Ben Peterson (keyboardist) from Sing It Loud took a break from performing at Warped Tour to catch up with Buzznet. Ben is a pretty vocal fella' which we witnessed when he did about 10 interviews for us at Warped Tour in Pomona. What we didn't know about Ben is that he used to be the guy behind the counter at a independant super market where he grew up.

Buzznet: Do you have a morning bathroom routine?  If so, what does it entail from when you get out of bed until you are dressed for the day?

Ben:  Right away when I wake up and use the bathroom and then eat and then work out.

Buzznet: Who was your first kiss?  How old were you?

Ben: My first kiss was with a girl named Mollie.  I was in middle school.  

Buzznet: What do you have hanging on your walls in your bedroom?

Ben: I have posters of bands and High School Musical stuff.

Buzznet: Do you have any fetishes?  Any pet-peeves?

Ben: My biggest pet peeve is when someone has a problem with you and instead of telling you they tell someone else.

Buzznet: What is the first quality you look for in someone?  

Ben: Eyes and their smile.

Buzznet: What do you wear to sleep at night?

Ben: I wear either boxer briefs or bball shorts.

Buzznet: What song do you know every word to, but are totally embarrassed to know so well?

Buzznet: What text message or voicemail do you regret sending to someone so much that you'll never forget doing it?  Who was the person?

Ben: I've sent a text to an ex-girlfriend on accident that was supposed to be to a current one.  It was not fun.

Buzznet: Which era do you wish you most lived in and why?

Ben: I wish I was rockin' in the 80s like Def Leppard.

Buzznet: Do you have any scars?

Ben: I have two main ones.  A huge one on my left shoulder from a snowboarding accident that was so bad I needed surgery and then the other was from a girl who scratched my stomach at the Dallas Warped Tour this past year.

Buzznet: If we gave you sourdough and you could put anything on your sandwich what would it be?
