A high school friend of mine who now works as a freelance journalist contacted me earlier this week:
So a fellow reporter is attempting to do a piece on LARP in/around Chicago. We're looking for someone (multiple people, preferably) who'd be willing to go on camera for a few minutes, talk about why/how/logistics etc. It's a serious piece about the culture etc., that would go on TV in Chicago, and online.
The reporter's name is Aubyn Niemi (in case you'd like to look up other work she's done). If you or someone you know might be interested in participating, she can be contacted at aubynniemi2009 at u.northwestern.edu.
Many thanks to Eris for clarifying board rules regarding posting email addresses.
