JD: It was so awesome, man. You know, I guess...the one thing I was sad about was that Kristen was working so hard, and it was like, here's another year of that, so it's kind of like...I don't know, my attention was with her. I hoped we could kind of...expand the show to other avenues, just for her sake. But we were in New York, and I think we all went out to dinner and just had a great time. I couldn't fucking believe it, man. It's such a pyramid -- how many pilots are written, how many are picked up to get made, how many are picked up to become shows, and then re-picked up for multiple seasons...you just have so few. CB: What are the road trips you take with the rest of the cast like? Any good stories? JD: Oh, boy. We went by the grassy knoll, which was rad...so amazing. We'd just go to like, these places where...our first one in Seattle, it was just unbelievable. We pulled up in like, two different Hummers, these girls were just screaming, and I don't even think they'd seen the show. It's like, I remember not being able to get the time of day from anyone, and all of a sudden you're on TV and it's way different. But it's cool when people understand what you're doing -- I love it when you guys post and you see the little things that we do. CB: What's it like having Rico [Colantoni] along on those trips? Is he like the dad of the group? JD: That's exactly right. He's just the total father and just...he so allows people to be who they are. It's so nice to be in his space and just talk to him. I don't know...he's so caring, so wants to know how you're doing. He's our only adult, really, but he's such a kid in some ways. I think he keeps it all under control and together, you know? CB: Awesome. Now, getting back to your character: we talked a little bit earlier on where his worldview is at the moment. You mentioned a sort of beaten-down apathy, and a lot of the posters have complained that so much bad stuff has happened to your character. In fact, on more than one occasion, it's seemed like Logan's entertained the thought of suicide. Do you think Logan now has a "me against the world" attitude? JD: I think...yeah, I would say that, to some degree, you know, because he doesn't think that anyone understands him. Because, like you said earlier, people think they're right. Nobody thinks this kid is right but him. I think Veronica understands certain reasons...certain of his backstory that's made him be the way he is. I think she's the only person, because it's like, who the fuck gets this guy, man?
