He tried moving to a small town in rural Iowa to help speed his discovery by a top agent, because that was a way cooler backstory, but that hampered his ability to brag of hanging with Jones and Miller at a loft party, since there were no loft parties or even lofts, so he moved to New York and just counted on being able to <em>say<\/em> that he was discovered in Iowa. Unfortunately, he moved to Binghamton, believing this was near SoHo, and keeps trying to find the crosstown train. His favorite story, that actually bears a smidgen of truth, is about getting beat up when asking Sting (so he thought) for an autograph, which might have gone better if the woman hadn&#8217;t been having such a bad day. His primary hobby is giving the worst possible advice to schoolchildren, though he doesn&#8217;t know this yet. Itch lists the city he&#8217;d most like to live in as, &#8216;Eurasia,&#8217; and his favorite Crusher Run is 3\/4&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be back next week &#8211; just you try and stop us!
