April 11-15, 2005, is officially "Cheese Week" at On Milwaukee. They began the week by interviewing Wisconsin's only "Dairy Lama."
Troy Janisch, creator of DairyLama and founder of Icon Interactive, shared his love for cheese and America's Dairyland in his first-ever interview as The Dairy Lama.
"The persona of the Dairy Lama is very different than my own," Janisch said. "It can be a challenge to forget about everything else and limit my conversation to poetry and cheese."
The interview can be found on www.OnMilwaukee.com.
