1. What's a service or event the FSU does that no one knows about?
"One thing some students know about, but there could always be attention for, is New Music Nights every Friday night at Out Back Shack. Some of the acts we've had in this year include The Balconies, Mother Mother, Keys N Krates, The Junction, Bruce Peninsula, The Wooden Sky, Yukon Blonde, Michou, Grand Analog, and more. For those of you down with "the scene," all of these bands kill at Call the Office and The Horseshoe in Toronto. The Difference at Fanshawe is there is usually NO COVER!"

2. What's your perfect day like?
"My perfect day: Sleep until the crack of noon, "nooner" with Marianne, dog park with Bowie and Rudy, back at home to play some guitar, write a song, eat lots, head out to play or watch a show, drink and dance, and forget the rest of the night."

3. If you could switch places with anyone in the world, who would it be and why?
"I'd switch places with Noam Chomsky and think back to the '60s civil rights movement and gain some perspective on today's vibrant counterculture. For real. I'd do that because Chomsky is the man. Read/watch/listen to Noam Chomsky because Chomsky is going to blow your mind!"

4. What's your best memory at Fanshawe so far?
"Thinking back to my student days in MIA, and recording The Hoolie Snatch's first record in patchwork. Some private 2 a.m. or 5 a.m. sessions, scooping up the bums' sessions they didn't show up for, and the test-drive sessions with Joe and Don when the new Icon came in. You know, the good old days."

5. What's the last CD that you listened to?
"LCD Soundsystem This is Happening. Ridiculously good album."
