Hey SF Wikimedians,
A TV crew is in town from Brazil this week, shooting for a Portuguese TV show for what I understand to be a predominantly business-themed network.
Per the note below, they're looking for a few people to interview - general interest stories from Wikimedians would be great.
They don't specify the dates here, but I suspect they're hoping to interview on Thursday or Friday.
Let me know directly if you have some availability either of those days and I will try to connect you. I believe they will be mobile and could come directly to you if necessary.
Thanks!

Dear Jay, This is to confirm our interview on Thursday and also to ask you a little favour. We are searching for people with interesting stories involving Wikipedia to include in the documentary. That could be a teacher that uses Wikipedia in the classroom, a keen Wikipedia contributor, or anyone with a interesting story to tell that lives around San Francisco. Can you think of anyone that would agree to be interviewed on camera? Thanks very much again, Alex
Hi Jay,
I could do this. But I would prefer to be a last resort candidate for several reasons: 1) I don't edit on wikipedia but only on other projects, and primary not on en ones either, 2) I'm not in the least photogenic, nor a nice average mainstream American-looking person. If you get very desperate you can ask me, basically. :-P
