James Huffman



City/Suburb?
City. I've always loved NY, it's one of my favorite places in the world...grew up outside of it but it was always within arms' reach.
Graffiti: Crime/Art?
Graffiti is both, that's what's great about it, it's an art and a crime.
Bronx/Brooklyn?
Brooklyn.
Passive/Aggressive?
(laughing) To my advantage and to my detriment, I am both.
John: Updike/Steinbeck?
(laughing) No idea.
Broadway/Off/Off-Off?
(Been on off-off) As an audience member, I would prefer to off or off-off.
Time/Time Out?
Time Out.
In/Outdoor Person?
Outdoor.
Subway/Cab?

Subway, I can get car sick in a cab, I love the subway.
Domestic/Import?
Domestic.
Non/conformist?
Non, by nature but at the same level would conform when I have to...
Dog/Cat?
If I had to choose? Dog. But, cats are cool
too!
Plastic/Cash?
Cash.
In/Extravert?
Umm, good days and bad days, it really all depends, I'm a little bit of both.
Payless/Gallo?
K-Swiss.
Library/store?
Book Store, there's so many and they have coffee...
Morning/NightOwl?
Night person.
Salt/fresh water?
Fresh.
Heels or Flats?
Heels.
Little Italy: Bronx/NYC?
NYC.
Dublin/London?
Never been to either but based on my knowledge, I would say London. It seems more
metropoliton.
Standard/Automatic?
Automatic, unless I'm in the country...
Gum/Tic-tac?
Gum, gets the brain going, loosens up the jaw muscles...
Driver/Passenger?
Driver.
Stones/Beatles?
Hmmm...hmmm...that's not an easy question, I'm gonna say, Rolling Stones.
Coffee/tea?
Tea! Big green tea fan. Everything should have a nutritional value, coffee just has nothing to offer.

Musician: Jonathan Fritz



City/Suburb? Neither and both.
Graffiti: Crime/Art? Both, I think both for now...it will be recognized as art, sort of the way hip hop became art...at one point people didn't appreciate it...
Bronx/Brooklyn? I don't prefer either.
Passive/Aggressive? Both.
John: Updike/Steinbeck? I don't know John Updike...
Broadway/Off/Off-Off? On Broadway.
Time/Time Out? Oh, neither.
In/Outdoor Person? Both.
Subway/Cab? Sorry? Oh, um (sips water), cab...but I'm fascinated by the subways, it's very underground, however; I prefer the privacy of a cab, it's more personal.
Domestic/Import? Import.
Non/conformist? (chewing) Um...I would say...I'm a formist.
Dog/Cat? Both.
Plastic/Cash? Plastic...but I love the history of cash! When I'm traveling, I love in every country it's like a little post card of who's important there. I'm always interested in things that don't drive wedges-that's why I play music...
In/Extrovert? Neovert: stage life- I am flamboyant and extrovert, sometimes I prefer to be quiet and listen...depends what I need and what I'm passionate of.
Payless/Gallo? Neither, I always buy great shoes but I never pay tremendous prices for them, as long as the shoe is good, I can usually find...I travel all over the world. I'm never in fashion so I can never be out of fashion.
Library/store? That's the hardest one and I don't know why. I love libraries, their structure and why they're built but with stores I can get the techno stuff, therefore I would choose what's right for my situation.
Morning/Night Owl? Night person. But I love the mornings for their possibilities, it's a new transition that I can't deny and I love that.
Salt/fresh water? Salt for the outside, fresh for the inside.
Heels or Flats? Heels look great but they hurt...but I think they're sexy, women also feel sexy in them. As a visual artist, it gives more leg and it has a certain kind of elegant connotation (I minored in photography in Plattsburg).
Little Italy: Bronx/NYC? I haven't been to the one in the Bronx, only the one in Manhattan...I'm sure if I hang out there it's cool I'd change my mind.
Dublin/London? I lived in London for a year. I would say I'd live in London for the week, Dublin for the weekends!
Standard/Automatic? Automatic for the convenience, standard for the performance.
Gum/Tic-tac? Tic tac for percussion and gum for nerves and energy sometimes.
Driver/Passenger? Totally depends on where we're going, I love them both.
Stones/Beatles? Ultimately, the Beatles but they both played an impact of my development but the Beatles are more timeless for me.
Coffee/tea? I don't know, I've never had coffee, I love the coffee bean smell though. I've only ever had tea, so tea.
