In the Times

by Sean on March 13, 2008

There is an interview with me in “Under Western Eyes,” an article on English language Russia blogs for the Moscow Times. I especially like this line about myself. “Despite being recognized at parties and quoted in the press, Guillory is a little uncomfortable about his success.” Parties? Quoted in the press? Eek! I know I’m going to catch some shit for that . . .

Congrats on the write up.

Take it easy, Sean ;)

Chrisius Maximus March 14, 2008 at 3:34 am

How come I never get invited to these parties?

ivanov March 14, 2008 at 4:04 am

Chris! Is this “some shit” Sean is talking about? ;)

Sean March 14, 2008 at 8:16 am

Nah, I know our resident Roman can do better than than.

Chrisius Maximus March 14, 2008 at 4:02 pm

These parties weren’t arranged by Gauls, were they?

Tim Newman March 14, 2008 at 4:32 pm

Anyone who looks through the blog’s archives, which include 563 posts….

And sixty thousand comments by Mike Averko…

Chrisius Maximus March 14, 2008 at 5:02 pm

Wow, that is not how I pictured Sean as looking at all. :)

Chrisius Maximus March 14, 2008 at 5:11 pm

Hmmm, I’m a little surprised they didn’t mention you write for the eXile.

Sean March 14, 2008 at 5:12 pm

In all honesty, I fucking forgot to. Stupid mistake.

Tim Newman March 14, 2008 at 5:18 pm

In all honesty, I fucking forgot to. Stupid mistake.

Hence the importance of promoting yourself and tediously listing all those venues your commentary has appeared at – both real and imagined – at every available opportunity.

Chrisius Maximus March 14, 2008 at 5:21 pm

Averko just pissed you off somewhere, didn’t he, Tim?

Sean March 14, 2008 at 5:35 pm

We might have to retire Mike’s jersey for his thousands of comments.

Tim Newman March 14, 2008 at 6:07 pm

Averko just pissed you off somewhere, didn’t he, Tim?

Nah. I pretty much ignore him nowadays. His ability to piss me off disappeared once I realised he is, in all seriousness, a raving lunatic.

Buster March 15, 2008 at 12:14 pm

Alright, seriously, enough is enough. It’s bad enough that Averko spams me with his updates and corrections to his updates. And now his Kosovo ranting (it’s the tone more than anything that gets me) shows up when I read Counterpunch.

But really, really, do we have to talk about him even when God has granted a respite from the blathering against westmASSmedia?

The dog is sleeping. Let him lie.

On a different note, Sean, I know fending off the paparazzi is difficult, but that’s what you get for going public with your mug. :)

Congrats on the coverage, at any rate.

Apart from growing a moustache, what do I have to do to get a Fulbright-Hays Scholarship?

Tim Newman March 15, 2008 at 4:24 pm

Good point. With that ‘tasche, I sure I’ve seen him in a porn flick somewhere. He does live in California, after all.

That would be certainly “dirty” and may be even “venal”, no?

Sean March 15, 2008 at 4:56 pm

As for the photo. They asked for one, I gave them one. I do have a bit of a porn ‘stache in that one.

Seesaw March 16, 2008 at 12:00 pm

Congrats!

Andy March 17, 2008 at 4:20 am

Nice work, and don’t forget to invite us to a few of these parties… ;-)

IRISHMAN March 17, 2008 at 5:57 am

Congratulations on the write-up Sean:-)Will this new found fame mean freebies for you at Rasputin, etc?:-)

nabovka March 17, 2008 at 5:06 pm

Well-deserved kudos, Sean! Well-deserved, indeed!
