WITH JIMMY ROBBINS
Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SONG YOU'VE WRITTEN?
I'd probably say it's a song called "Surgery." it would be my favorite because of the story behind it. I wrote it about my dad when he was diagnosed with cancer, so it's a story that always kind of gets to me and I think that's a big part of a good song.
Q: WHO'S THE MOST MEMORABLE FAN YOU'VE MET?
I met a girl on the last tour I did with The Scene Aesthetic, and she had actually made cute shirts for her friends that had my face on them, which is far from the normal thing for me. But I thought it was awesome so we ended up letting her hang out and get food with us and stuff.
Q: WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST?
Q: WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST?
I'm a huge Tom Petty fan just because I was raised around him. He's probably one of the best song writers of the past 40 years.
Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE?
In all honesty I've watched almost every movie that has ever come out and there are few that I haven't enjoyed. So I'll just pick "all movies"
Q: WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU CAN'T TOLERATE?
I'm not a fan of super loud cell phone talking. I feel like it makes everyone very uncomfortable
and people shouldn't do it.
Q: IF YOU COULD BECOME INVISIBLE, WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO?
I guess people watch. Nothing creepy or sketchy, I just really like to watch people and the way that they act. So it'd be interesting to watch them when they don't know you're there.

THIS WEEKEND
DIRTY PUPPETS
Even puppets have problems with fidelity, racism, intimacy and sexuality. Bear witness to the citizens of Avenue Q. Among other characters, you'll meet such puppets as the closedet investment banker, Rod; Treckie Monster who is a habitual masturbator; and Gary Coleman, the child star turned apartment superintendent.
The Broadway tour hit Kansas City, Mo. Wednesday and is sticking around through Sunday Nov. 11. The seven-person cast will stick its hands in the asses of several characters to tell you the story of finding who you are—and how it's not as easy other munts she
you watched in your childhood made it seem.
You can catch Avenue Q at the Music Hall in Kansas City, Mo. Tickets are on sale online and over the phone, but they're going fast, so snatch one soon and heckle an irreverent puppet.
