(Lucky us.)  <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now just the usual five question assault:<\/strong> <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. If your band were a city, which would it be?<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Picture-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"tokyoneighborhood\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Picture-1-300x285.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"215\" \/><\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nTokyo, Japan, specifically <a href=\"http:\/\/metropolis.co.jp\/features\/feature\/down-by-the-river\/\">the  Monzen-Nakacho neighborhood<\/a>. I lived there a couple years ago, in a  tiny apartment where I slept in a twin bed with my roommate because  there was literally not enough space to sleep on the floor. The Cassis  Orange songs always end up having to do something with my time there,  directly or indirectly.  And the band name is a popular mixed drink in  Japan.  <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. When was the moment you first thought music was something you  might like to try?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn high school I was really obsessed with 1970s punk. I had a photograph  of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wMD7Ezp3gWc\">Ramones<\/a> going  to a show at <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CBGB\">CBGB<\/a>&#8211;they were on the  subway, carrying their crappy instruments in a bunch of gross-looking  shopping bags because they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any money for cases. I remember  thinking, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Awesome! They are the best band ever, and totally broke!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And  I was totally broke too, so that made me think I could also have a band  or do music without always finding some dumb excuse not to.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Picture-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Picture 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Picture-2-164x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"221\" \/><\/a><\/strong><strong>3. Describe your typical  Saturday morning routine.<\/strong><br \/>\nMy typical Saturday morning routine involves sleeping late enough to  ensure I never develop a Saturday morning routine.  <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Who\/what might be a few inspirations or influences that might  really surprise people?<\/strong><br \/>\nI really like the music they play at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crackerbarrel.com\/\">Cracker Barrel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. What did you dream of being when you were a kid? (How \u00e2\u20ac\u2122d that turn  out?)<\/strong><br \/>\nIn elementary school I wanted to be an archaeologist. I rekindled the  idea in college, and did do archaeology work for a while after I  graduated. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really arduous physical work though, and I am basically a  weakling, so after digging test pits in a cotton field in Virginia in a  100\u00c2\u00b0 August, I decided I would be ok with moving to a more indoors-y  job. And now I really like teaching, so I think it all turned out well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<br \/>\nSwing back by next week for the newest installment of gimme five and be  sure to mosey over to The Pinhook on April 8th to hear Cassis Orange  live.
