1) What was the first thought you had when you looked at yourself in the mirror this morning?
- Did I really fall asleep with mascara on?! I look awful.

2) You can make one member of MB your slave for the day. Who is it, and what do you have them do?
- Not too sure. I don't know how I feel about the whole having a slave thing - I like doing stuff myself too much.


3) You can re-live any point of time in your life. However, the time-span can only be a half-hour. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?
- Probably the first half hour of the second set my first Phish concert. Although that show has gone down in infamy as being one of (if not the) worst shows since their comeback, I really feel like I was too stunned to really appreciate it at all. I'd loved the band so much, I don't even think I was able to reach the right level of enthusiasm when they played the first "Carini" since 2004. I was also a few people back from the stage, right in front of bassist Mike Gordon. I would love to relive that experience properly.

4) What is the last thing you regret buying?
- A fifth of rum which I only had three shots out of. I got bored and rode home with a friend, and the other people at the house drank the rest of the rum that they didn't pay for.

5) If you had the power to erase one musician and all of their material from history, would you? Who would it be?
- Although I really like them, I'd be interested in seeing how music would have moved along if there'd never been The Beatles.

6) Ren or Stimpy?
- Ren.

1) What was the first thought you had when you looked at yourself in the mirror this morning?
'I should really sleep for at least 6 more hours...'

2) You can make one member of MB your slave for the day. Who is it, and what do you have them do?
Meh.

...and the celebrations that followed it.

4) What is the last thing you regret buying?
I haven't made any big-money purchases lately, so I don't really know.

5) If you had the power to erase one musician and all of their material from history, would you? Who would it be?
Nope. No matter how bad someone sounds, they make little to no impact on my day-to-day life, so why bother?

6) Ren or Stimpy?
Both. It's sacrilege to have one without the other

1) What part of 2010 are you happy to be rid of?
- It was probably one of the more bizarre years I've had; I'm not really "happy" to be rid of it, per say, but I'm still pretty excited and hoping that 2011 will be at least a little bit as interesting as 2010 was for me.

2) What inspired you in 2010?
- Music. Friends. Theatre. Writing. Strangers.

3) Care to share your new years resolution with us?
- I made a resolution to see more shows this year, finally get around to recording an album length recording of original material, and producing another play I've written.

4) How did you ring in the New Year?
- I was going to go camping, but people bailed, so I went to eat in my town, then to my friends' house half an hour away or so where we (most of us) drank quite a bit of Yuengling. Then we went back to Ashland to another friend's house and met his puppy. I think that's where we actually watched the ball drop. After that, I ran into YET ANOTHER friend at the gas station, made plans to meet up with him at about 1:00am, and spent the rest of the time between seeing him and going to his house in the park. 15 year olds offered me gas money in addition to 20 more dollars if I would take them the next state over and buy them alcohol. I was convinced it was a sting operation, so I declined. Also, I wasn't about to take random minors across state lines, even if it was only 10 minutes from the park. Once at my friends house, we drank a lot more, toked up a bit, and had an overall good time. I made it home by 7am, I think.

5) Planning any travels this year? Do tell.
- New England...I'm relocating up North this year, I believe. Should be fun.

6) What is one album that came out this past year, that we all need to hear?
- All of them. Sample all of them. You don't need my opinion on any specific album. Pick one you love.

1) What part of 2010 are you happy to be rid of?
Being a recluse.
2) What inspired you in 2010?
I went to Zambia and saw this really poor village that was in walking distance of an upper-middle class, if not wealthy city. And by poor, I mean these people were living like a Native American tribe when there was not only civilized, but thriving life just a walk away. It inspired me to do more charity.
3) Care to share your new years resolution with us?
To be more socia,
4) How did you ring in the New Year?
I had to go to something pretty early this morning. Sucks, but I had to be asleep an hour before the new year unless I wanted to be late.
5) Planning any travels this year? Do tell.
No, not really.
6) What is one album that came out this past year, that we all need to hear?
I'm embarresed to say nothing really struck me as absolutely 100% genius, with every track amazing and no filler etc etc.
Then I went into the "best albums of 2010" thread, and after looking up some of the mentioned on youtube, I had 12 albums to buy after, like, half of the first page. I guess I was listening to all the wrong music, man. I feel like an idiot.

1) What part of 2010 are you happy to be rid of?
I can't really think of anything that would have sucked until the following calendar year, then go away. Maybe that's not really the question, but I can't be bothered anyway.

2) What inspired you in 2010?
Something I bought from a friend.

3) Care to share your new years resolution with us?
I don't make them. When I really want to start or stop doing something, I do it then and there. I just never really want to start/stop anything.

4) How did you ring in the New Year?
In bed sleeping. I had been partying for 2 days prior. Had just as much fun as I would have on NYE, except earlier. Same thing, different time.

5) Planning any travels this year? Do tell.
No.

6) What is one album that came out this past year, that we all need to hear?
Nothing (album wise) 2010 has made a big enough impression for me to recommend it to everyone.

Breathing.

3) Care to share your new years resolution with us?
Smoke more, drink more, eat more fast food.

To the fridge and back.
