Sign and Worst Habit: Jared (to Pat): Do you know what your sign in? Pat: I do not know what my sign in... Jared: When's your birthday? Pat: February 1st. The Spotlight: I think that makes you an Aquarius. Jared: I'm an Aries and I bite my nails. Pat: I click my teeth...

What band on the AP Tour would say spends the most time on their hair? Jared: Family Force 5..? A Rocket To The Moon actually. Nick probably makes up for every body.

Fan Questions from Buzznet.com

How did you develop your sound?

Pat: I think it's kind of grown naturally...all of our different influences coming together, I guess.

Are you guys fans of waffles? Jared: Pat is a huge fan of waffles. Pat: I'm like addicted to waffles. Jared: He likes to cut holes in waffles and put them over his face and wear them as a mask.

How many marriage proposals do you get a night? Pat: On average, probably like one. Jared: John gets like 20. Pat: I just like to stick to 1... Jared: Yeah, if one fan asks Pat to marry him he'll [say yes] and then say no to everyone else the whole night.

What is your favorite state or place to play? Pat: That's hard....Chicago, maybe? Jared: Chicago is very fun. We had a really good run in Florida. [Also] It's always cool to play at home.

For Pat: Would you rather shave your head and have it never grow back or never eat Pinkberry again? Pat: I would definitely rather never eat Pinkberry again. As much as I love Pinkberry, I have ridiculously big ears and I could not pull off the whole shaved head look.

Whats one thing that people wouldn't know about you? Jared: Oh wow. There's a lot that people wouldn't know about me. I have to figure out which ones I want to tell. Pat: I can be kind of crazy sometimes. Jared: Pat has an alter-ego.

What's your alter-ego's name? Pat: I have multiple. I have so many that I couldn't even... Jared: I can name them off. There's Michael, Rat Boy, Shawn... Pat turns into a bunch of different people. It depends on what mood he's in. Pat: Jared can grow green things out of his earlobes. Jared: It's a genetic thing... The Spotlight: That could be your superpower.

What 'The Maine' song has the most sentimental value? Pat: This song called 'We All Roll Along' Jared: Yeah, I'd agree with that. It's about friends.

---end of fan questions--

How did you get the name 'The Maine'? Pat: We were scrambling around for a name at the last minute and we were really into a band called Ivory at the time. They had a song called Coast of Maine and we said 'Hey, we should be called The Maine' and then we just ran with it.

Are there any crazy fan stories from this tour (or any tour?) Jared: Yeah, three girls in Florida tried to climb into the back window of our bus.One of them was hanging off the front windshield and yelling at us to come outside! We were all taking a nap inside and we woke up kind of cranky. It was funny.

My sister says 'who's single?' Jared: We're all on the prowl.

Is there any thing you want to say to your fans, any shout outs or dedications? Jared: Yeah, come check us out this summer on the Vans Warped Tour! Pat: We would love to talk to you and maybe buy you a couple of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Jared: And flowers. Buy Can't Stop, Won't Stop.
