Five questions

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Kristen May, Lead singer of Vedera: People who are not open-minded. People need to listen to others who are maybe a little different than them.

Heather Steinle, Overland Park sophomore: When people push the stop button on the bus when they already know that it’s eventually going to stop.

If you could see anyone in concert, dead or alive, who would it be?

K.M.: Led Zeppelin or The Who, because I love that psychedelic rock phase.

H.S.: John Mayer and Eric Clapton together, because I’m obsessed with them and the way they play the guitar.

What is your favorite thing about your job?

K.M.: The freedom. Especially being on tour every day and meeting new people.

H.S.: I’m an extended-care teacher at St. John’s Catholic School, and it’s really rewarding to be able to make kids happy.

What is your favorite childhood memory?

K.M.: Visiting my family in South Carolina, especially my grandma, who lived on Myrtle Beach.

H.S.: When my family used to go to Crestline Mountains in California and stay in a cabin.

Who is the biggest inspiration in your life?

K.M.: My mom, because she has been through everything that could break a person, and she is still the most joyful, positive, encouraging person.

H.S.: My family, because I’m the youngest and I’ve always wanted to live up to what they’ve taught me.
