I had very similar experiences.
I'm not sure how much I like feigned my taste per se, but I certainly felt very intimidated in those circles.
In 2000, the summer of 03, I was an intern at Spin.
And that was a very, to me, a very hallowed period of time at that magazine because of all the people that worked there.
Many of whom people know, you know, Chuck Klosterman was working there at the time.
Sia Michael was the editor-in-chief.
Karen Gans, who's at the New York Times now.
Alex Papademos, like David Itzkoff, like John Dolan, Charles Aaron, who I idolized.
Like a ton of magazine writers and editors who knew I thought everything about everything and whose taste was superlative.
And I was really, really intimidated.
And I'm really... I have no shortage of ego.
But I really didn't know how to talk to... I was afraid to talk to those people.
And I wish I had spent more time talking to them.
I always think of it as very fortunate that later in life I got to be friends with Chuck and got to know him.
Because I just loved his writing so much and the way that he thought about things.
But I completely related to the experience that that character is having in that way.
