1. Introduce yourself.

FOB: I'm Pete; I like vampires and zombies. I like moshing. I hate cuts. I like scabs. i like tea. I like dvds. I hate drama. This answer sucks.

2. While on tour, do you get to see a lot of the main attractions of that certain state or just the highway and roads leading up to the club? (i.e. do you have time to go sightseeing)

FOB: Sometimes; tt really depends on the tour and the travel schedule...

3. Have you suffered any culture shock during tours (not just international)?

FOB: Sometimes i think the south in the U.S. is gonna be scary but then the people there are so nice. Japan was a huge change for us. Thank God the people were so understanding...

4. Is there ever a certain point on tour when you feel that you want to go home? If so, how do you get over that?

FOB: Absolutely- the first week is amazing, the second week is homesick- then its smooth sailing from there. You get used to being dirty and tired. Then, when youre home you just want to leave. hit it or quit it- life on the run gets okay...

5. Can popularity ever get overwhelming?

FOB: I guess. I wouldnt know too much. We still aren't the cool kids at school. The geek table has better stories to tell anyway.

6. What part does Fueled by Ramen have in the releasing of your Island debut?

FOB: They helped make us what we are, whatever that is. They made this monster and unleashed it... haha I dunno, not really, but I still talk to John from Fueled by Ramen everyday- They are the best independent label around, in my opinion.

7. How does it work having two labels working on the same album?

FOB: Ah, it doesnt usually work like that; like one label usually does all the day to day and another helps out financially or whatever. I guess sometimes two labels work the same record but that is confusing-in this case we are on Island but Fueled by Ramen will always be helping and doing stuff and we will always be working with them on certain things. They run our web store now.

8. What is your favorite Simpson's episode? Quote?

FOB: I liked it when Ashlee Simpson and John Feldman were hanging out- I like her song "Feels like I can finally rest my head on something real" or whatever.

9. Are there any television shows that you would like to see released on DVD that haven't yet?

FOB: Ah, i just got ALF, id love to see He-Man get released; Thundercats Air Wolf.

10. Name one album, besides your own, that you think all kids should own.

FOB: "Thriller" Micheal Jackson- its when he was still into chicks so dont worry, its cool.

11. About how much money do you spend on music a year (or how many CDs you buy a year)?

FOB: Who buys cds anymore, haha. Just kidding; I dunno. I just bought the new Converge and have been practicing stage dives onto the couch in my room.

13. Do the Cubs have a good chance at making the Wild Card? Do you think they could go far in the playoffs?

FOB: We like the Cubs, but i dont know too much about sports honestly unless its something effeminate like soccer or pingpong.

14. The Dropkick Murphys just released an EP called "Tessie," in hopes of breaking the curse and trying to help the Red Sox win their first World Series since 1918. Do you think a bunch of Chicago bands should do the same for the Cubs?

FOB: I dont think even that would help. (Damn him and his probably being right)

15. Did the "press conference" style interviews at the Warped Tour seem weird to you, or was it something you got used to?

FOB: Operation "Had to Do What We Had to Do" was in full effect. Really, i cant say anything about warped was weird other than getting up at 7am everyday.

16. Are you going to vote in this upcoming election?

FOB: Yeah, it doesnt matter too much because my state is not up for grabs though.

17. Final Comments...

I apologize for doing this one on an hour of sleep. Go watch all the Indiana Jones movies in a row and this may make more sense.
