Meet The Mayors: Pottruck Showers

Just when you thought you shared everything with Foursquare, along came the location "Pottruck Showers." Dana T. is a fresh and so clean sophomore from Menlo Park, California who, when not showering, is avoiding old Asians.

UTB: What's your favorite thing about the Pottruck Showers? Dana T.: Going to work naked everyday is kind of fun.

UTB: Do you feel that foursquare has inspired you to be hygienic? D.T.: Um, every once and a while, it has inspired me to wear pants. Lots of butts. But, I manage.

UTB: Did you add this venue to foursquare just to collect more mayorships? It's so lame when people do that. D.T.: No idea who created the location. Earned it fair and square.

UTB: What is your relationship with the mayor of Pottruck? Do you have full autonomy or are certain municipal powers in his hands? Are there ever power struggles? D.T.: He's the Stalin to my Lenin. We get along just fine.

UTB: Do you ever see more people check-in than there are showers? D.T.: There are more people there sometimes than there are showers. Gets crowded.

UTB: How do you balance this mayorship with Saxby's, Starbucks, and the ARCH? Do Saxby's and Starbucks ever get annoyed that you are mayor of competing enterprises? D.T.: I like to rule with what they call "an iron fist." I own a whip. The chains are rentals. Saxby's and Starbucks are mostly chill because I can single handedly keep them both in business with my coffee addiction. However, ruling the ARCH and Pottruck Shower can get awkward, only because there are lots of old Asians in both territories and I tend to confuse them.
