Koji Interview!
By: alacrijax productions
NASIOC member Koji, aka Patrick Rosario, made the worldwide news circuit after he outwitted some idiot criminals. This impromptu interview was intended for the Money Shot, but his responses about his experiences were too funny not to put here. Koji has an epic thread on NASIOC.com called, 32 Mods for My 32nd Birthday and is worth checking out.
PRoN: Hey bud, we're going to put you as our Money Shot Mancrush of the Month for February, I got some questions for the story, I know you've been inundated with reporters recently, so it should be easy by now.
Koji: Shoot.
PRoN: What's the experience been like being in just about every news show?
Koji: Crazy. I've gotten at least 50 phone calls from the media from as far away as asia and the UK and having three TV crews come through was nuts. It takes like 3 hours to film something that airs for less than five minutes. I'm no actor, but I had to do "retakes" like 25 times.
In terms or radio I've done a few morning shows. I was actually on the BBC morning show if you can believe it. The story's gone worldwide. I made the mistake of googling myself this morning and there were reports in Greek, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and even more remote places like Romania and Latvia, and Uzebekistan. Nuts. Absolutely nuts.
PRoN: Amazing. Did anything NASIOC-y show up in any of the news reports?
Koji: My subaru can be seen in a couple of the news reports. I mentioned NWIC and Nasioc during every interview but they never used it. I was working on two projects when the jackasses broke in: 1) a toy for my son and 2) a V1 Radar enclosure for the suby. They edited out the V1 and just kept the kids toy of course.
PRoN: ROFL. What are your thoughts on being our Mancrush?
Koji: I lived in San Francisco for four years...I've had worse.
PRoN: Anything else you'd like to add about the experience?
Koji: At least my 15 minutes is for doing something clever. I could be getting a Darwin Award with some of the crap I've done and lived through.
Koji's thread on NASIOC detailing the whole story.
Thanks Koji!
