Yeah, and if it’s changed, seeing as you’ve had such a wild and crazy year while still being here…

It’s changed a little bit. I’m not sure if this should be on the record or not… but fuck it. I’ve been thinking about moving to LA, recently. It’s still very much an idea in larval form, but I’m starting to feel like I want to do it. Partly because, as much as I adore Atlanta and all my connections here, I kind of want to just totally rip everything apart. Not in a mean way, it's just that I feel like, for me, maybe it’s a good time to shred all of my preconceived ways of doing things and just try something completely freaky and different. I often find that to be creatively motivating. I’ve been in Atlanta pretty much without interruption since the very beginning of my 20s, but I’m 30-years-old now, and I feel like starting a new chapter. I'll definitely always feel that I’m Atlanta’s baby and I will always feel like I belong here.

More so than Chicago?

Oh, for sure. Yeah, I mean I never really got to know Chicago. I feel a connection to that part of Illinois, and that part of the Midwest, just because I sort of get to say that I’m from there, which is technically true, but I don’t have a whole lot of personal history there which is connected to the place. Although, I can do a really great Midwestern accent. People say I sound Southern, which I’m cool with too.

So, Atlanta feels like home.

Atlanta feels like home, for sure. In a big way.

It’s Athens, not Atlanta, but Creature Comforts brews the “Tropicalia” American IPA. I wonder if you’ve had it and if you enjoyed it?

Sure, it’s fine. It doesn’t taste like Brazil to me, but I don’t think it’s supposed to.

What does taste like Brazil?

You’ve gotta get a capirinha for that! It’s like a cachaça rum drink - very Brazilian!
