Hypothetical star


The Interview Pidgeon is a mythical beast found in Hypothetical 7 folklore. Hype 7 has been around for like 15 years now, and when they first started out, they were based in Lawrence. Several members moved to KC and then they switched back and forth from Lawrence and Kansas City for practices. Tonight we rehearsed in KC in our usual location, a temple that's downtown, in the preschool room. There's a small alcove at the back that says, "Peace" and a bird in a cage underneath the sign. I think it's a meditation space, or as I call it, based on the fact that it's a preschool room, "creative time-out." Somewhere over the years this bird was filmed in an H7 movie. A man was being questioned by a "magazine" reporter, and said something strange, and the reporter said, "Great, now you've upset the interview pidgeon." I don't know if that's the origin of the phrase or if it was their joke back then, but we all still call it the interview pidgeon. This is Jen, Nifer (who is listening to the wise whisperings of the pidgeon, apparently) Tiffany and I posing with said Interview Pidgeon. Lookin' good there, feathered friend. We had a great rehearsal.
