…and here’s one of the responses:
From what I understand, The Stranger is not an actual newspaper, does not report the news, and does not hold what most people would consider fair interviews. For instance, I could explain that as a Republican, I strongly support the upcoming Washington State Initiative 1149, but the Stranger would instead report instead that I want to banish panda bears to a small island off the coast of Yemen, and detonate a nuclear device nearby.
You do however organize excellent concert and event listings. Thank you for the invitation.

Panda bears need to be beware, though. The volcanic terrain of the Socotra archipelago would probably kill them off. And the heat. And the lack of bamboo.
