I’m a little concerned about my readership, or the lack thereof, specifically.

The last thing the 206 hip-hop world needs is another Joe-Schmo inserting his so-very-refined opinions into the blogosphere (for the record I hate that term, probably as much as Sabzi hates “conscious”).

So, just to make sure you’re out there, and to confirm that I should continue indulging myself in this here blog, I’m conducting a brief survey. An opportunity for you to let me know you care (and that you are not just a Googlebot parading around the interwebs as a real live human). You may not have enough of an opinion to comment on one of my previous posts, but surely you want to shout out your hometown, right? Right??

(Especially if your hometown never gets enough love. Like Sequim, for example. When was the last time Sequim got some love in the hip-hop world? Now’s your chance to teach us how to pronounce it correctly!)

1. Name? (Doesn’t have to be your real name, of course. Your wordpress.com username is fine, if you have one. Yahoo chat, maybe. CB radio handle, If you’re into that sort of thing which, if you’re from Sequim, maybe you are…)

2. Area code/Hometown?

3. Website?

4. Huskies or Cougars?

5. Favorite local hip-hop group?

6. Favorite venue?

7. Starbucks or Tully’s? (Just kidding, everyone knows REAL Seattle coffee drinkers go local. So what’s your favored shop?)

8. Favorite record store?

9. Last great book you read? (You do read, right? “If you got time to take a sh*t…”)

10. Does throwing dead fish constitute an egregious violation of the animal’s rights? (Just wanted to throw that one in there to shake things up a little.)
