N.L. joins Rusty Shoop of KBAK 29 in studio to talk about Noveltown "Stories from Dust" - By N.L. Belardes
I got up this morning with my trusty camera in hand, ready to be the Paperback Writer blogger/novelist on the scene with a citizen journalist eye on the media. You know how I love to take photos of the media hard at work: newspaper folks, TV cameramen, reporters, photographers, and soon enough: TV morning anchors on the popular local Channel 29 show, Daybreak.
Oh yes, Rusty Shoop, a true man of mystery even shared some ‘cottonfield murder’ talk that only two sleuth novelists could grapple… thanks Rusty.
Only we talked right before going on-air.
Paperback Writer blogger gets behind the scenes!
Rusty Shoop gets comfortable in a quick chat about Noveltown
And "Stories from Dust"
No, I hadn’t planned on going on live, but strange circumstances had it that while Matt Munoz was trying to batter his way into the studio with his ska elbows swinging, I was already sitting in the hot seat, albeit a comfortable chair in the newsroom, ready to drink coffee with the ever-so polite, Rusty Shoop.
Normally I am a little more behind the scenes of Noveltown, but today I spoke as an artist and as the Noveltown guy with a vision about fusing local art: literature, film, music, theatre, and more. I talked about the fusion of arts happening in Bakersfield and Matt’s very awesome storytelling ability. Oh yes, he's the ska king, the Ricky Ricardo of Bakersfield swooners. Shoop and I shared a laugh about tonight’s surprises at Russo’s Books, and I informed his audience about how Noveltown is going to take audio from tonight’s “Stories from Dust” event to create a great online shared artistic experience (and some good b-roll and interviews for another episode of Zowietown).
In the studio...
There’s a renaissance in Bakersfield art going on right now and it’s not about quality and quantity of art. It’s about art fusion. Tonight, Literature meets music meets storytelling. And just recently, music met literature met film at BIFF.
The arts are growing together… how will you be a part of it?
Attend tonight’s "Stories from Dust" event for a taste of Bakersfield literary and music culture…
