Welcome to your interview Team East Coast. It’s a pleasure, I’m not kitten. Let’s begin with where you’re from.

JONATHAN (JONO) WIELAND (JW): I was born in England, went to school in Scotland, then I lived in New Zealand.

DANNY RAMOS (DR): Miami, Florida.

ANANDA ROBIE (AR): I spent the first half of my life in Germantown, Maryland and moved to Arizona right before high school.

CLAIRE PENDERGRAST (CP): Memphis, Tennessee.

How did you come to know Invisible Children?

JW: I was dragged along to The Rescue.

DR: I heard about it in high school but I really got into it in college at the University of Florida.

AR: I learned about IC after a trip to Ghana when one of my friends told me about it. From hearing about it and moving to San Diego to be a Roadie was probably 6 weeks.

CP: A friend of mine handed me The Rough Cut in the hallway in high school and then we booked a screening. I’ve had 5 groups of Roadies come through, but this is my first time behind the scenes.

What is your favorite movie?

JW: Home Alone 2

DR: Garden State

AR: Beyond the Call

SP: Waking Life

JW: You guys are making me look like a kid. But I stand by it.

If you could have one super power, what would it be?

JW: Super speed. Because it’s the least creepy.

DR: I need to think…

AR: I feel like this is so typical, but I’d like to read people’s minds.

JW: Creepy.

AR: No what if I said, “Joseph Kony what are you thinking?” and then, Snap! we’d know where he is.

DR: Fine, teleporting.

CP: Flying.

If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?

AR: Maya Angelou.

CP: Man, you took mine!

DR: JFK.

CP: What about dead, alive or fictional?

No…

JW: Alexander the Great.

CP: I feel like I have to pick a dead person now. I’m having such a hard time…OK fine. Maya Angelou.

What would you eat for your last meal?

JW: I don’t mind as long as there’s a trifle for dessert. So maybe a chicken roll followed by a trifle.

DR: Everything my grandma’s ever made me. I’m Cuban so it’s super authentic and super good.

AR: We take these questions so seriously. Like this is literally our last meal. I would have my grandpa’s spaghetti because he puts sausages in it.

CP: There’s a place called Urban Spoon where I live in Chattanooga. So anything off that menu.

What is your most annoying habit?

CP: My annoying habit is putting z’s at the end of everything. Like LOVESIEZ!

DR: There’s literally so many z’s.

AR: Twirling my hair. My team hasn’t seen it much yet, but my last team hated it.

DR: I don’t know if it’s annoying but I don’t have a filter.

AR: Yes, it’s annoying.

JW: I act serious all the time and some people get offended. Claire, how would you explain it?

CP: Well he says things with a completely straight face and claims he’s not being sarcastic, so you don’t really know how to take it.

What are you most looking forward to out on the road?

JW: I’m kind of looking forward to seeing Amish people.

DR: I’m looking forward to seeing snow and having it in my beard. Because right now it’s only food. Like the bagel this morning and a bite of Ananda’s burrito.

AR: I’m so excited to be in my hometown and get to see people I haven’t seen in a long time. Colliding my two worlds.

CP: Seeing concerts on the road.

Team East Coast, you have been thoroughly entertaining. Good luck in your adventures! Stop at nothing.
