Nobody Can Ever Take This Away From Us
I put up all the old recordings I did way back when with Roller Chair Derby for the sake of archiving them. Help yourself if you're interested.
I put a little quote on there, which - egotistically enough - is myself. I remember saying that to our drummer (a few guys held that role, but John Carpenter really was the only one I ever thought of as our drummer) one night when having a pretty nasty difference of opinion on how I was going to divvy up the night's earnings. If memory serves me correctly, I was dishing a heavy hand to the Spitvalves, a visiting band among the otherwise-local roster. That isn't important though.
Even though our songs are perhaps listened to by a dozen or so people these days - and half of them ourselves - nobody really can ever take this away from us. What we did back then, playing shows, pinching money together to record these songs, it's ours, and these mp3's are a reminder of it.
Well, nothing poignant to say, really, and certainly not related to game design, but there you have it.

Joel,
I was experiencing a bit of nostalgia listening to the album and felt inclined to google the band. I found this. Remembering then and looking at now, what a difference life is. A long time has passed since we've shared words and memories. I hope that this chance encounter can make the difference. Feel free to email me at sxphnjosh@yahoo.com, aim-sxphnjosh, or call @ (772)240-8409.
Much Love Old Friend,
Josh
