What was the first record you ever bought with your own money?​ 
Ace of Bass​ ​

How many unread emails or texts currently fill your inbox?​
666 unread emails. Not kidding. Should I be worried? Wait, where am I? ​

If your life were a movie, which songs would be on the soundtrack?​
Hmmm … That would a be a very long soundtrack. I guess most of it would be me singing nonsense really loud in the car. (Also, the album Nebraska by Springsteen and all of Wildflowers by Petty.) ​

 

Whoa! @brooklynbowl might be the coolest venue ever… Hitting at 8 w/ @wildadriatic and @sistersparrowdb Woot!

What brand of jeans do you wear?​
Salvation Army ​​

What's your go-to karaoke tune?​
I only sing karaoke in Albuquerque (this is true) which means I've only done karaoke twice. That being said, I'd definitely do "Heart of Glass" again. ​

If you were a liquor, what would you be?​
Ooh, tough one! I'd like to say moonshine, but if I'm honest with myself, it's probably something not as strong — like schnapps or maybe bottom-shelf bourbon. ​

Poehler or Schumer?​
Radner

Chocolate or vanilla?​
Mint Chip​

Blues or bluegrass?​
Swampyankee
