I’ve attached some interview questions. There’s one towards the end about Jaimee Eat World and Death Bus for Blondie that’s kind of vague. Feel free to ignore it if it’s too broad or just opens one too many cans of worms. Also, send any photos or images you’d like me to include with the interview when you send your responses. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!
