What I do (in 140 characters): I host Pub Quiz, which requires me to read into a microphone and make people think about stuff. I’m like an alcoholic version of an NPR host.
What’s your addiction? Coffee. I want all the coffee!
What’s your game? Any of the general nerd games: Civ5, Settlers of Cattan, D&D and such.
What’s your drink? I love a good malty brown ale. Barring that, a stiff vodka tonic.
Where’s dinner? Burgers at the Green Room. That’s what’s up.
What’s on your KC postcard? Streetfighter doing push-ups outside Buzzard Beach.
Finish this sentence: “Kansas City got it right when … ” It established the Power & Light. I don’t think I have seen an Affliction T-shirt in Westport since.
“Kansas City screwed up when … “ We let Katie Horner slip away. Now I have no idea when to panic about the weather.
“Kansas City needs … “ A downtown/midtown comedy venue.
“I always laugh at … “ Juggalos.
“I’ve been known to binge-watch … “ I don’t watch enough TV to binge-watch anything.
“I can’t stop listening to … ” The Pixies. After 25 years, you would think it would get old. Turns out, nope.

The best advice I ever got: Lefty loosey, righty tighty.
My sidekick? I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel.
My dating triumph/tragedy? Any date I get should be considered a triumph. #triumph
My brush with fame: Hanging with (read: mesmerized by) Paul F. Tompkins after KC Improv Festival last year. He and Superego are returning this year. I can’t wait!
My recent triumph: Being named Quizmaster of the Geek Bowl in Austin. It’s a major award.
Take the Arrested Development quiz at 3 p.m. Saturday, July 20, at Charlie Hooper’s (12 West 63rd Street).
