Jodi

Ever try to meet people in Vancouver? You'll have better luck getting Paris Hilton invited to Elton John's next Oscar soiree than you will convincing someone to talk to you in a bar. So there you stand, wondering "Who are those people I see every time I go to a show?" You're too shy to ask, so we do it for you.

Who are you? "I'm just a girl... No, seriously, my name is Jodi. Hello!!!"

In my 9-to-5 life I'm a: "Purveyor of spirits-that's fancy for liquor-store clerk."

If you're buying, I'll have: "A lemon-drop martini, please!"

The best show I ever saw was: "That's an easy one. Definitely Franz Ferdinand at the Commodore in September of '04."

I wish people would shut up about: "Canadian/American Idol. What an unbelievable waste of money, year after year, showcasing a bunch of cookie-cutter no-talents."

The last concert t-shirt i bought was: "My pink-and-brown-striped Franz Ferdinand shirt, from when they played in Seattle, October 1, '05. I bought it because I love them and I like the colours. And it's really soft, too!"

In the movie of my life, I'd be played by: "If she acted, I would pick singer-comedian Jann Arden because, well, a lot of people think I look like her. And even though she's had a bumpy ride, she's still able to get through it all and make people laugh-like me, I guess."

Was there lint? "During the Franz Ferdinand show at the Commodore in September, I was in the front row and, during the encore song, 'This Fire', [singer] Alex Kapranos jumped down and leaned into the crowd. His shirt was undone, all the way to his waist, so who the hell could blame me for reaching my hand in and rubbing his naked, sweaty stomach? The problem was I accidentally poked him right in the belly button-hard. After the show, I waited for an hour in that stinky back alley and I finally got to meet him and the band. I said sorry for poking him and his eyes went wide and he replied, 'That was YOU, was it?' I almost fainted right there."
