Heidi Huber started her career with the sink or swim theory. Luckily she knows the freestyle which has taken her from the Chicago stage to behind the scenes in Los Angeles where she currently continues to tap as The Whole 9’s Chief of Everything Else.
Did you smoke cigarettes, make prank calls, or listen to music you didn’t necessarily like? Back in “those days” when your security was in short supply, what silly things did you do just to fit in?
Is it something silly like “flabbergasted” or “numpty”, or something that you think no one would really find funny that gets your belly laughs going?
What’s one word that almost always makes you laugh?
I haven’t been into the Super Bowl in many years, and we’re not even attending (nor hosting) any party for the Big Game. Is it the commercials, the food, or simply the game itself? Hey Sports Fans, what’s the best part of the Super Bowl?
Tonight, The Whole 9 Gallery opens “The Human Touch”, unveiling the human form as seen through the eyes of one photographer and three painters from The Whole 9.com
There are some gorgeous and graceful bodies gracing these walls, I tell ya. And while I wouldn’t deem myself worthy to pose for any of Hugh Hamilton’s underwater photos, I’m comfy in my body.
Are you comfortable in your body?
Is it “Home Sweet Home” or is it “Whoa Big Brother”? Are you wrapping yourself in the flag or packing your bags? Or are you too busy to answer because you are Occupying ___(insert city name here.)
When you think about your country, what three words best describe it?
I continually say, “The world gets smaller and smaller.” Once you’ve lived awhile, once you’ve lived and worked in a number of places, all of a sudden it’s like, “No way! I went to school with Jen Ray!” Crazy…
What the craziest Small World story you’ve got?
This QOD suggestion comes from TW9’s own COE (Chief of Everything) Lisa Schultz. Where does she find the time? I’m sure thought of this when she was awake at 4 o’clock this morning…
Is it money or is it a soul mate? A chance to visit with a family member or a an unexpected trip of a lifetime? Or is it something less tangible…
What would make tomorrow the best day of your life?
My first exposure to live Blues music was at Kingston Mines in Chicago. Baa-BAA-ba-BUH! God, I hated it. From then on, I didn’t care what kind of Blues you played, I hated it. Blanket the entire Blues genre!
In the band I’m in, we play some blues. Yeah, that karma is a bitch, and I even sing one entire blues song by myself. Sigh…but at least it’s not that Baa-BAA-ba-BUH crap.
What’s one thing you knocked until you tried?
On this day, January 30, 1969, The Beatles made their last public performance giving an impromptu concert on the rooftop of a London recording studio. I love watching excerpts of this concert, the look, and the raw feel on a cold UK day with what still remains the most famous band of all time…
What’s your favorite impromptu moment?
There are writers that have had a book leap to the top of the New York Times Best-Sellers List, I read the book, and sometimes I wonder what all the fuss is about…not much of the time, but sometimes.
Then there are writers like Leif Enger who writes poetry on each page of his novel, Peace Like a River. You don’t know him? It’s because he’s unknown and under-rated!
What writers do you feel are under or over-rated?
Hey Heidi…maybe better than live painting next Saturday?
