Congratulations on another great year. I have some work to do just to finish listening to your last 2 day's output! Thanks again for the help with the file storage. Good news -I started a new gig today. Fawm was a great comfort to me this year. Its a lot easier without a job!.

shucks... look at all those comments you've got. i'm going to do FAWM+ for sure. might get a few keepers out of it. i think we should do a collab this year where YOU write the instrumental, and i'll write words and sing to it. or something else.

LET'S GO FAWMVETS! WHERE'S HOPPER?!?!?!

Hello to you sir! I'm glad we have this mid-winter festival to get us half-way to FAWMstock.

The 20 somethings of January hold so much promise. Also, there's nothing like the prospect of a new February to make a guy want to go dumpster diving and troll along the cluttered asles of Axman and Salvation Army.
Oops, gotta go....my craigslist hotline alert is ringing again. Looks like someone wants to trade a non-functioning casio keyboard for some plumbing or modeling work. How far away is Cannon Falls from here anyway?

What up dog.

Hey E, how goes it? Long time no speak. I'm going to have a tough time this year, i'm afraid. Short on gear and time, long story... I hope I can send you some collab ideas?

Thanks Eric! Even if I won't be able to write much, it always makes me smile to come back here to such a welcoming community. Do you have any plans for this year?
sacraficialglam 4 months ago

My reading of "Pince de Automatique" was closely followed by a spray of coffee all over my monitor. Glad you're back in the mix! (Both figuratively and literally.)
