Once. In Kansas City, Missouri. Flew there from Vancouver just to see them. Probably the best gig i've ever been to. The thrills were supporting which was awesome too.

What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10?
I don't really have any memories associated with them at all, good or bad.

Probably "Maybe it's trite but I can always be wrong" from "Ender Will Save Us All"

Stewart played "The King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. 1" in the car when he first picked me up at the airport in Vancouver.
What was the first song you heard by 1?
"John Dean", which is why i had trouble getting into them at first. But now i'm totally hooked.

Soo hard - one of "Here Comes Your Man", "Wave of Mutilation", "Where is my Mind?" and "U-Mass"
How many times have you seen 9 live?
Never. I'd just heard of them when they played at Richards on Richards in Vancouver, right by my house. I should have gone, but worked instead.

Moving to vancouver for the second time.

What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?
"But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you, You're too wonderful to die" from "Song Against Sex"

Your favorite Pixies songs are the exact same as mine. I don't know anyone else who loves U-Mass, but I totally think it's one of their best.
Meanwhile this meme was entirely too complicated, I could barely figure out how to line up all the answers and questions. Guh.
"Wave of Mutilation" is a great song, I first heard it in that 80's Christian Slater movie, Pump up the Volume.
This definitely looks like a complicated q&a.
