My former N&O co-worker Geoff Edgers left the Triangle back in 2002 to go to the Boston Globe, where he's an arts reporter. But he is also venturing into films, and his first project is a doozy: a documentary chronicling his attempts to reunite the original lineup of The Kinks. Check out the preview trailer -- I still can't quite believe some of the folks he got on-camera for this!

ADDENDUM (1/25/09): Another friend made good.

Or check the interview in Friday's paper.
