One of my weirdest jobs was working as a brand ambassador for Cracker Jack snack mix at the Country Jam music festival in Grand Junction, Colorado. We (all women) wore cowboy hats and skimpy shorts and dragged a wagon around the festival filled with snack mix samples. Rumor was that the motorhome that was our home base had been built on “Pimp My Ride.” It had a dunk tank on the back, so drunk festivalgoers could throw bean bags at a target on the bus, and if they aimed well it made the girl in a bikini, propped up at the dunk tank, fall into the water. All the men cheered. Alas, after one girl had to leave for a family emergency, I volunteered to become the new dunk tank girl because I knew it made more money than snack girl. I still have a scar from the mechanism malfunctioning and dropping me into the tank too soon.

I just came across this book the other day and fell in love with the cover. Great interview, friend!
