Hello, everyone, my name is Catherine Riley. I'm posting again here (for those who saw this in the garbers' forum), and I'm looking for just a few volunteers.
I'm a graduate student at Louisiana State University, and I'm currently doing research for a brief folklore study of garbing, costuming, and character creation. I need interviews (approximately an hour each) with at least 2 people, and I wanted to know if there were any attendees in the Houston or southern Louisiana area willing to participate in these longer, recorded interviews. I would like these to be as comfortable and as much at your convenience as possible. For Louisiana folks, my schedule is fairly flexible, but I will definitely be in Houston on October 17-19 and potentially ANY of the other weekends.
If you're interested, please post a response or e-mail me (criley1@lsu.edu), and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have or set up potential interview appointments.
I will also be looking to get brief journalistic interviews at the faire itself, so I look forward to seeing and speaking with you all!
Thank you!
sure, i'll be a guinea pig.
I've already signed up for guineapig-dom. COUNT ME IN!!!
I don't know what you're looking for, but I'd be willing as well.
