Mandy! Excellent interview. Mandy is the best and you cannot even gauge how awesome she is by just reading her interview. She’s the only other person in my age bracket that has same love that I do for all things German, sausage, and pickled. Daniel is right, you need to move to Houston. You can even have my bed and I’ll take the couch.

As always I enjoy seeing Mandy’s awesome childhood pics. She’s so cute even though she kind of looks like the kid from Little Giants with the snot bubble:

Mandy, you haven’t been in my life long, but you definitely have made an impact. I enjoyed my brief tryst with Wurstfest so much more having you there. I appreciate your dedication to costuming (including the 40oz-er you were for the co-birthday party). Wryness, midwesternness, and friendship we share. Please move to Houston.

La Boheme wishes and bratwurst dreams,

Daniel

Man, I can’t believe I forgot to mention my gluttony! Thank you, Erin and Meredith, for picking up the slack. I really, really do love food, everyone. REALLY…

YAY MANDYKINS!!! Mandy and I knew we were Meant To Be the moment we met, when she instantly ridiculed me and I laughed hysterically. Mandy loves making fun of people, and I think it’s hilarious when someone hands me a particularly effective face hard. An unbeatable combo! We are destined to see each other at least twice a month for the rest of our lives because, as we’ve noted in the past, we are ludicrously codependent. “Mandy! It’s been 3 weeks! I MISS YOU!” “Meredith! You’re moving? Can I come with?”

This interview quite perfectly captures that unique mandyesque quality you possess. Although, WHERE are the pictures of Rupert as a bumblebee? Or Santa Claus? Or a hipster? I want a picture of you two wearing your matching green izod shirts.

Also, once Mandy had the great idea of getting a 50-piece pack of chicken McNuggets that she, Matt and I could all share. I ate 4, Matt ate 6, and Mandy ate 40. That girl can put. it. away. It’s quite fetching.

Finally, my finest karaoke moment was our stellar duet of “Fancy” at the CCC. I think I peaked at that moment.

Mandy, my dad cut my bangs too so you have my complete sympathy.

Another Minnesotan! That was a great interview. (I know I live in Colorado now, but I’ll always be a Minnesotan) AND a former Minnesotan who’s into film production. Hopefully once we move to Austin we’ll get a chance to meet. Have you read Walter Murch’s books on cutting film? He’s a really great read if you haven’t.

I don’t know if I’ve ever officially played snowfist but I liked to toss boiling water up into the air during that week in January or February where everything would drop to 20 or 30 below zero. I totally remember hitting the neighbors flooded back yard skating rink. Goodbye snow, I can’t wait to leave you behind in Colorado.

Were you camping at John’s house?

This was the most pantsiest interview yet! Mandy is an excellent friend to have, because she’ll make you laugh till you cry, let you dress up her dog, tell you when you’re making dumb choices in life and then sit down and debate the merits of season 4 against season 6 of Buffy with you.

The only thing that I wish this interview had covered was Mandy’s invention of Big Sandwich. Big Sandwich was a staple in mine and Mandy’s college career – we’d go to the HEB, buy a loaf of freshly baked french bread, a pound of meat, a pound of cheese, a jar of pickles (um, each) and usually an entire pie and then go home, have a Buffy marathon and gorge ourselves. Of course, no one can eat an entire big sandwich/half a boston cream pie in one sitting. That’s what the mini-fridges in our rooms were for, so we could pick it back up after a few more hours had elapsed.

Also, if you are ever at a party with Mandy, and she says, “I’ll be right back; I’m just going to go to the bathroom for a minute,” STOP HER. That’s code for, “I’m going home; you won’t see me again for a week.”

Thanks, John! I have three things to say back:

Rupert is single. I’ll give him your number.
Do it, and make sure you get the bacon!
I am a deadbeat sleeping bag mother.
