Where will your pumpkin live for Halloween?
"The beach."
Any funny stories while crafting your pumpkin?
"To get my inspiration flowing, I had the Bob Marley doc playing in the background. At one point I started sobbing uncontrollably and almost cut off my thumb. Maybe it's not such a funny story, but at least I still have all my digits. Rest in peace, Bob!"
What's the most memorable childhood or adult memory you have carving pumpkins?
"My first Halloween in America, we were a bit confused about the holiday's traditions and my mother ended up giving away pumpkins to every kid that came to the house. Needless to say, they were pissed: I mean who wants to schlep around a pumpkin all night, right? In the morning our street was littered with smashed pumpkins and covered in pulp. We all thought, Americans are so wasteful, and what a weird holiday!"
