What I'm Listening to Nowadays: I listen to just about everything under the sun. To keep me pointed in the right direction, though, lately, Superjoint Ritual and Acid Bath.
Coolest Thing I've Done: Opening for and hanging out with the guys from Machine Head and Devil Driver. They had some good advice and were pretty cool people. A lot different than what I had heard. Also, being a father to my child.
Most Embarrassing Moment: I used to work at the Thornton's on Preston right by the Fairgrounds. Well, one night while I was straightening up the store, I ran across this little pager-looking thing with a little button on it. Inevitably, I pushed the button, but nothing happened. So, in disgust I walked outside, sat on the sidewalk and lit a cigarette. When I raised my head up the parking lot, I was surrounded by cops with guns drawn, yelling about `put your hands up' and all. Well, long story short, it was the silent alarm. Guess I should have paid more attention.
