The first time I met Nico, he was wearing that very shirt, walking around Queen's Park at RvBTO 2006. Nico was also the very first high-profile guest on the show, having been the frontman for the band that did the music for Red Vs Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles. and I was a nervous nelly. Up to that point I had been interviewing people I talked to every day on redvsblue.com While the good sir is my friend, he also had a substantial fan following, more fans, probably, then all the previous guests I had had on the show combined. Suddenly, I was kind of in the spotlight.
I somehow managed to stammer through it. And, as usual, OboeCrazy pulls my butt out of the fire with awesome questions I never even considered.
Luckily, it was a great show and a great interview. Nico did not spare praise and was gracious enough to promote the appearance himself. There's a good deal of stuff on Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, but also some jewels about The Uggos, his collaboration with Jeff Williams and soundtrack to the The Sims-based machinima The Strangerhood that lead to the current incarnation of Trocadero. It's a great dissection of his work and, in my view as a Trocadero fan, a must-listen for anyone who likes the band.
