They may ask you a few simple questions, like "What's this for?" or "What's
the goal of the project?". So you just answer "experimental interface
design for musical instrument" or something lofty you've daydreamed about
but will probably never get around to. Talk like a junior in college--half
clueless but you know some buzzwords.

Maxim is another one you want to hit up...they've got good stuff...
