Long Overdue

Last spring I travelled to New Orleans with L.A. Reno to meet up with my dad over Easter weekend. I found out prior to the trip that the Annual Gay Easter Parade (AGEP) would march through the streets of the French Quarter on Easter Sunday, and had been doing so for the last ten years. I made contact with Rip Naquin, a member of the AGEP's Board of Directors and set up an interview. He was nice enough to give me a great interview right before the parade started, and when I asked if there were anyone else in the staging area that might be willing to sit down with me, he promptly sent over the Master of Ceremonies, Marcy Marcell. The whole experience was generally amazing!

The project was part of a multimedia work that I completed for one of my classes last semester. The final product was actually a flash package that you could navigate through to see interview video, a map of the route with points at which pictures could pop up, and an audio slide show component. Unfortunately I don't have a website to plug that into yet, but hopefully soon!
