Conversations From GodKnowsWhere #6: Tim Hall

With Jason Michel

Tim Hall is not cool, okay?

If you want cool, go and read a book about a drug addict lying in his own vomit, or someone being blown by a giant crab.

So pack your bags people, we’re going to New Orleans …

JM – Hello Kristin,

Whenever I think of New Orleans, I think of voodoo, (or is that vaudou) and all things spooky à la Angel Heart, Interview with a Vampire et al.
Also there’s your recent Cemetery In Blue series of photos.
