Pat once drank a soda bottle filled with cheap beer and cheaper tequila on a dare. He has always tried to convince his friends to listen to new bands with mixed results, and was once told Pavement "sounds like country" by one of them. He never forgave the comment and now he tries to convince strangers to listen to new music.
He has attended countless shows since his first, which was, embarrassingly, The Club MTV Concert Tour featuring Tone Loc and Paula Abdul. As a result of attending so many shows he can often be heard remarking, "What?"
He currently resides in South Minneapolis with his girlfriend, two cats, and many, many, many CDs.
