What was it like growing up in Houston?
Ryan: I really liked Houston growing up. There were parks, restaurants, theaters, etc. The people I knew were great.
Jeremy: It was nice. Had great friends, family and neighbors. They all taught me a lot.
Justin: Cool. I had everything I needed in the arts.
When you come home to Houston, what places do you always visit?
Ryan: I visit the places I used to hang, like Brasil, House of Pies and my old high school.
Jeremy: Always go to my folks' house. From there, it is Tony's Mexican Restaurant and always Fuzzy's Pizza. It's the best.
Justin: Fuzzy's Pizza, Brasil.
When describing Houston to friends that have never been here, what do you tell them?
Ryan: It's big. Get a map.
Jeremy: I tell them we have great fans in Houston that got us started. We'd be nowhere without them.
Justin: I basically tell them to go Westheimer and Montrose.
What is your favorite time to come back? Are there any events you never want to miss?

Jeremy: I like Christmas time. I always have to check out the Christmas lights in candlelight.
Justin: Seeing my parents.
What is your favorite Houston memory?
Ryan: Times at the zoo and Hermann Park.
Jeremy: Probably the friends I made in high school that I don't get to talk to much anymoree. My friends from the swim team at Waltrip High. Those are hilarious memories.
Justin: Fitzgerald's
Where can you be found listening to live music? Dining? Shopping?
Ryan: Fitzgerald's, Numbers, Goode Seafood Company, The Galleria.
Jeremy: Definitely Fitzgerald's. Sarah Fitzgerald really took care of us over there--our old stomping ground. I like to shop at the antique and vintage shops in the Heights and Montrose areas. Tony's Mexican Food and Fuzzy's Pizza.
Justin: Brasil
Is there anything else you'd like to say about Houston?
Ryan: That I love being from Houston--the people, the food, the fun!
