What's the craziest thing a fan has ever done for you? Or have you encountered anything crazy yet?.
Once at a show I had some people ask me where they could get the House of Fools shirt w/ the keyboard on it. We dont have a shirt w/ a keyboard on it so I was totally confused and when I asked what they were talking about, they pointed to this guy with the coolest HoF shirt I've ever seen. It had a vertical keyboard going up the back of it and spelled out House of Fools on all of the Black keys. I talked to the guy and he said he hand made it because we are his favorite band. That was pretty cool.

What band has been the best/your favourite to tour with? Who would you love to tour with?
I love very many bands that we've toured with so it would be unfair for me to pick just one. I really love Paulson, Far - Less, Steel Train, He is Legend and Classic Case. All of those bands are like brothers to me, and the also write really important music people need to be listening to. I would love to tour with The Chili Pepper, Smashing Pumpkins, Muse, and Tom Petty. I would also hate to tour w/ all of them because they would make me feel like my band sucks every night. Ha ha

If you were a piñata, what shape would you be & what would you be filled with?
If I were a pinata, I would probably be shaped like someone you hate so you really have a reason to want to hit me, I never got why you would want to make a pinata look really pretty just to destroy it. I would be filled with Resses peanut butter cups, choclate and peanut butter are the best combo ever.

What are some of your absolute favourite movies?
Amelie, The Big Lebowski, The Aviator, Almost Famous, The Goonies

What's your favourite oldschool tv show?
Tough question, but I'll have to say Saved By the Bell.

If you were stranded on a desert island -- what 5 things would you bring with you?
Guitar, Paper and Pencils, Some whiskey, a cool girl, and a teleportaion device so I could leave when I was ready.

What band/musicians would you say inspire you the most?
Personally, Band : Red Hot Chilli Peppers, All time most influential musician in my life : Jimi Hendrix

If you could re-unite any one band --- which would it be?
I would reincarnate Led Zeppelin circa 1977.

What was the best show you've ever been to? Why?
Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters when I was in 11th grade. Tenth row seats and Dave Grohl haucked a luggie on a security guard in front of the stage and jumped over him and the barracades and ran through the crowd in mid song, then stood in the middle of the crowd at the ampetheatre and sang a song from there. Also I stood on my seat and yelled at Flea when he was talking about something and he pointed at me and said "Hell Yea! I see ya budy!" That was cool for me.

Any last comments?
I cant wait for it to snow.
