Short Bret Q & A from May '08

My first post here after lurking for awhile so I wanted to bring a little treat - I don't think I've seen this posted but please forgive me if I'm wrong. It's brief but hilarious!

Q&A

Bret McKenzie, Flight of the Conchords

What essentials do you pack for a festival?

An apple. A flare gun in case I get lost in the crowd. A can of silver paint so I can paint my body and be one of those human statues if I ever get bored.

How do you entertain yourself in the campsite?

I pass the time perfecting my dance moves;
mostly the running man. I still can't quite do it and I've been trying for almost twenty years now.

How do you resist the temptation of drugs and drink?

I like to drink but I don't touch the jazz cigarettes.

Who copes the best at festivals, you or Jemaine?

Jemaine is slightly more stoic. I always end up nude in the chill-out zone massaging an old hippy lady's feet.

Any tips for attracting the girls?

Join a band. If you're not in one, start one at the festival.

What's the best way to survive the rain and mud?

Pretend you're a hippopotamus.

· Flight of the Conchords play SubPop 20. The album Flight of the Conchords is out now

I am so in love. So 'ucking in love.

He could not possibly be more endearing, could he? ♥

He has a GREAT sense of humor. I want to hang out with him at festivals " title="" border="0"/> " title="" border="0"/> " title="" border="0"/>

Thanks for posting this drunkagain, and I am glad you have finally de-lurked!!!

Apple, flare gun, silver paint. Wow. Good tips!

Jemaine being stoic doesn't surprise me. I can't imagine him busting out into a funky dance at a festival.

Thanks for posting this - a great and very funny read!

Also, welcome to the board!

Hope you make lots of posts and soon feel at home here. I have certainly found that delurking is the best thing I ever did!
