How\u2019d you get here?<\/span>
<\/span>
Mackenzie<\/span>: The Northridge Earthquake, which hit just before my before my scheduled due-date, urged my mother to go to her home town to have her lil\u2019 baby.  Therefore, I was born in St. Louis Missouri rather than Los Angeles, my real hometown, but permanently moved back to the west coast shortly after my birth. Now, many years later, I go to school in Vermont, which enabled me to intern at Microcosm.  I drove up the 5 from Los Angeles all the way to Portland with my good ol\u2019 friend Phil.<\/span>
<\/span>
Elizabeth<\/span>: Born in Texas, raised in Tennessee, schooled in Vermont – a drive to Albany, a flight to Cleveland, a drive to Knoxville, a flight to Denver, another to Seattle, another to Portland and here I am.<\/span>
<\/span>
Phil<\/span>: I\u2019ve been an LA boy my whole life, but now I go to school in Vermont.  Mackenzie and I drove up to Portland with full hearts and a full car.   <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>
Favorite Female Vocalist And Why?<\/span>:<\/span>
<\/span>
Mackenzie<\/span>: Aaliyah, hands down, because she is a powerful independent woman who was tragically taken from this earth in her prime. Classics like Rock the Boat are always bumpin\u2019 in my mind when I\u2019m having a rough day or when I left too many receipts in my pockets in the wash.  She was a sweet angel.<\/span>
<\/span>
Elizabeth<\/span>: The Crutchfield sisters. They\u2019re raw, they\u2019re relatable, they\u2019re pretty.<\/span>
<\/span>
Phil<\/span>: Julie Doiron because she makes me want to fall in love and move to Canada just to stay inside with a fire and tea while the snow falls outside.  <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>
Early 2000s guilty pleasure:<\/span> <\/span>
<\/span>
Mackenzie<\/span>: Blink-182 but I refuse to have any guilt over that.  <\/span>
<\/span>
Elizabeth<\/span>: It\u2019s 1999, but \u201cNo Scrubs\u201d was a semi-serious tattoo consideration last year…<\/span>
<\/span>
Phil<\/span>: Linkin Park <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>
Who would you be if you were a cartoon character?:<\/span>
<\/span>
Mackenzie: I would be Ein from Cowboy Bebop.  He\u2019s just absolutely adorable, and that episode about him being found by Spike and Jet is a really good one.  It made me laugh because they talk about VHS and VHS beta and how its absolutely ancient and out-dated.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Elizabeth: <\/span>In fifth grade when <\/span>Dave the Barbarian <\/span>was popular, a girl used to call me Fang. Maybe the uninhibited version of me.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Phil:  <\/span>I would love to be a little Kodama from Princess Mononoke and just frolic around the forest all day.  <\/span>
<\/span> <\/span> <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>
Things that you enjoy:<\/span>
<\/span>
Mackenzie<\/span>:  I really like putting Abba Zabbas and sticks of Now and Later candies in my pockets and skateboarding around town for a little while so they get warm and aren\u2019t so hard to chew.  I also really like adult swim late at night. Phil also makes a mean cup of tea n\u2019 chia. I enjoy these greatly. <\/span>
<\/span>
Elizabeth<\/span>: Loretta Lynn, carbohydrates, gender theory.<\/span>
<\/span>
Phil: <\/span>I like licorice induced asphyxiation, I like real life skittle rain pounding against my soft naked flesh, and bellyflops off of chocolate docks into the rocky road abyss below.<\/span><\/p>\n
