What is the one food that you would never give up?
Can I answer this not with a specific food, but rather a classification of restaurants? Then I choose: diners. I will break down if diner food is one day is obsolete.
An entrepreneur! When I was in grade school my mom subscribed me to Entrepreneur magazine and I loved reading about business ideas and the articles. I used to dream I'd goto Wharton (Harvard Upenn Business) and start the next fortune 500. True story: I used to run errands on my bicycle for siblings and neighbors for a rake of whatever it costs. Sure I'd by them a fifty cent popsicle, if they gave me a dollar fifty
Which was your most adventurous trip? What all did you do?
Bonnaroo 2010 roadtrip. 4,100 miles round trip in my 4runner. Three guys, one girl... all coworkers. Our stops included Albuquerque, OKC, Memphis, Roo, Kansas City, Denver, and Las Vegas. 12 days. What an adventure. Changed my life! Hell. I wouldnt be here if wasn't for that trip. (And I wouldnt be at that trip if it wasn't for here... funny how that works...)

What are you excited for (non concert/fest related)? What was the last thing that made you laugh? Do you dance in the car? Favorite type of pie? Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever experienced Deja-vu? First concert? Have you ever taken dance lessons? Have you ever cried because you were so happy? Hot tea or cold tea?
What is your favorite way to prepare chicken to eat?
I first read this question as "what's your favorite way to prepare to eat chicken?" My immediate thought was: a nice sweet corn side dish if you know what I'm saying . But to answer your question: mexican stlye chicken asada would be my choice!
What are you excited for (non concert/fest related)?
I am gearing up to start a youtube channel, and I don't know if this will be a succesful endeavor or a total bomb, we will see! Right now I am still in the planning and development stage, and I will probably will be collaborating with a creative friend who is interested in doing the same.
I laugh all the time, every day I did have a moment yesterday with my cubicle mate when we couldn't stop cracking up about something, but now that it's today I completely forget what it was.
My short answer is "no"; but I do believe that the spirit and essence of someone who has died may come over you at one point and influence in a certain way or another. It is all dependent on how much value you attribute to that person, and how you spiritually emotionally feel by them. It's like people make fun of the Catholics because of the litany of saints... well.... to me the saints aren't really watching over us per se, but rather you can meditate and "pray to St. ---" or pray to your dead grandma or whatever, and what it does is it centers your mind and spirituality to really feel out what should be done or something.
I don't know. I am going to stop typing out an answer to that question because I have a lot to say. I also lately have been growing much disdain for the Catholic church, but that's completely independent of my spiritual nature.
YES. Wanna know the craziest part? There was a time when I had a crazy amount of Deja Vu in a concentrated period of time. Like an abnormal amount. It was all centered around the Total Access experience in 2011. I was having Deja Vu at the stages, backstage, in our living area and dining room, the trees. Multiple times a day. It started to freak me out. I was convinced that I had dreamed about Total Access before and all those dream moments were become weird vivid realities.
I think it's important to note too that that trip and experience was crazy life changing, and I'm not using that term in a exaggerated sense. I am definitely in a different spot in my life now because of that, in a variety of many ways. Someone once told me, Deja Vu has been reported to happen when your inner mind is shifting focus or going through a significant change. I never thought about that before, but like a year later made the connection.
Britney Spears. Staples Center. 2001. Dream within a Dream tour. (A girl I had a crush on asked me to go the day of, her other friend cancelled. I was in the seventh grade.)
I guess technically this answer is "yes" because I was in the musicals when I was in high school and we did have a professional choreographer and dance workshops. I am not any good though lol.
The day I got the e-mail that I had won the stubhub contest I was at home on my lunch break from work. When I got back work, I started to choke up when I told my boss. We had to go outside so the customers didn't think I was crazy and he calmed me down. It was like a "I'm so excited" cry, I couldn't stop rambling and just blurting out every thought and feeling that came to my head. It took about five minutes of just telling him for me to get back in there and try to work lol.
Hot tea makes my stomach "bleh" for some reason, especially Green Tea. Cold tea FTW and especially love the super fake sweet stuff like Diet Snapple, Brisk, and Nestea.

