Show you're most excited to see this semester: Pony Boy
Favorite live show Bloomington experience:
I've been to a lot of shows. Every show usually has something special about it, but in the most recently I can say that the first time Monotonix played here in town (last winter at Fester's) was pretty incredible. There was so much energy and fearlessness... it was very refreshing.
Favorite thing about fall: Everything. I love the fall.
Favorite pizza in town: Mother Bear's. The deep dish Treasure of Monte Cristo is brutally delicious.
Sesame street character you can relate to the most: Grover. Because he is blue and skinny.
Celebrity crush: Pam Beasly. And Grover.
