q: What is your favorite food?

a: Mexican food from San Diego–it can’t be beat.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

Dead City/Waste Wilderness (mp3) by Abe Vigoda
Two-Headed Coin (mp3) by Obits

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?

a: The Bowery Ballroom for a few reasons: 1) it sounds great, 2) the people working there are the shit, 3) it feels classy, so I feel classy.
