It might not always feel like it, but LAist loves its readers. We do this for you.

So while we were t-p-ing your block, smashing pumpkins, changing the street signs, and defacing the letters on the Hollywood sign to spell "wood lol!", it dawned on us that we probably shouldn't still be doing liquid acid at our age on the dark hillsides of LA.

And then we realized that we should be more "interactive" with our readers more often. Sure, we know it all, but you know it all too. That's what makes us LAists, our confidence, our pride, our public education, our love for the Third Person.

For decades this blog has conducted the legendary LAist Interview. Famous people from all over this city have answered the questions in the LAist Interview, and since we have a good thing going, it's probably a good idea to change it up completely and ruin it, if at all possible.

As good as we are at fucking shit up, tonight, midnight of Halloween, we ask your help in thinking up new questions to ask the most interesting people of LA.

The goal is to come with 25-30 questions that we will be able to ask the batch of celebs/movers/shakers/cool kids/diplomats/gang members/Clipper Girls

So what we invite you to do is write down some good questions in the comments below, and make sure to leave behind your correct email address (it wont appear on the blog).

Why do we want your email address? Because we will be randomly selecting one lucky winner who will get an LAist CD 12-pack that will include the new cds from Scissor Sisters, Enigma, Muse, Emily Hanes, the latest greatest hits double cds from Moby and Massive Attack, and a half dozen more. So flow with the questions already!

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
