What were you doing when scouted?

Waiting for the Wood Roses to go on at the Replay.

Favorite clothing store?

Most of my clothes are given to me by other people, or I come across them somehow. Like when I worked at an apartment complex and people would move out of their apartment and leave their clothes. There was like a 90-day waiting period, but half of the people would never come back and get their clothes. I was like, "shit yeah, I'll take 'em."

Other stores you frequent?

Richard's Music, Mass St. Music, Rudy's.

How would you describe your style?

It's a found style. I'm not wearing overalls because I think they're cool. My mom lives in Iowa, and she's married to a farmer-she was looking for overalls, and she found these at a garage sale and gave them to me.

Where do you get your haircut?

I haven't had it trimmed in a long time. Right now it has a style of its own.

Favorite coffee shop in Lawrence?

The HyVee deli on Sixth Street.

Favorite bar shop or bar in Lawrence?

The Replay.

Is there anything you'd like to see more of in Lawrence?

People being themselves. You see a lot of people floating around not really sure of who they are.

Less of in Lawrence?

Cars. I have one. I have to. I'm stuck in it. But maybe some day we could have less cars or travel in twos or something.

Who has style?

Jack Black. You know whatever he's wearing, it has to be himself, because he's so crazy.

Country or rock?

I would say rock.
