Damon,
So what is it your doing now…if you’re allowed to tell?

As much as I hated working at the Farm, it literally took an offer to double my pay to pry me out of it. I still have a number of friends back there in IT. I just hope that my current gig working from home continues (almost the only way I could return to the Detroit area was to bring a job with me), because a return to Bloomington may be more than I could take.

@ Matt: The story I heard when I moved to Bloomington was every third person you see about town worked there or had a family member that did.

And Chopper, I will provide the nut punching if you are not inspired to do it…

Funny, I didn’t know what was meant by “the Farm” at first. I wondered if it were 1) a real farm or 2) the name of some obscure bar. But I caught up eventually.

And, Chopper, having a job at all these days is something to celebrate. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

@Damon: I work at the Farm. While I know for a fact it is a better place to work that the majority of other employers across this nation (I’ve worked for most of them as well), I can’t help wanting to punch myself in the nuts every day on the way in here. Weird. Also, absolutely thanks for listening, and more importantly to our egos, commenting!

Thanks for listening. And that’s a funny story. It is a small world, isn’t it?

Just to show how bizzarely small the world is, I came across your band listening to the Tokoyo Calling podcast while spending my last month in Chicago before returning home to Michigan after 8 years. What makes it truely bizzare is that most of those 8 years were spent in Bloomington working at the Farm. Looking forward to your new release and may even try to spread it to the Canadian side of the Detroit river.

We got a broken drummer.

Side is starting to hurt. I was expecting that, though.

Downloading right now….

And we gots a fat walking bass line (I did one)…. What we need is a guitar solo in the middle (which I’ll do if Chopper doesn’t).

Glad you aren’t feeling bad.
