How long have you been growing your hair?	Since 8th grade. Have you ever cut it off? Yes, once. It looked terrible.
Have you ever met any of your musical heroes?	No, but when I was in college (the first time) studying music business, I e-mailed Robert Fripp of King Crimson to ask if he would do an interview with me for a project. He actually responded, and even though it was to politely decline, it was still awesome that he responded at all.
Cool experience:	Standing atop a pyramid in the ruins of the Mayan city of Coba on December 21, 2012, the day some said the Mayan calendar predicted the world would end. I can assure you from firsthand knowledge and experience that it did not.
