Some journalism students covered my most recent student showcase as a project for their class, and I give them an A--not just for the piece, but for their journalists' etiquette. It's usually fairly difficult to accommodate ANY press, much less students, and they made the most out of a really tight situation! They had to shoot from a rough angle and got about two minutes of time from each of us for the interviews.

Here's a clip someone posted of the show. Plus, an article about a workshop I taught at Swarthmore: Swatties Learn to Shimmy at Burlesque Workshop I am THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD.
