Hey, I wound up in the New Times! They wanted to know what sort of edibles I’m slurping into my gullet. Check out Justin Schmid, What are you eating?. It features a photo of me menacing the camera with a half-eaten possum pie at the Sandfly Cafe somewhere between Franz Josef and Nelson in New Zealand.
Rene, our bus driver was thrilled as only a Naked Bus employee can be. During our break at the Sandfly Cafe, he went up to all the other passengers telling them that I was eating possum pie … he had very distinct “see, he ate it and didn’t die” tone in his voice. It was hysterical. When he was done telling everyone else, he wanted to talk to me about it.
“It’s easy to eat, i’n't, mate?” he kept repeating.
Awesome guy. Best bus driver ever.
The post also has me extolling the virtues of Sun Up Brewing, golden beets and other cool things I like eating.

Congratz! I’m not sure which is cooler… The fact that you wound up in the New York Times, or the fact that you ate possum pie!!
Hey, stranger! Are you getting your blog back on?
That was actually the New Times, no York in the middle. It’s a chain of weekly newspapers owned by Village Voice. The best thing about it is that most of the chain has the Savage Love column, which is gross/funny beyond words.
Jeez, no I feel like a loser that it wasn’t the New York Times. Maybe I’ll make that my goal for 2010!
