Few musicals ever address themes like education, pornography, racism and homosexuality. Even fewer shows address these themes with an ensemble of puppets. “Avenue Q,” the Broadway show that has swept the nation, is coming to San Jose for a limited engagement from Jan. 12 – Jan. 17. Intermission got to sit down with Princeton, the star puppet of the show, and ask him what life after college is really like.

i: Is college really the happiest time of our lives? Is there nothing else to look forward to?

Princeton: College was a BLAST, it’s true. And since I graduated, life definitely has its share of ups and downs. But, something good is coming, I can feel it. You never know what’ll happen next!

i: What advice would you give to those who actually are getting their BAs in English?

P: Make sure the companies you work for aren’t laying employees off before their first day. That was rough.

i: Stanford is located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, where the Internet is being further developed every day. Is the Internet really just for porn?

P: Well, my neighbor, Trekkie Monster, seems to think so. And, for me, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t PART of my internet experience. But, I use it for other things too… I swear…

i: You’ve had your share of relationship problems. Do you have any love advice to give?

P: Honestly, I’m the last person to ask about love advice! No matter what I do, it seems like I’m always screwing up! I’m getting better, though… I think.
