THE GET UP KIDS<\/strong>
\nINTERVIEW WITH JIM SUPTIC<\/strong>
\nWORDS AND PHOTO BY RYAN RITCHIE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018I do not want to die in Los Angeles.\u2019<\/p>\n

Say your name and your favorite Spice Girl.<\/strong>
\nJim: I\u2019m Jim Suptic and my favorite Spice Girl is Baby Spice because she\u2019s short, sweet, innocent, cute, loveable and kissable and she\u2019s got blonde ponytails and she\u2019s cute and she\u2019s hot and she\u2019s Baby Spice. Delicious.<\/p>\n

Tell me about your earthquake experience (there was an earthquake late night\/early morning of this show).<\/strong>
\nJ: Alright, I was on a porch, intoxicated and all of a sudden everything starts shaking and I look over at some kids from LA and we looked at each other and we were like, \u2018Uh, I think this is an earthquake\u2019 and it started getting bigger and my friend Michelle was getting all excited and she was on the porch going, \u2018Oh my God, this is fun.\u2019 I was about to shit my pants and all I could think of was \u2018I do not want to die in Los Angeles.\u2019 We were in a hurricane on the East Coast and now an earthquake in LA.<\/p>\n

Explain exactly what Reggie and the Full Effect is.<\/strong>
\nJ: Reggie is a totally separate band that I do nothing but play in as do everyone else. I don\u2019t write any of the songs, no one does except James, it\u2019s his band, it\u2019s his deal. I have nothing to do with it. I will never play a Reggie song at a Get Up Kids show. I will never play a Get Up Kids song at a Reggie show and if kids request it, then tough shit, that\u2019s how it goes. I\u2019m not bitter and I will play in Reggie but it\u2019s two totally different bands. I don\u2019t mean to sound like a dick but when kids yell \u2018Play Reggie\u2019, it\u2019s like, \u2018No.\u2019
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where will you be on December 31, 1999?<\/strong>
\nJ: In a basement locked up. We\u2019ve all been talking about what we want to do. Probably a week before New Year\u2019s we are going to figure out what we are going to do. I know I want to be close to my family and friends. I’m not afraid of the world ending, I’m just afraid of people going psycho and I don\u2019t want to have to deal with them. I would never be in New York or Los Angeles or Chicago or anywhere like that.<\/p>\n

You guys are always considered the nice guys that never talk shit. Tell me who sucks and why.<\/strong>
\nJ: Taxes fucking suck. Canadian border guards fucking suck. They are dickheads. I love the Canadian people, they\u2019re wonderful people, I love Canada, I don\u2019t want to talk shit on Canada, but the Canadian border guards are all pissed off about South Park. Look, I didn\u2019t make the movie. Yeah, it was funny, but take a joke. It wasn\u2019t funny but my point is they\u2019re pissed and it\u2019s not our fault. We were just trying to play rock for the Canadian kids and they don\u2019t like us very much.<\/p>\n

What is it like having a bunch of underage girls wanting you?<\/strong>
\nJ: I wish I was 15 again because I wasn\u2019t very popular then. I had friends but I wasn\u2019t Mr. Studmuffin, girl getter. Now girls like me, I wish I was 15. And I wish I lived in Arkansas. Girls never come up and talk to me so…<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the one question you always wanted to answer but no one will ask?<\/strong>
\nJ: Questions about our record, our band or our songwriting.<\/p>\n
