Interview With a Goth

So I've wanted to start doing interviews with fellow bloggers or really any one involved in the goth subculture or the like for a while now and I finally got around to writing down a few questions. I've answered the questions myself to give you guys an idea of what it would be like for participants.

If you would like to be involved in Interview With a Goth you can comment here, nominating yourself or others (all they need is an email address) or if you would prefer you can drop me a line at sydneysomething@hotmail.com or contact me on facebook if we're connected.


All I would need is the person's answers and a nice picture of them (with permission to use it of course).

I would also like your input on the questions, whether that be suggestions for more or even concerns about any ones I've answered myself (like..I mean are they too personal etc..) I was thinking this might be a monthly thing, but if it turns out moe popular than I could make it more often.

Anyway, here we go!

    Maybe a question like 'first goth band' or 'when/how did you get into goth' might be good idea?

  4. I better start writing down a list of willing victims...err I mean participants ...

    >.>

    Hehe

    Okay well Laura do you wanna go first then? And obviously I don't mean just goths, anything alternative that overlaps. I'm not really that much of a goth, I just call myself that because it's easier for people not in the scene to understand.

    Saskia do you mean the first goth band they liked? And also I considered your second suggestion but it might be a bit of a novel for some folk :P
