As you know, we are big music lovers here at MBP. Tell us, what is the first concert you attended? My first actual gig was Suzanne Vega in the mid-80s, though I’m quite certain my parents took me to see Pink Floyd when I was tiny. I may be imagining that.
What is something that might surprise us about you? I have no sense of smell or taste.
Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why? New York. I’ve been a few times over the last few years, and was married there. It seems such a cliche of a City — everything is as it is in the movies yet that’s what makes it, for a cinephile like me, utterly spellbinding. I’d choose Brooklyn over Manhattan — it’s warm and friendly and homely and everything you’d imagine Manhattan not being. They compliment each other perfectly making New York more than a cliche.
Three words to describe MBP? Warm. Creative. Engaging.
