Hi Josh! I’m wondering where the name JK Dashwood came from (Go Robot video opening credits). Thanks!

Haha! Well, I despise my name with an undying and burning passion but missed my chance as a younger person to change it. I cannot stress to you how much I can’t stand my name. The look of it, the sound of it, everything. Anyway, no big story with this one. There’s a lovely bookshop in New York called Dashwood Books. I remember liking that name from Sense & Sensibility. I also thought I recalled it being in a cartoon I watched as a kid…but that was Cherrywood. A friend and I were joking about what I’d change my name to if I could, I jokingly picked something proper and Anglican sounding, Dashwood. We laughed. A few days later, I needed a fake name for that video. It was pointed at that friend.
