicago. I don’t know what was going on, but I did find one thing interesting:
As a local reporter interviewed someone in a suit, this guy stood behind the interviewee and off to the left (presumably off camera), running through the ringtones on his cellphone. It was obvious from the smile on his face that he was determined to go home (or maybe to the local bar) and when the interview came up with the soundtrack of “Ride of the Valkyries” played on a Nokia, he’d stand up and say, “That’s Me!!”
I was tempted to join in, but I didn’t want to ruin the simple elegance of this guy’s shot at near-stardom.
