As a part of the new story theme, EVENT, I've made contact with a group of UMD alumni who've been playing the video game Halo together once a year since their graduation as a means of keeping in touch and being able to share in their "glory days" of hooking up four Xbox consoles and getting as many as 16 people together on a single game.
I've made contact with the three founding members and some of their friends who have joined them over the years, and I'll be conducting interviews with them over the course of this next week.
On the topic of the PERSON article, I've decided to shift my focus from what I'd initially been thinking to something I find is much more interesting.
Back in 2009, a local artist was being praised for her works of art using only crayons. One would think that with all the publicity she was getting that she'd have done well for herself. Tiona Marco had a shop in DeWitt-Sites, a blog, and an etsy account. But I've noticed that over the course of the years, she's all but disappeared from the web. Nothing remains on her blog or her etsy and her studio has been closed for a long time now. I want to find her and find out what happened.
This might seem an impossible task, but I spent a good amount of time talking to her when she had her studio open and I know things about her that aren't common knowledge (like her real name).
