\nAfter immigrating from the Dominican Republic as a baby, I grew up in Lawrence, MA – an inner city that has the second most dense population of Dominicans outside the Dominican Republic (second to NYC). My most terrifying childhood experience was probably that time I got knocked out with a baseball while batting in little league. Not a fun walk back to the dugout. I didn\u2019t think my face could swell up that much the next morning.<\/p>\n
\nShark. It\u2019s quick.<\/p>\n
\nLo mein because it\u2019s more fun with chopsticks.<\/p>\n![\"Alfredo](\"http:\/\/cms.peatix.com\/images\/blog\/Alfredosan2.jpg\")

\nI didn\u2019t always know I wanted to go into ticketing, but I\u2019ve always had an inclination towards music. Given my marketing background, ticketing makes the most sense.<\/p>\n
\nIsosceles is 60 degrees and Scalene is less than 30 degrees?<\/p>\n![\"Scalene](\"http:\/\/cms.peatix.com\/images\/blog\/scalene-triangle.gif\")

\nWhat don\u2019t I do at Peatix?<\/p>\n
\nIn 60 years I will be 84, so I would definitely want to be a wizard. If I\u2019m senile, I will definitely become a wizard.<\/p>\n![\"Alfredo](\"http:\/\/cms.peatix.com\/images\/blog\/AlfredoGoogle.jpg\")

\nMusic! I like Pianos just because it was the first place my friend took me while visiting NYC and I had a blast.<\/p>\n
\nSeeing their vision come to fruition. Pulling off an event is hard! When everyone has a great time – how can you not love that?<\/p>\n![\"Best](\"http:\/\/cms.peatix.com\/images\/blog\/Pianos.jpg\")

\nA man was doing a magic show and turned a football into doves. I had no clue how he did it, but I gave him a dollar.<\/p>\n
\nTough question. Seven Stars by Air is what first comes to mind.<\/p>\n
