Way back in August, Tammy was the subject of our very first Pointless Questions...this was back when we were still doing it the old fashioned way, and we made her pull the questions out of an actual coffee can. Crazy, no? If you see Dressy Bessy at Kindercore's SXSW showcase on March 15th, ask Tammy if she even remembers answering these.

-- George Zahora
