[04-20-2009]Howie answering fan questions on MySpace

How/why did the little face in your autograph come to be and do you have any other artistic abilities we don't know about?

The smiley face was something Pollyanna use to do when I was little so I snagged it from her when I started doing autographs.


Which embarrassed you more? Falling on your butt in Melbourne
and having it viewed on YouTube a gadjillion times, or getting caught
swearing on stage
during broadcast TV in Kuala Lumpar?

Falling on my Butt in Melbourne was so embarrassing. It was so
embarrassing that I didn't even feel the pain. Was more embarrassed two
days later when I
realized I had a rip in my pants that everyone could probably see.


What's the status of your solo CD? IT seems like it's been 'halfway done' for ages!

I feel the same way. I truly have been working on it and it's a
work in progress. The group stuff has to be a priority for all of us.
Still a passion of
mine and I still want to do it when the timing is right.


If you were asked to do 'Dancing With the Stars', would you do it?

I think I would if it was at a time when I wasn't busy with Backstreet Stuff or my solo stuff.


I just wanted to know what is the most craziest stalker
situation you have encountered? or what is the craziest thing a fan has
said to you? also what
was the meanest thing anti bsb fans ( booo) has said or done to you
guys?

The craziest thing was probably when they got hold of my cell phone
number and called me a couple of times to wish me a happy birthday.


Are you going to bring backhowied.com, your website? I love that place you should bring it back?

I am considering a website to include my music (solo and BSB), my other business interests, and my family life.


Are you going to do DLF events like DLF Weekend Celebration in 2006? You should do more events like that?

Right now there are no plans on the books for an event but we are always looking for ideas and we welcome the fans doing events.


Do you think you have a chance to come to Japan for DLF event?I
wish you and your family could come to Japan and raise lots of money
AGAIN!!!!!

Would LOVE to come back to Japan. Your country has always been so
supportive of not only the Backstreet Boys but also of the DLF. My
family and I loved being
there. Hopefully we will be able to come back one day.


Did you and the other guys enjoy visiting places that you
haven't been in many years during the Unbreakable Tour, like my
hometown,Quebec City,
Canada?

I always love touring and going to new places. We definitely enjoyed being in Canada.


Hey Howie! How you going? Your awesome for taking the time to
answer question. Anyways, If you could take over and run a whole
country by yourself
which one would it be and what would be the first law that you make.

That's a tough one. I think I would run America and get us out of this
economic deficit we're in. Make medicine affordable for everybody. Have
birthdays off.


Well... I only want to know if there is any address for to send gifts to the baby, i want to send some gift... can I??

The best place to send stuff is to our management. Here is the address.


Prospect Place

c/o Jenn Sousa

2049 Century Park East

Los Angeles, CA 90067


Thank you so much for your kindness and thoughts.


My question is, 'what is the reason for the rush on this album?
You all halted your solo projects to do it, and its highly unusual
given the length
of time it took to make Unbreakable and Never Gone. Are you confident
that you are not compromising the quality of the band's music for the
sake of getting
another record out?'

We're not trying to rush the CD. It'll be two years between the new one
and 'Unbreakable' by the time it comes out. We're all very
confident that this is going to be better.


Question for Howie--How come the boys always pick on you what did you ever do to them lol just wandering

I'm still wondering myself. I guess I'm just an easy target and
they always go after the nice guy. I do always find a way of getting
even though.
Justice served on a cold platter.


Hi Howie and hi to Leigh, too! My question is, do you have
names picked out for Baby D. yet and if so, do you care to share your
choices with us?
Thanks and God bless both of you and your little one! I'm so very happy
for you! ((HUGS)) Susie K.

We are definitely thinking of names but we want to keep them a secret
so that when the baby is born, it will be a surprise to all of us.
Thank you for asking.


If you were a t-shirt, what would you say?

Have a Nice Day - with a wink.
