1. A/S/L?

22 / male / all alone in my room, listening to T Rex, sipping Carl and Michael’s homemade beer, tired from playing some b-ball earlier, paid some bills, I’m an old man, ET CETERA

2. What Instrument(s) are you responsible for in Shapiro?

Well, I play the drums. But I wouldn’t say I’m responsible for anything. After all, to be responsible would be to start a normal career, wouldn’t it?

3. If you could take a paid trip to anywhere, where would it be/what would you do there?

I’d go back to Europe in a heartbeat. Spend more time in Germany. Spain most definitely. Amsterdam. Let someone else try to find the Red Light District at midnight with a teeny map.

4. Do you like candy, and if so, do you like it enough to accept it from a stranger?

I do like candy. All kinds. As for the stranger, that depends. Is the stranger someone I know? (And I do know some strangers.)

5. Books or Movies? Any preference?

Having an English degree, I would have to say books by default. Just finished Miller’s Tropic of Cancer. Muy bueno.

6. Where do you see yourself in the next ten minutes?

Probably working on question 12.

7. There’s a smell wafting through the air, it’s your favorite scent. What is it?

Autumn. Leaves, wind, chilly sunshine, et cetera.

8. Will robots play a big part in the future of Shapiro?

Not if I have anything to do with it. Well, I take it back. They can mow the yard while we’re on the road.

9. What band/genre of music do you feel you personally associate the most with?

That’s a difficult question. I try to listen to lots of different music. And I associate with certain types of music at different times in my life. Pervasively, probably the Beatles. Radiohead, definitely. Lately, a lot of Bob Dylan. Of Montreal. Grizzly Bear. Antonin Dvorak. Bowie. There are too many to mention, really.

10. Only one restaurant exists in the entire universe. What is it?

Chuck E. Cheese’s. If there’s only one restaurant, I need some entertainment with my food.

11. If you could listen to music on any type of medium, which would it be and why?

I would listen to music through Daft Punk’s LED pyramid. Do I really need to explain why?

12. You’re at a dock along the shore of the Chesapeake Bay, a cruise ship from the future appears in front of you carrying future people who are partying hard. What are they wearing, what are they drinking, what are they jamming out to, and would you join them?

They’re probably wearing caveman apparel. Styles always come back around. They are drinking neon pink “Suicide Juice,” a futuristic drink that actually kills you but it makes you feel so awesome beforehand that you don’t care. They are jamming out to music telepathically, so I have no idea what it is. And I would join them if I could, but I can’t get to them, because that would mean I would have to swim in the Chesapeake Bay. I used to swim there when I was a kid but I got stung by a lot of jellyfish. I really don’t want to get back in that water.

Also, I was right about question 6.

13. If you were a wild west outlaw of old, about to be hung by the neck until dead, what would be your final words?

What a depressing last question. What could I say? Carpe diem. Fall madly in love every day. Everything that lives is holy. Go see the Flaming Lips in concert.
