A few weeks ago I was on holiday and got a message on my cell from a reporter at the Dominion Post who was looking for Steve Jackson to comment on some crazy kayaking thing that some people were doing.
This morning I got a call from a reporter at a radio station in Auckland who was trying to find out how to get hold of the under-20 team management or coach. To which I replied “umm, no idea”.
Apparently I’ve become the default contact person for all things ice hockey.
I’ll take those phone calls if you want? I have a range of different accents and styles of voice. My Russian is excellent and I can pull off Canadian real well to in case they want to talk the the assistant. I just need an untraceable mobile first.
I get some random requests on occasion too.
The most recent one was from a company called Grant Thornton[/url:rlsb6w1h], who want to use video footage from here in a promotional DVD for their company???? Apparently Sean Abe who plays in Auckland and is in one of my videos works for Grant Thornton.
I also get requests for team uniforms, merchandise, instructional DVD’s and copies of the program I made the website with (trying to explain that Notepad will do the job opens up a whole ‘nother can of worms!).
The funniest ones are usually when people ask why I don’t create another league, team or whatever other idea someone has. Some people seem quite surprised when I tell them that I don’t run the ENTIRE club
Apparently running the website makes people think that I do everything
