Interview with a Danpire

Hello Readers, sorry for the delay in posts. But today we’re totally making it up to you as we present our first in a series of interviews called:

A/S/L Check - An Ignighter Interview Series - Hard Questions, Soft Bodies.

We start off the series with an interview exclusive that Ignighter fought really hard to get; co-founder Dan Osit, 25. Dan is a NJ native with a penchant for cable news shows, talk radio, WSJ Op-Ed columns and anything else that helps him adopt other people’s quasi-informed opinions.

Ignighter: Dan, we’re really honored to have you here today. Thanks for coming.

Dan: Adam, we’re in my apartment. I just buzzed you in 10 minutes ago.

Ignighter: Right. Moving on.

Dan: k.

Ignighter: I think it makes the most sense for us to start at the beginning. Tell us about the night of your conception.

Dan: Well I don’t remember much because I was really young. But I will say that I haven’t been back to Cabo since.

Ignighter: Ok let’s skip ahead a little. Let’s talk about the College Years. Didn’t you think it was odd that Screech accompanied all the kids to Cal U only to become their RA?

Dan: Huh, Screech?

Ignighter: Alright, apparently somebody bailed on Saved By the Bell before it got good. But that’s ok. Tell us about your college years.

Dan: Well I attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. My Freshman year I joined a fraternity called Zeta Beta Tau…We affectionately called it ZBT. Hehehe.

Ignighter: Ohhh a frat boy! I bet there’s a lot of dirt to dig up there!

Dan (confused): Adam you were in the frat too.

Ignighter: Hmm seems like I hit a nerve. Maybe we should press on.

Dan: OK.

Ignighter: What was your major at Northwestern?

Dan: Communication Studies.

Ignighter: And do you think that has made you a better communicator in the business world?

Dan: Yes.

Ignighter: Can you give any examples?

Dan: Lots.

<<awkward silence>>

Ignighter: I wanted to bring up a pretty well documented event that happened early in your Sophomore year at Northwestern.

Dan: Oh yeah?

Ignighter: Yeah. Legend has it, that during the first lecture of Theories of Modern Mathematics, you struck up an enlightening conversation with a doe-eyed, breathtaking, young ingenue who for all intents and purposes has left an indelible mark in the forming of the fine young man you are today. Can you tell us about this chance encounter?

Dan: Well I’m pretty sure we’re talking about you again. And isn’t an ingenue a woman?

Ignighter: Is it? Again, we press on. I understand that after graduating you formed a company called Glenpoint Capital Partners. How many partners did you have?

Dan: I had 6 partners.

Ignighter: Sounds like a typical weekend for me. Zing!

Dan: I’m quite certain you don’t utilize the same level of “risk management” techniques with your partnerships though.

Ignighter (crest-fallen): zing.

Dan: Yes and then I left Glenpoint in late 2007 to c0-found Ignighter, a group-to group to dating and social networking service.

Ignighter: Hmmm sounds like a great idea. Well before we go, I want to close by asking you the same questions that we ask all our guests before they leave… your apartment.

Dan: Nice, shoot.

Ignighter: What is your favorite word?

Dan: Dogan.

Ignighter: What is your least favorite word?

Dan: Juice.

Ignighter: Boxers or Commando?

Dan: Boxers.

Ignighter: Favorite smell?

Dan: Cheese.

Ignighter: What historical figure would you most like to go on a date with?

Dan: Golda Meir.

Ignighter: Dan we want to thank you so much for coming here today and honoring us with this interview exclusive! It’s been great.

Dan: I live here, idiot.

Ignighter: Be sure to check back next week when we welcome another very special guest on:
