Title: Director
- Where is your favorite ‘hood hangout?
- The neighborhood mainstay for dinner is Via Carducci. Hang out spots, it would be The Fifty/50 (best wings in the city), Inn Joy (80′s music) and most recently, The Bedford (good drinks and atmosphere).

- Booze. Period.
- Whats the best men’s fashion advice you were ever given? Whats the worst?

- Whats the best men’s fashion advice you were ever given? Whats the worst?
- Best: Always overdress for the situation. When in doubt its far better to be the best dressed person in the room than the worst.

- Rocking out and getting soaked in the pouring rain at Lolla
- Can you describe your worst haircut?
- The time I cut my own hair and didn’t realize the guard came off, resulting in a big bald spot on the back of my head. It was not a pretty sight.
- Favorite quote/saying/cuss word?
- Quote: “And we will be ready, at the end of every day will be ready, will not say no to anything, will try to stay awake while everyone is sleeping, will not sleep, will make the shoes with the elves, will breathe deeply all the time, breathe in all the air full of glass and nails and blood, will breathe it and drink it, so rich, so when it comes we will not be angry, will be content, tired enough to go, gratefully, will shake hands with everyone, bye, bye, and then pack a bag, some snacks, and go to the volcano.” – Tattooed on side.

Title: Radio/TV host, blogger, photographer, dj, goof
Website: Tim Pogo
- Where is your favorite ‘hood hangout?
- My favorite hangout period is Delilah’s, but in terms of this ‘hood it would have to be Gold Star.
- Beer or Booze?
- I enjoy both in equal measures.
- Whats the best men’s fashion advice you were ever given? Whats the worst?
- The best would be to keep things simple and streamlined. The worst would be that it was cool to pinch and roll up the cuffs of your pants. But then again I was also 16 and stupid
- Where were you last night?
- At Laguardia then O’hare, and straight to my couch after picking up tacos at Arturo’s.
- Have you ever been kicked out of anything (school/bar/little league/your brother’s wedding)? Why?
- A Violent Femmes/B-52s concert long ago for crowd surfing over the barrier. (Really?? Crowd surfing during the goddamn B-52s??) Also plenty of hockey games for trying to take on guys much bigger than I (I usually lost).
- Favorite quote/saying/cuss word?
- For fuck’s sake
- Better decade – 80s or 90s?
- Each one was equally great to me in its own way. For music it’s almost a toss-up. For my dumb hair styles, I was probably looking better in the 80s.
- Last live music you saw?
- U2, Mazes, Blonde Redhead. I was out of town for Pitchfork, and I don’t really mind.
- Fav means of transportation?
