By lunch time, the booths were set up, the guests had arrived and there was quaint music playing from somewhere undetermined. Hawkeye is walking around with one of those portable microphone/speaker set-ups, roaming from booth to booth announcing the various guests that have come to Fandom to talk about their professions.

And despite what the mainland weather forecast said, it was definitely a nice, fine day.

"Can you tell us of any films that you might have made that we'd be familiar with?" Jamie asked.

"I made this documentary about my friends a few years ago called Alphabet City," Mark said. "Got shown on PBS and some dork bought the rights and turned it into a musical. THAT was weird, seeing actors pretending to be people I loved, but with more singing."

"And I, uh, used to work for Buzzline."

"Well would you be considered a bohemian if you sold the rights of your documentary?" Jamie asked. "And what's buzzline? Is that a franchise of hair salons?"

Mark opened his mouth and closed it. He didn't have a good answer to the first question that wasn't an hour long.

"Buzzline's a syndicated TV news show. Not the most artistic thing in the world."

"Do you have any current projects that you are working on?" Jamie asked. "Besides living off the royalties of your documentary/musical?"

"It really wasn't that much money," Mark carefully explained. Why did people expect him to be rich? "The guy who bought it was a struggling composer, a friend of a friend."

"I'm working on a film about people kicking heroin addiction at different treatment facilities. Fascinating stories."
