...easygoing pair has a propensity for planning capers and getting into trouble. Take their ticket-scalping scheme for last year's Culture Rhythms: "We bought 50 or 70 tickets and released them slowly," Aaron explains with a laugh. "It worked like a charm and we charged whatever the market would bear. We even got e-mails this year asking for tickets," (Perhaps this explains this year's two ticket-per-person limit.) Their troubles now tend to be more dangerous. "We almost got shot in Central Square," Aaron recalls. "Whenever we go out, trouble just finds us." "Trouble finds...

...always been hard to predict. The group has, since its start, been drawn to the outrageous, but since all three members have a sort of charming, impish glow about them, they get away with things that groups with less charm and impishness would be castigated for.
