I really like hearing how independent companies get started in the dream business. Very motivational. I've been, uh, UN-productive at Pauper's... that's as close as I get to a similarity. Can't wait for the second part. Wish I had been there! Critter Crunch was wicked fun! Man, that’s a great interview. I really like hearing how independent companies get started in the dream business.
