BrittanyAbout Brittany: To be honest, I find it hard to get myself across in such a small amount of space SO I thought I'd answer a few questions to curb your curiosity, but by all means ask and find out more by listening and calling in to my show The Daily Grind (10-2), smoke signals, OR by shooting me an email brittany@borderrock.com. Hometown: North Vancouver, BC Favourite Food: If the second word in the question had an 's' on the end this answer would be encyclopedia length. I'll have to go with waffles for the time being... Favourite Band: David Bowie. I normally refer to him as just 'David'. Nicknames: Britt, Brit Brit and B-Money are acceptable. When you're not @ The Goat what do you do: Gym, cooking, reading, sleeping, watching Dexter/30 Rock/Breaking Bad/Intervention and getting lost in the abyss of the internet Favourite Movie: Casino. Robert DeNiro has an excellent selection of suits in the film. What animal would you be? A leopard. I really like leopard print. 'Really Like' is an massive understatement. Random facts : I have been to 26 official "Diners Drive Ins and Dives",traveled to 16 countries and own the most adorable cat in the world named Valescka.
