I totally misunderstood the question. I would've said "Green."

Hi Joss,

It’s truly an honor to have this opportunity to speak with you. Have been a fan for a long, long time. You might like to know that it was a mutual love for your work that brought my fiancée and me together. We even have matching Buffy tattoos.

Of course we’re both looking forward to Cabin, Much Ado, Avengers, Doc H 2, Goners (somedayish, right? RIGHT?!?), and of course Serenity 2: Weekend at Badger’s.

That being said, my questions to you are these:

1. Which of your characters was your absolute favorite to write? Why?

2. Conversely, which of your characters was the most difficult for you to write?

3. When are we going to see Wil Wheaton in a Joss Whedon project? Joss and Wil. It just feels right… kind of natural. Maybe even a little bit sexy in a way that I’m not comfortable discussing here.

Thanks for the AMA. It’s great to have you here. We wish you all the success in the world with your upcoming projects. As always, we’ll be here, belly up to the bar and waiting for another ice cold mug of Jossy goodness.

Cheers!

Yo Front,

Thanks for doing an AMA. Big fan.

My question to you today is about the future of Nerdcore hip hop and the implications therein. It seems like recently several artists in the genre have been garnering some attention from sources outside of the usual corners or Nerdcoredom. Guys like Adam Warrock, Beefy and MC (I’m not a Nerdcore artist) Chris getting picked up for soundtrack work on television and popular internet video series. While I would go so far as to say that I believe that any kind of publicity like that is probably good for the genre as a whole, I fear that most of the more non-nerdy types who hear these tracks for the first time write these songs off as novelties at best. I know that those of us who are “into the scene” don’t think of this music as novelty. It’s just “our music.”

What do you feel the Nerdcore community at large can do to help bring artists like yourself closer to the public consciousness without seeing our favorite artists being labeled as “comedy” or “novelty?” I feel like there are nerds-a-plenty out there that just haven’t had Nerdcore introduced to them as anything other than a laugh, and that makes me sad.

Thanks in advance for any knowledge you may feel so inclined to impart on the subject.

By the way, the next time you guys tour through Denver, hit me up. There’s a home-cooked meal waiting for you, Gaby and the guys anytime.

Cheers!

Yes, much much nicer than the uh... average... potty training "surprise."

That's a very thorough and thoughtful answer, MC. Thanks for taking the time.

Can't wait to see you in Denver again.
