Story by Ray Seidel, photos courtesy of FX We catch up with the cast for some Q&A at PaleyFest for an off-season update. On hand are series creator Kurt Sutter (Otto), Katey Sagal (Gemma), Theo Rossi (Juice), Tommy Flanagan (Chibs), Dayton Callie (Chief Unser), David “DL” Labrava (Happy), Michael Ornstein (Chucky), and Emilio Rivera (Alvarez). Q: Kurt, how did you get started with SONS OF ANARCHY?

By Linda Dahl, Pics By Pete Alva Most journalists have their dream interview. If I were asked “dead or alive”, mine starts with Princess Diana. But, Jay Leno has always been very high on my list. I have admired his history, his garage, his drive and his personality. I love his show and his cast (especially Kevin). When the opportunity came to scratch one off my list, I knew Princess Di was out of the question. So, when I got the chance to interview Jay Leno, I melted in my Harley boots. I ran into Ron Bermudez at the Love...
Interview by Mike Dalgaard, Northwest Editor & Diana Olmstead, Northwest Associate Editor During a recent “105th Ride Home” kick-off party we were given a rare opportunity to sit down and play 20+ questions with Ron “Hutch” Hutchinson who as noted above is the Senior VP of Product Development for Harley-Davidson.

It’s hard to keep up with Bob. I followed him around a bit after he, as main sponsor, gave out the last of the AHDRA Drag National Awards back in November at CA Bike Week, and he was dropping ME off at...
By Lisa D. I spoke to Gregory, as his friends call him, on a Thursday afternoon in October. While eating his Georgia peach cobbler, he was proudly telling me about his home on the Georgia bayou and his newest home in Mississippi. He’s a southern gentleman who says he met his soul mate Stacy Fountain 12 years ago and she looks just like Scarlet O’Hara. Now, I know what you’re thinking, Gregg Allman, a southern gentleman? One of the kings of Southern Rock who’s music is synonymous with the freedom and rebellious attitude of the 70’s era? But I quickly...
