We picked superstar Bret Michaels brain about his solo career, fave foods, and more!

What's your favorite Bay Area music venue?
I like the Fox Theater, it has been a few years since we have been there.

What's your favorite food truck item?
I like a good old street taco.

What is the biggest difference for you between your solo act and with Poison?
Let me start with what isn’t the difference. My energy and passion are the same. That is the exact same. I never go out there any (differently) when I walk on that stage. I feel blessed and excited at the same time, like, “This is what I live to do.” This is what I love to do. That doesn’t change.

When is your wedding? 
I can’t give an answer on that. This will remain possibly the longest engagement in the history of mankind. I am not trying to break any records but I think I am right on my way of doing it.

Are you an adventurous eater? Anything you wouldn't try?
Unfortunately, being a diabetic my whole life has kept my from being over adventurous, I’m up for trying anything as long as it won’t affect my blood sugar negatively, but even then sometimes you just have to take a chance.
