So…the Stranger’s Genius Awards Party is tomorrow night at the Downtown Library. It’s going to be awesome! The Blow is playing. So is Vellela Vellela. So is Nordic Soul (aka Decibel Festival’s Sean Horton).

The Blow and I had a little chat about the Genius Awards, her SAT scores, and why the Stranger doesn’t have a Genius Award for music:

Have you ever been recognized for genius before? Placed in a gifted program or anything like that?

When I was little, I remember my mom having a conversation with me. I was in kindergarten, and I was in the Zebras, and my mom asked me if I would like to stay a Zebra or if I would like to move up and become a Horse. Maybe it was the other way around. And I decided that I wanted to go up and be a Horse, which meant that I was smart enough to skip ahead a grade. So I was a Horse instead of a Zebra.

You can read the whole thing here.

The Genius Awards Party starts at 9:30pm, it’s free, and it’s 21+.
