It's Jawbreaker Day, and We Got Chris Bauermeister and Adam Pfahler To Do An Interview Together
How much contact do you have with the other members?
Adam: Lotta. Those guys are my friends.
After so many years, what's it feel like to know so many people still care about a band you were in for a relatively brief period of time? For example, when you see people still getting the logo tattoo, how does that make you feel?
Adam: I can relate because I care for this band a great deal. I always try to get a photo of the tattooed peeps.
Chris: Ten years (1986-1996) isn't really that brief a period of time, but I suppose I'm flattered; it also helps me when I'm down to know that I was part of something which still has some sort of lasting impact - though I'm waiting until we're listed under "classic rock."
Adam, you operate a video store, correct? Once Netflix and the Internet kill hard copies for good, do you think you might get into the pay phone business?
Adam: The Internet couldn't punch its way out of a wet paper bag.
How often to people come into your job not because they are high and want to rent "The Room" or "Troll 2," but to see you?
Adam: Sometimes they come in high and want to see me.
Adam, have you seen any of Blake or Chris' post-Jawbreaker bands live? If so, how tempting was it to yell "Kiss the Bottle?" at them? I ask because whenever I've seen Blake, that's what happens.
Adam: I see them every time they come through, so I've seen Jets To Brazil, Thorns Of Life and forgetters. I saw Chris' Mutoid Men last time they played Gilman. I yell out for "Freebird" like any fan.
Let's just say I was part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and I wanted to hear "Jinx Removing" performed live before I died. Would knowing that the Internet would crucify the three of you if you said no be enough to get you to perform in my hospital room?
Adam: What if we just showed up, watched you die, then ran through a two hour set? That would be harsh.
Chris: Censure by computer is irrelevant in my case: I don't really check any sort of online message boards or social media regularly and could care less what the Internet says about me, it's not a personal friend of mine with whom I have day-to-day human interactions - you really should get out more and stop trying to blackmail people with your imagined death.
Name one band that you haven't been in that you know every drum fill.
Adam: The Clash.
Final question: How often do totally nerdy fanboy geeks such as myself ask you lame questions such as these?Adam: Lotta. Those guys are my friends.

Adam: Not nearly enough!
Chris: Only when Adam passes it on or some new student in town figures out who that old fat guy with the glasses used to be.
