Date: 12/03/04
1. NAME? Allister Thompson
2. PLACE OF BIRTH? Leicester, United Kingdom
3. FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY?
Visiting my grandparents in Wales...they were great people.
4. FIRST MUSICAL INFLUENCES?
First album I ever owned was the White Album by the Beatles. When I got my first guitar, I was going through a goth stage and was listening to The Cure.
5. FIRST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT AND WHAT DO YOU PLAY NOW?
Guitar, and I still play it as well as I can.
6. YOUR FAVORITE HOBBIES GROWING UP?
I was a sports kid...that changed when I hit puberty. I've always liked to read.
7. WORST THING YOU DID AS A TEENAGER?
Stole money off my parents once...my conscience is still smarting from that one! Sorry Mum!
8. YOUR FIRST GIG EVER AS A MUSICIAN?
Drama room, age 16, high school, playing in my first band, the horribly-named Feudal System. It went poorly, but I bounced back eventually.
9. YOUR WORST LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER?
In my second band, Toronto, 1994, Ultrasound Showbar. Broke two strings, had no backup guitar, slammed a car door on my bass player's hand (sorry, Craig). I can't remember if I played well.
10. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO OTHER THAN MUSIC NOW DAYS?
Try to get out of the city and camp as much as possible. Read books...about music. Hang out with my lady.

I have no particular desire to meet anybody...anybody friendly will do!
15. MAKE 3 WISHES.
1) World peace, of course
2) I'd like to visit another galaxy, please. Can you arrange it?
3) Newcastle Brown for life
16. WHAT IS THE LAST THING YOU BOUGHT?
Well, I just bought some milk...
17. WHAT REALLY MAKES YOU MAD?
The whole damn state of the world...corporate globalization sucks! Also rude people, of which there are many on this planet.
18. YOUR FAVORITE PLACES TO PERFORM AT?
Bovine Sex Club, Toronto
19. WORST TOUR BUS STORY?
Someone took a dump once...you just DON'T do that!
20. WHAT IS IN YOUR CD PLAYER RIGHT NOW?
At this exact moment, I am listening to Forget Yourself by The Church, an awesome album.
