Human Interaction
We interviewed our neighbor Jacob Peregrin, co-owner of Human Interaction in Downtown Norman. Here what he’s been up to!
What's been going on in your world and circles lately?
Life has been wild this past week. Had an unexpected heart attack & literally had to be revived. It was completely unexpected & really took a toll. Spent a couple nights in the hospital & have been slowly healing up at home this week. Lotsa resting & trying to do things when I can to continue to build strength.
Anything in particular you've been working on?
Just one day at a time. No complaints all things considered! But getting stamina back is going to take some time.
Other projects you see happening around that are cool?
The support from the community has been immense. So many folks have taken the time to reach out, check in and show love. Not to mention all the support we've seen through meals, donations, volunteering & people shopping in the store! We've never been the ones to ask for help, so it was uncomfortable at first, but holy smokes people have truly shown us another level of kindness! This community continues to blow our minds.
Future things you are looking forward to?
Getting back to the new normal! Its going to take time, but can't wait to get back into the the shop & back into life.
Favorite bands / albums lately?
Been blaring some older albums start to firish that we've been singing along to this week. Sublime's Self Titled, LCD Soundsytems This is Happening & Brockhamptons The Family have been on repeat. Nirvana's Marigold track that is the only song Dave Grohl sand solo on has been on repeat too.
Visual artists (or whatever people) you've been digging lately?
Ruth Annes new work has been bringing us all the joy.
She brought back her teeth collection & we can't wait to see more.
