When did you start playing/singing?
Freshman year of college...my roommate taught me the chords to 'Radio Free Europe', and I thought I was the bomb. - It IS the bomb! - Rachel

What was the first concert you saw?
The first one that I remember was KISS at Pekin MemorialStadium in '75 or '76...Definitely not the best show for a 5 year oldto see...They scared the crap out of me.

What was your favorite concert?
Toughie...can't narrow it down to one...Here are three that come to mind:

• Oasis/Velvet Crush at The Vic in Chicago
• Jason Mraz/Liz Phair at The Pageant in St. Louis
• any of the Better Than Ezra shows I have been to

Mary Ann or Ginger?(Or Professor or Mr. Howell if you swing thatway!)
I'll have to pass...they both must be like 70 by now.
"Eric, would you like me to seduce you?"
"Umm...nope, I'm all set."

Crunchy or creamy?
Creamy, no question.

Drink of choice?
Jagerbomb...there's nothing quite like that ice cold, stupid energy.'Fire in the hole!!!'
