Offbeat Bride on Urban Rush
23May2007 Filed under: BookWhen I was in Vancouver a few weeks ago, I did an appearance on Urban Rush, a local magazine show. I think it’s the best Offbeat interview yet — especially since one of the hosts started muttering about shrooms at one point. WTF?
My final book tour event is next Saturday in Los Angeles — if you want to come, lemme know so’s I can get you on the evite! Then I’m done with Offbeat Bride until I Heart Indie Weddings happens next January.
Honestly? WHEW. Mah shit is tard out.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, is in bookstores now.

Definitely the best interview I’ve watched. Maybe because they live in the same planet on you… Not quite so plastic fantastic….. Yeah canada!

Very well delivered, Ariel. Nice work. Now come to Iowa for a book signing/party, kay?
What was UP with that guy, all grungy, buzzin bout shrooms. WTF is right. Both the hosts did seem like a lot of fun.

It’s funny: the male host is Terry David Mulligan, who none of us yanks have ever heard of, but who friends in Vancouver described to me as “the Canadian Dick Clark.” I guess he’s like, wildly famous in Canada and was one of the country’s first VJs and stuff? Whatever: he was crazy! He ended one segment by burping.
As you may be able to tell from this clip, I didn’t hear him when he made the shroom crack — kind of too bad, really.

Ariel, you are SUNSHINE. And ohmigod, how much do I love Canadians?!?! If a talk-show host muttered the word “shrooms” on television in the States, they would be on the receiving end of a hefty ass-whoopin from the FCC.

TDM has been around a long time in broadcasting. I too grew up around him.
YOU though, are awesome-fantastico.

That was a fabulous interview. That woman looked horrified that you mentioned (gasp!) that don’t need diamond rings–or rings at all!
Can you please jot me in (+ 1) for Los Angeles?

p.s. my boyfriend was shaking his head “yes” the whole time you were talking, ha ha.

Hmmm, I didn’t catch the shroom comments either.
You did present well in this interview. Good job! I love how in the background they have random people driving and walking by, parking their cars, etc…Maybe they should consider tinting the windows.

I thought you were coming to Powell’s in Portland in June. Did that get canceled?
Ariel

Yup: I canceled it, due to lack of interest.

Great stuff - We had our official vows done in the courthouse with “more people” than the judge had ever seen at a courthouse wedding, we had our reception at our favorite restaraunt where we had courted each other for FREE… my wife refused to get a diamond for her ring… I love the interview, as you can tell - Follow-up book… Offbeat Groom *grins*

I pitched that book, Mark — I even had a friend who wanted to write it! — but was informed that there’s no market for groom books. As my agent said, “The only people who buy books for grooms are brides. It’s just not a profitable sector.”
How depressing is THAT?!

That just means that they don’t even get the concept… sad… really
