Cubs 2008 audio documentary - your voices wanted

Hey folks,

I'm putting together an audio piece that focuses on the Cubs' 2008 post-season (or post-postseason, if you will). There are a couple of outlets interested in airing the finished piece.

I'm hoping to talk with some Cubs fans, particularly some native Chicagoans, about their feelings about the season, the NLDS and the future. While this is technically a work-related endeavour, I'm hoping it might also be cathartic for myself and my interview subjects. 

I'll be in Chicago from Friday October 10-Monday October 13. If you would let me to buy you a beer at the Cubbie Bear or the Billy Goat and have a chat, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Please email me at rgragg@gmail.com with your full name and contact info if you're interested.

My next sig line quote will also be from Lou Piniella, and the first word will be either "Look", or "Listen", followed by a comma.

Thanks John -

I’ve already been in touch over there. And yeah, that caller pretty much summed up how I felt Saturday night, er, Sunday morning.
