“guess who’s coming to dinner?” series

when a band has a new record coming out, they will inevitably be asked the same questions over and over. instead, with the “dinner” series they get to curate an imaginary party (fun!), giving them an opportunity to share their influences and personality (and plug their album) without having to answer “so what’s on your ipod?” – sigh – once again. series ran in the metro and elsewhere (like this one with Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls, who went, as you might expect, all out).