Hi Gregory!
Do you remember why I call you by the non-shortened version of your name? How many pairs of shoes do you own? How many of them are in active rotation in your wardrobe? How many pillows are on your bed? Do you sleep with socks on or off? Do you get up early on your days off or sleep in? Which of these 3 traits is most important in your ideal mate: kind heart, sense of humor, intelligence? Favorite non-alcoholic beverage? Do you drink enough water? When's the last time you went down a slide? Favorite meal of the day? How many times a week do you eat out at restaurants? Do you bring your lunch to work? If so, do you have a lunch box? Favorite kitchen gadget? Do you have a smart phone? If so, how attached to it are you? What's your personality type according to Myers-Briggs? What's your astrological sign? Do you buy-in to astrology?
Tom! Thank you. Sorry I lagged on answering these questions. Life got really busy, but here I am! I am having loads of fun I'm still all giddy and bashful that Abra even considered me to be chosen.
I think you asking me favorite variety of tree? I, instead, would rather answer with my favorite specific tree: the big giant one that gives me shade in that one glorious spot on the farm where you can both hear/see the "This Tent" and are also able to turn around and people watch the fountain. I tried googling pictures of it, but I couldn't come up with anything.
April 12-14th - Indio, CA - Coachella Weekend 1
May 3-5th - Memphis, TN - Beale St. Music Festival
June 13-16th - Manchester, TN - Bonnaroo
July 12-14th - Louisville, KY - Forecastle Festival
August 2-4th - Chicago, IL - Lollapalooza
September 27-29th - Atlanta, GA - TomorrowWorld
October 25-27th - Asheville, NC - Mountain Oasis
How many pairs of shoes do you own? How many of them are in active rotation in your wardrobe?
A pair of sanuks for the weekends, black skate puffy tony hawk skater shoes (because they are comfortable as hell), and a pair of dress shoes. Those are the only ones I own at the moment. I tend to destroy shoes quicker than most, maybe I should start mixing up the pairs so they last longer?
It's funny because I used to sleep in ALL THE TIME. No matter what time I'd go to bed, I could sleep until noon. Then one day a couple years ago my work schedule changed to 4AM-noon shifts... and ever since then I havent been able to sleep past 8 o clock. I often wake up at 5/6am every day of the week.
Which of these 3 traits is most important in your ideal mate: kind heart, sense of humor, intelligence?
That's tough, I want to pick all three! I would have to say intelligence.
Only because lately my stupidity tolerance has been very low. I want someone I could converse with that would be able to provide intellectually stimulating conversation, as well as good common sense guidance. Kindness and laughter would come naturally with an intelligent person, because they would be smart enough to realize the importance of them.
Hardly. And I never notice until it's too late and lips are like super chapped. This is not true at festivals however, where I err on the side of over hydration.
Wow. Ummmmmm, I really can't remember. Haven't been to a park or playground in ages. It was probably around three years ago my nephews were in town and I think I remember us walking over to the school to play.
Do you bring your lunch to work? If so, do you have a lunch box?
Usually I go "out to lunch with the boys" (which consists of eating lunch with this old timer that reminds me of my grandpa at whatever crummy fastfood place he wants to go to.)
I am going to marvel at technology's simplest yet most revolutionary innovations: a can opener. Think the societal impact if all canned food was removed from market!
Do you have a smart phone? If so, how attached to it are you?
I do own an iPhone, and I wouldn't use the word attached. With most people it has gotten to the point where they are ENSLAVED by their smartphones. I often switch to Airplane mode at concerts or turn it off completely when I'm doing something.
Also, I have to comment on what it has done to our society. People expect things faster because you have a phone. Suddenly we are now "on call" at all hours of the day and it reflects poorly on someone if they don't answer all the time or don't text back.
I wish having a phone didn't come with so much social responsibilty. Sometimes I want to be left alone lol.
I don't! I was just being the typical lag that I usually am. Also I was embarrased that I had little recollection of an in-person conversation that we had.
How can you reassure the skeptics that your garden is fresh?
I actually don't know if I can!
I need to put this disclaimer out there: I got my username from an old job I had. Corn was a big part of my life, and the name seemed to fit at the time I was signing up for my first message board.
What is the worst show you've been to? How about the worst play?
I am going to tell you all the story of the 2010 Sunset Strip Street Festival (aka the day I wasted fifty dollars and stood in the hot sun with stupid hipsters all day)
The day started off with Big B. He is just a giant white angry red-head that collaborated with the dude from Unwritten Law. It was garbage.
Then came Neon Trees. *ahem* Barf. I had not heard anything about them nor heard any songs before this show. Neverrr again.
Then came a local west hollywood favorite: Semi Precious Weapons. Ummmmmmm, no.
Pre headliner was a 45 minute set from Billy Corgan and friends (can you believe they had the nerve to bill themselves as Smashing Pumpkins?!)
And finally the headliner was Slash feat Miles Kennedy and Fergie. Fergie sang barracuda, that was the only cool part. She's hot for an old chick. Slash was really the only slightly enjoyable part the entire day.
Best of both worlds-- Boxer briefs! Why so curious.
Why not? Your adoring public demands answers to life's tough questions!!
And now for more...
What is the strangest thing you've ever found at Bonnaroo? The first CD you ever purchased? Who was the first Inforooster you met? What was the last book you read? What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
What is the strangest thing you've ever found at Bonnaroo?
The first thing that came to mind was a pair of panties on the ground in Pod 1 on Thursday morning. I remember looking down and thinking "damn Bonnaroo the party starts early in Pod 1!"
The First CD's I ever bought were through that mail order columbia thing when I was like in the 5th grade. Sublime self titled, The Offspring Americana, Chumbawumba Tubthumping, and No Doubt Tragic Kingdom.
Believe it or not-- YOU, Julie! At Matt's Tree 2011. I showed up at the tree for the parade into brunch, and I saw your name tag so I came up and introduced myself. Seconds later Katbur blessed me with a Kazoo and well... you guys just hooked me.
Chuck Palahniuk "Choke". I remember seeing a trailer for the movie, and I had been holding onto the book for a long time. So I decided to finally read it. I have no patience so I seldom read novels of the sort. I can never finish them!
What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Currently that would have to be playing vinyl records and learning as much about vinyl as possible on the interwebz. Just recently got into it and now I kinda forgot about everything else I used to do for fun.

Aw, really!? I had no idea! That was your Roll Like a Rockstar Year, you gave me the bottle of Patron. You are such a sweetheart and an all-around great person; I'm glad you've stuck around Inforoo
More questions....
Who is the one inforooster you'd most like to meet? What do you like best about your job? When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? Do you have any siblings? What is your best vinyl "score" thus far?
. But to answer your question: mexican stlye chicken asada would be my choice!
