I’ve got an interview scheduled, GULP!

Okay I think I may be dropping into the deep end here, but at the EIF next Monday I’ll be interviewing Hilmar Petursson, CEO of CCP.

I went and bought a dictaphone, I’ve come up with some questions, but other than that I’m completely lost. I have no Idea about the etiquette for these affairs or the best way to go about making sure I get to ask all the things I want to in the time allotted.

I am aware of the need to prioritise questions, ask the ones that you definitely want answers to first. I also know that I may need to ad-lib some questions on the fly if the conversation heads in an interesting direction. Time will be limited, and I have to squeeze in a reader question (if I get any).

I’m going to be squeezing in a lot of research over the next week, both into the man himself and what he’s said previously about EVE, I don’t want to be asking questions that he’s been asked before.

Any advice would be gratefully recieved.
