The Pete Jelliffe Interview

It's my pleasure to present to you the first in a pointless series of This Is What We Do Now dot com's Interviews With My Friends. Today's interviewee is Pete Jelliffe, a chap I have known since our Peter Stuyvesant Little League days. Check out Pete's blog over at Petroleum Jelliffe. We went to junior high and high school together, separated at college, but apparently we still like each other enough to be roommates now. Surely no good can come of that.

1) Age, occupation, where are you from, where do you live now?

23, resident expert, downtown, uptown.

2) Why should anyone read your blog?

I compile information that is absolutely necessary for a well-rounded view of the world, and that no one else would think important enough to gather. There's also a daily raffle.

3) What was it like working on Pop Culture Mag?

Ba da ba ba baaa, I loved it. Check out the rants, they're still all there.

4) Who's your most favorite person in the world?
Batman. Ok, fine, Bruce Wayne. All right, Adam West. Happy?

5) What's your favorite bar?

Musical Box will forever hold a special place in my heart, despite their unisex bathrooms.

6) Who's worse at Beirut, Skip or Girl Skip?

Can't say I've seen girl skip ever play Beirut. But since Scott is "the worst kid at Beirut ever," that dubious honor rests solely on his shoulders. I'm gonna go with Skip.

7) What's the drunkest thing you've ever done?

Dancing. At a bar. Without grinding a girl.

8) What's the drunkest thing you've ever seen me do?

Definitely the time you returned from a mellow Pernice Brothers concert, absolutely ragingly, belligerently drunk, and started scaring East Village hipsters by shouting at an ESPN recap of a Yankees-Red Sox game. I believe you even made one cry by insulting his choice in trucker hats (this happened a while ago when those were still cool). Then you went up to a friend of mine and called her boyfriend a "(expletive deleted)" for being a Sox fan. I chose this incident because I've never witnessed you peeing in your dresser, even though I'm fairly certain it happens on a thrice weekly basis.

9) What do you hate more, tuna or air conditioning?

I hate tuna with a passion that burns so bright, it disrupts traffic. It's like a shining beacon of pain and misery. AC is fine if its hot out.

10) True or false - 65 means durk?

Apparently, there was a big story in the news today folks, and as it turns out, 65 does, in fact, mean durk.

11) Any last requests?

Hat, turn down the damn emo already.
