Ben Katzman & Chris Collins (Boston, MA)

Allston Pudding: Alright guys, so I’ve got three questions for you and then you’ll kick it off for all the bands, are you ready?

Ben Katzman: It’s like a long game of telephone! Yeah! Ok. Let’s get rocking.

AP: How should we physically and mentally prepare for BUFU Fest?

BK: It’s very simple. There are two things you have to do mentally: you gotta play no games and chill mad hard. Physically, you have to crop your tops and then as far as your diet concerns, just oreos and vegan tacos. Yeah, that’s all.  Doing those things for about 3 weeks should get you ready for BUFU Fest.

AP: Totally doable. Will there be any dogs at BUFU Fest? 

BK: Updog will be there in a very heavy presence in a few different way. Updog will definitely be there. What do you think, Chris?

Chris Collins: You’ll see when you get there just how crazy it all is.

AP: Any other dogs? Just Updog? Can we bring our own dogs?

BK: No, no, but there will be a lot of dogs there. *snickers* You know what I mean?

CC: We’re all dogs.

BK: You know what I mean, dog?

CC: There’s an Updog in all of us. He represents our purest emotions.

AP: Beautiful. Now, do you have a favorite t-shirt to chill mad hard in? 

BK: Oh! Man that is hard! I think about this almost every day! Collins, what’s yours?

CC: I have a couple. One of my favorites for the summer especially is my “Dream Team 1996” that’s got Penny Hardaway, Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley and a whole bunch of other people from the Olympic Dream Team on it.

BK: And mine is definitely my classic Metallica crop top. You’ll see us cropping hard.
