SXSW - Hunk of the Week!

Name:  Mike Wiebe
Occupation:  Musician/Writer (so I'm actually a bartender)
Single: I recently started dating Taylor Swift, but I wouldn't consider it serious. The main issues are our age difference and the restraining order.
Age: 36, but extremely immature

Our first SXSW Hunk knows a thing or two about performing. Riverboat Gamblers, High Tension Wires, Ghost Knife, AND a stand-up comedian? Jesus, this dude is busy as fuck. He makes the ladies swoon, and the dudes walk funny. You can see him all over this week for SXSW, follow the screams of adoring fans, and blood from his fingernails. Check out one of the shows below, you won't regret it.

What is your deal breaker?
Being a better rapper than me (that's why me and M.I.A. aren't together anymore), and flip flops.

What is your deal maker?
Being a worse rapper than me (that's why me and Debbie Harry have made it for so long).

What do you love most about Austin?
That if I were to put on the most mismatched, insane clothing, within five minutes of leaving the house, I would run into some dude who would make me look conservative and boring. He would also probably have a mustache like a boxer from 1912.

Where do you like to hang out? So Miss Austin fans can stalk you...
Highland Mall food court, over by the Pretzel Place. I drink my smoothies and hope someone will notice I'm reading "The Hunger Games" so we can talk.

I love old music videos, it's a shame they aren't what they used to be. Which music video would you say speaks to you the most, and why?
"Union of the Snake" by Duran Duran because I'm pretty sure I'll be a big part of the revolution when the snake people reveal their true selves (I'm looking at you Sarah Palin...)  http://bit.ly/r1sjE6

Who do you feel most akin to? Bruce Stringsteen? Groucho Marx? Lyle Lovett? Freddy Fender? Charo? John Wayne? Someone else?
Groucho Marx! I have taken his famous quote, "Why would I want to be a part of any club that would have me as a member" and applied it to every relationship.

Anything else we should know about you? Arrest record? Fetishes? Bastard Children? Secret crushes?
I'm a Virgo and I like short walks to the store. My fetish is accepting cash as a gift. I was arrested once. I was only locked up for six hours, but I started up a gang called the Ocelots. I ruled with an iron fist and traded a man's life for a carton of cigarettes. I don't have any bastard children, but I do have a bastard cat. The little bastard just barfed on the floor. I guess I better clean that up.
