Going to the moon w/ Kid Cudi
(New Kid Cudi tee officially available online today)
Waiting for a phonecall from Kid Cudi. I shouldn’t be, because I interviewed him @ Motown last week, but he was running late and upon his arrival the following conversation took place. If we’d gotten straight to business maybe I wouldn’t be waiting for this call— which is late — but in retrospect, totally worth it. Full interview on Blackbook next week, but in the mean time, see what happens when two space cadets collide:
Deska: I was reading on your Myspace that your life’s goal is to go to the moon. ::He immediately starts cracking up::
Seriously, I’ve been dying to go to the moon since I was ten, and then last summer I was doing <fill in the blank activity> and realized that I actually NEED to go ::He’s cracking up even more:: So why do YOU want to go to the moon, and when are we going?!?
Cudi: That’s a goal that could be very much possible in the future and I was thinking one day like, man, I’ve got this whole man on the moon theme and it’s definitely metaphorical, but one day I should really just go to the moon! I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to buy a ticket, like you can buy a ticket for a space shuttle, it’s a fucking crap load of money, but hey…
Deska: Nope. Recession. Get this — BlackBook posted an article about this a few weeks ago and I almost died. Because of the recession flights are discounted and prices start at $95,000. That’s not that bad!
Cudi: To go to the moon??
Deska: To go the fucking moon! $95,000. Ridiculous. We’re going right??
Cudi: We could do this for real??
Deska: For real, for real. I mean, I guess I would put it in my 5 to 10 year plan because I don’t have $95G (and won’t anytime soon)
Cudi: Oh! No, I’m saying…is this for real? Like a real thing? ::He’s cracking up again:: You’re talking like “No, I don’t know if I can afford that,” hahaha. I’m saying I didn’t know that was possible, I heard you could do that, but who does one reach out to?
Then I offered to find out and let his publicist know.
Cudi: Have people done this already?
Deska: Hasn’t started, I think it’s supposed to start after 2010 but I think I’ll give it a couple years to see how many shuttles explode, and then I’ll go when it’s safe.
Cudi: It should be okay…
Then I decided it was time to start the actual interview. Stay tuned for the real thing next week.
