P-How does it feel to have people come out and support your band?
J18-It feels all bubbly inside at first, then the bubbliness turns into a sort of fizziness, then a second later a sharp pain coarses through your stomach and your head spins and you get dizzy, soon after you are relieved that people like your band, it's a strange thing but you get used to it.

P-What are some of your fondest memories from playing shows, or practicing?
J18-Well, once at practice we were in the middle of playing a song when right outside we heard a horrible crash and when we ran outside, a school bus had tipped over and the kids were trapped inside. When we saw this we were so overcome with emotion and adrenaline we picked up the school bus and saved the children.
P-What can we expect from you guys in the years to come?
J18-A few more albums, drug problems, car accidents, a comeback album, weight gain, failed solo projects, ventures into acting/directing, all that behind the music stuff.
P-Any final words of wisdom or knowledge to share?
J18-I only know about 3 or 4 things in life, but one of them is that Junction 18 rocks the house.
