Good afternoon Team CalVegas. Please state your name and where you’re from for the record.

Courtney McGuire (CM): I’m Courtney and I’m from Portland, Oregon.

Chelsey Eschevarria (CE): Chelsey, Tarpon Springs, Florida.

Logan Richards (LR): My name is Logan and I’m from Mineral Wells, West Virginia.

Martha Pelayo (MP): I’m Martha and I’m from Monterrey, Mexico.

Martha, does anyone ever tell you that you look like Miranda Kerr?

MP: No, who is that?

She’s just a Victoria Secret supermodel who is married to Orlando Bloom. No biggie. How did you all learn about Invisible Children?

CM: I watched a Fall Out Boy music video and saw a link to IC. I went on youtube and watched The Rough Cut.

CE: My freshman year of college at UCF, I went to a screening on campus. I interned this past summer and was a roadie last semester.

LR: A friend invited me to The Rescue in Huntington, WV. I went and then watched The Rough Cut, and then booked screenings at my college (WVU-Parkersburg).

MP: Roadies came to my school and I saw The Rescue. I went to LA in 2010 for the Bamboozle Festival and met Kenny and Alex. Then I hosted a screening at my school last semester (ITESM).

Any personal habits that your teammates will be annoyed with after tour?

CM: I can’t wake up in the morning; I sleep like a rock

CE: I have lots and lots of energy. And I’m a stickler for time.

You should be in charge of waking Courtney up from her deep sleep. It’s time! It’s time! You’re welcome in advance for solving your problems.

LR: I’m stubborn about not eating fruits and vegetables, and I’m on a team of vegetarians and vegans. I goof off a lot and like to say random things that don’t sense. And I’m really talkative.

You don’t say.

MP: I can’t stop laughing when I start (proceeds to laugh…and laugh).

What is your favorite football team? As with other roadie teams, if you don’t have one, I will choose the Chargers for you by default.

CM: I don’t watch football. So, Chargers?

You betcha.

CE: Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

LR: The Boston Red Sox.

MP: Pittsburgh Steelers.

I’m not really happy with any of your answers, but this is not about me. What is your favorite food?

CM: Dessert…any kind.

CE: Leaves…salad…vegan.

LR: Chicken…carnivore.

MP: Berries.

And finally, who is your celebrity crush?

CM: Male or female?

Either. Both.

CM: Emma Watson and Darren Criss.

CE: Tim Allen. And Taye Diggs. I have jungle fever.

LR: Natalie Portman and Drew Barrymore.

MP: Angelina Jolie.

Oh, Angelina. Yes. She really does surpass all reasoning. Well Team CalVegas, good luck on your adventure. Stop at nothing.
