"We're Ready for Our Close-ups, Mr. DeMille, er, I Mean Mr. Sebak"

The Once Monthly Saturday North Side Morning Breakfast Club, of which I have written many times, had an exciting experience this morning today at Ye Allegheny Sandwich Shoppe, one of the North Side's finer establishments.

Dan Bonk, Jim Haller, Len Martin and I were interviewed and video taped for one of Rick Sebak's upcoming WQED Pittsburgh documentaries.  The title of the show will be "The History of Pittsburgh in 17 Objects", and, please, don't ask why Rick is limiting it to only 17 objects.

As you might guess, Rick has chosen one of his objects to be sports related, and that is what brought him to the four of us this day at Ye Allegheny Sandwich Shoppe.  I am not going to spoil the surprise as to what the object was we were discussing, although you may be able to surmise what it is by looking at the pictures below.

It was really interesting to be a part of one of Rick's shows and to see what goes into making one of these very special WQED shows.  It was a lot of fun to be a part of it, no matter what may end up on the cutting room floor.

Here you see Rick interviewing Yours Truly:

Of course, there is no guarantee as to how much, if any of the footage filmed today will make it onto the final show, but hey, we can dream, can't we?

No air date has been set, but Rick is hoping for a debut sometime in April. Naturally, I will keep you all informed as more information becomes known.
