Schmatty walked up to Marquise Henry after our interview in front of The SPoT. He had just fallen on his ass. The pain was still so fresh in and inhibiting of his lower back/buttocks region that he couldn’t locate what specific area he had hurt. I took this as an opportunity to interview him. To ease the pain of sitting down, we moved from the wooden picnic tables and had a stand up interview.
