Do-Hyun: Yesterday we went to Cribs. Only he! *Points at Scott*
Scott: Yeah, only I got in.
Do-Hyun: Only he got in!
Scott: Yeah, I didn’t care about anyone else.
Do-Hyun: We and our staff had been waiting outside for a long time, oh my god, getting cold.
Scott: I’m happy about it.
Do-Hyun: And YB like The Hives too.
Scott: Yeah, yeah. A whole bunch of that stuff. You know there’s always going to be a classic rock band. You know I like punk, UK Punk. And that kind of stuff, new wave.

I’d like to thank Scott and Do-Hyun for making time to speak with us, it really meant a lot to be able to meet them and have a chance to pick their brains.
