Now then, you young whippersnapper...
Tim Nicholas: oh! did i tell you my craigslist story?
Daniel Calhoun: unless this is the one about adult film editor, no
Tim Nicholas: i was looking on craigslist for film/video jobs
Tim Nicholas: and i saw this post that was like, "Performance Artist Seeks Filmmaker Collaborator" and basically the guy has like one sentence on wanting to collaborate with a film maker, says nothing about what his art is like, and has a whole paragraph about how if you get the job, he'll let you stay at his guest cottage in conneticut that has like, fields of daffodils around it
Tim Nicholas: so it seemed a little bit sketchy
Tim Nicholas: but i figured it could be interesting, so i emailed the guy and asked for more information
Tim Nicholas: and here's the email he sent back...
Tim Nicholas: subject: now then, you young whippersnapper
My turn now.
Dear - who? what? why? where?
You are very silly, and very young.
And we should absolutely meet.
When?
My best, The Rook
Daniel Calhoun: WHAT
Daniel Calhoun: The Rook?
Tim Nicholas: hahaha yeah
Tim Nicholas: wtf right?
Daniel Calhoun: did you respond?
Tim Nicholas: fuck no!
Tim Nicholas: im glad i found out he was a rapist now though
Tim Nicholas: instead of after meeting him in person
Tim Nicholas: seriously
Tim Nicholas: i wonder if he's actually a performance artist though
Tim Nicholas: and if so, what his art is like
