             directly in front of the professor and takes a seat across the room. The assignment is given and everyone is on edge. Each student is instructed to pair up with another to interview them and I'm relieved when Alex Flippin takes a seat next to me. I quickly realize that long awkward silences have no place here. .

Something in his manner makes me wish we could have this consultation over a plate of fries at Hoffbrau, his favorite bar in town.

Immediately I envision Alex standing on the stage at Juanita's with that special blend of talent and ease. He tells me that the soundtrack to his life would best be illustrated by the Deftones and he would rather be deaf than blind because then he could at least feel the music.
