Here's the entire unedited Regina Spektor interview from my Missbehave piece that came out this month. I did the interview via phone and Regina was an absolute doll. One of the nicest, most real and gracious people I've ever worked with. She was super easy to talk with and we got along pretty well right from the start, which is often rare considering, for an interview, two complete strangers are are sort of just forced to talk to one another and get along to produce an entertaining story.
Regina Spektor:
Hello?
Rob Brink:
Is this Regina?
Yeah it is.
Hi it's Robert from Missbehave magazine.
Hi Robert!
How are you?
I'm good how are you?
I'm ok; just wanna get this interview goin'. I know you don't have a lot of time.
Yeah.
You sound like you just woke up.
Ya I did. Totally.

This interview I did with Beetlejuice for Stance magazine back in 2003 was one of the most amazing half hours of my life. Sorry the footage is so dark. Beetle kinda blends intot he background. I recorded this from a VHS tape that was a copy of a copy of a copy...Stay tuned for some pretty outrageous video from the photo shoot.

This one is kind of embarrassing. Don't remember saying it, but evidently it came outta my mouth in Tampa last year at the Am contest or something. So chances are I was wasted, therefore, this quote doesnt really count. Or does it?

Remember Ronnie's rain part in Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song? Yeah, that shit pretty much ruled. I was stoked when I got to see some real life Creager rain action on the Hot Dogs & Hessians tour a few months ago. Here's a pretty sweet moment.

Always stoked when Nate Sherwood and I have a convo and then he publicly misquotes me. He got the jist of it though.

Here's some footage from the X Games 12 Women's Street competition that you probably won't see in many places. Unfortunately, the gals still aren't getting the attention they deserve. There were no X Games TV cameras at this event, but the purse is growing at least, thank God. Maybe next year the multi-million-dollar-making X Games can spring for some coverage, because, quite honestly, these girls are doing more to promote X Games at this point than X Games are doing to promote these girls....
