offcntrI guess it's the midwesterner in me.
Don't put yourself forward, don't brag, don't show off. Makes me a little uncomfortable in the limelight, especially if it happens too often. I was just on KLCC's Viz City a couple of weeks ago, and this morning, there's a TV crew coming to my studio.
Makes me wonder if I'm the only potter left in Eugene.
Okay, there's reasons. I was Viz City's second choice, recommended by another potter who didn't have time to talk to them. The TV crew today is doing a story about Empty Bowls, so Dawn Marie Woodward from Food for Lane County asked if I'd talk to (and throw pots for) them. She'll be there for the interview as well, so it's not about me. And heck, I've been donating a hundred bowls a year for a while now, so it makes sense to put me forward. Not to mention that 25 years on radio means I'm not microphone shy.
The business person in me says Yay! Publicity! But the tiny voice of my Wisconsin childhood says Show-off.
