September 30, 2005 (Thanks Bri K.)
If you could have any super power in the world what would it be?
To have a green thumb, and make a money tree (real money) or to fly since she hates planes.

What was your favorite part about recording your CD?
Learned a lot about herself.

Do you do anything special before you perform like a tradition or like praying or things/stuff like that?
Brie and her band are called the power rangers, and do a huddle all say "[color] power". Brie is the pink ranger.

What is your dream car?
Old Chevy truck from the 50's that's in gumby green or a GT mustang.

How did you get your famous boots, and what makes them so special to you?
Got them from Ben (her bassist). He showed her a picture of them when they were at a mall, and she didn't get them at first. But then 10 minutes before her show (in Oregon) she ran and bought them, luckily they had her size and then ran back to do the show in them. She says they're her lucky charm and she owns 6/7 pairs of cowboy boots.

Which song did you have the most fun recording?
"She Shall Remain Nameless". Brie, her mom, and someone else got to do the clapping in the song. She says it's the most upbeat on the album.

What other instruments do you play besides guitar? How long did it take you to learn to play the guitar?
Brie plays the piano and bass (more piano than bass). She got a guitar when she graduated 6th grade (and that's supposevily a family tradition) but she didn't start playing it till a year later.

If you could have a dream date with any celebrity, who would it be and what would you do?
Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes, and she would love to watch him write/record. She also likes Adam Lavigne, Adam Brody, William (from the chronicles of narnia, she loves his accent), and Johnny Knoxville.

How was it touring with Jesse McCartney?
Incredible, so much fun.
