QUESTION: First car?
WAECHTER: Oh, boy. A 1970-something Cadillac. The front window was spider-webbed, it was covered in rust, one headlight didn't work, one window wouldn't go up so I got soaked all the time, the key broke off in the ignition, there were oil spots in every parking spot.
QUESTION: Favorite late-night snack?
WAECHTER: Whatever's not rotten in my fridge.
QUESTION: Dream date?
WAECHTER: You mean besides my girlfriend? You might want to put that in there. Hmm. It's got to be Faith Hill.
QUESTION: What's in your CD player?
WAECHTER: I've got two with me - a pregame mix CD with Metallica, Linkin Park, stuff like that, and (jazz pianist) Norah Jones.
QUESTION: Okay, Mr. St. Petersburg, what's your favorite local spot?
WAECHTER: El Cap. No doubt. Best hamburger I've ever had.
