Full name: Emma Karchner

Hometown: Berwick

Favorite Weekender feature: Quick Chord

Favorite bar/restaurant: Emma’s in Philly (small Italian place, can’t beat it)

What are you passionate about? Life and writing & playing music

Who do you admire? My friends who are the best people I know

What’s something most people don’t know about you? I get compared to Jessica Day (Zooey Deschenal’s character on New Girl) all of the time

Are you a dog person or a cat person? Dogs all the way. Also horses, they’re basically just huge dogs.

If you had to pick, would you want someone with beauty or brains? Brains. You can have a pretty face, but if you can’t hold a conversation with me, things will go nowhere.

My last meal would be … a plain bagel with chocolate chip cream cheese and some fries. And probably hot mint tea

My theme song would be: “You Make My Dreams Come True” by Hall&Oates

My best concert was: Have Mercy on Friday the 13th this year. Got tattoos with two of my best friends and ate a whole bunch of ice cream after the show

For a good time I: spend time with my friends and do whatever we can to keep ourselves entertained. Last time this happened my friend and I spoke in southern accents for about an hour. It ended in crying laughter.
