Ok, Now i have a few more questions for you...

1. You want to watch a movie, but you have to pick one that you already own...ok, how about top 3. What are we watching?
Ok i dont own that many movies, but it would probably be Tommy Boy, The Hangover, or the Dark Knight (Batman Begins is also acceptable) But i do have a 3 year old son, so more realistically, it is Cars, Up, or one of hundreds of Thomas the Train DVD's.

2. Obviously, you like playing in a band. What else floats your boat?
Working on projects around my house (im pretty handy) Hanging out with my family (Kari and Drew) Getting e13 more shows!

3. What is your all time favorite concert you have ever been to?
I would have to say it is a tie between any Breaking Benjamin show, Foo Fighters at the Harley 105th, and any Sevendust Show.

4. Besides pooping your pants in grade school (or as an adult, Mike) what is your most embarrasing moment?
When i was in middle school,I got heat stroke from a track meet I ran before our orchestra concert that night. So sitting 2nd Chair, 2nd Violin (in the front) the entire gym was able to see me keel over and hurl the McDonalds i shoved in my face moments earlier all over the place mid song in the middle of the concert...it was pretty rock star.

5. If I grabbed your iPod, Discman, Walkman, Boom Box, etc. from you right now, what would it be playing?
Probably any number of songs i am learning to add to our setlist. but otherwise i am totally diggin songs that Mike heard 3 months ago. Me: " Hey Mike did you hear that..." Mike: " Yes Nick, I told you about that song 3 months ago" Me: "damn it."

6. What in the world got you into playing music?
Very cool parents that allowed me to develop my drumming skills despite loud practicing every night for hours on end.

7. What is one thing that everyone should know about you?
That i would NEVER get angry at you if you bought me a new drumset.
