Random Questions
18. Do you have any of the Support Andrew wristbands, if so, which one(s)? Yes. I drove to Iowa to see the show at IMU. The girl who made the 11:11AM bracelets was there so I bought one.
19. Tell us a short story relevant to Andrew. When I met him for the first time in Illinois I waited in line for 3 hours during Yellowcard and didn't get to meet him until the end of the show. I watched him order pizza and shit and just waited there. When he came out I was so nervous I asked him to sign my tickets and accidentally gave him a bus pass instead of the tickets.
20. What was the best moment from the Live @ Ventura DVD? I drove across the country to the Ventura DVD shoot overnight. During "Wait", I passed out in the crowd and got to sit under Andrew for a good 10 minutes. It was sweet.
21. Describe Andrew in five words. intelligent, real, strong, intriguing, ba-DASS.
22. Do you make icons/graphics/wallpapers/layouts, if so, would you be willing to share them here? I have made a couple, I'd be willing to share them if I can dig them up.
23. How many shows have you been to for either SoCo or JM? If you haven’t, how come? 7 or 8. I'm working on a lot more this summer.
24. Describe Andrew's fans. Many of them are very genuine and awesome. Some of them are really frustrating and bitchy. At shows, it is a death match. I know I am the same way but Andrew always preaches about getting along and no one can really seem to just chill out.
25. Are you involved in any other LJ communities related to Andrew/SoCo/JM etc...? I'm involved in Street Teams but don't really participate.
26. Favorite object in space - be specific- (ie. a planet, a star, a moon, etc) the moon. hands down. i dont care how generic if i had a million dollars i would go to the moon before anything else.
27. In one word each, describe Jack's, Firescape, Something Corporate, Phanotom Planet and Bike Lock.
a. Jack's: fuck.
b. Something Corporate: life.
c. Firescape: lame. (sorry Josh, you're better off in soco)
28. You know Andrew has a way with words... have you picked up any new ones to add to your vocabulary? meh.
29. How has Andrew affected you and your life? I have made the best friends of my life through Something Corporate. The people I've met and the places I've gone are amazing. I have no one else to thank but Andrew McMahon. His music has got me through hard times, it has bound me with 2 of my best friends, and it has brought me all around the country. North is an album I will cherish forever. He could get up on stage and play the Barney theme song and I will fall for it.
