Raindance News
New intern Tallon Moss rants
Imagine sitting down at the beach on a 40 degree day...Your shoes are off, toes wedged in the white sand that stretches for miles along the coast. You look left, the right, noticing that your closest neighbours are merely specks in the distance.
Imagine now that you are 9000 miles away from this place, braving freezing winds, tackling masses of crowds on the subway and not seeing the sun for what feels like days.
Interning at Raindance involves a lot of (un) glamorous work that simply needs to be done! Stuffing envelopes, posting mail, updating twitter accounts... But I'm loving it a whole lot, and wouldn't trade places with any bronzed Australian right now for anything.

It was on that premise that Adam Bertocci wrote Two Gentlemen of Lebowski a clash of culture and language hitherto unseen - and remarkably funny too.

'Go see it and see for yourself why you shouldn't go see it.'
'Here I am paying big money to you writers, and what for? All you do is change the words.'
'Don't pay any attention to the critics - don't even ignore them.'
