Meet Ryan Plato (Curator of the Impossible)
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Relaxing with a tall glass of Harkonnen Ale after a long day of harvesting spice.
What is your greatest fear?
In reverse order: Small spiders, medium-sized lizards, and extra-large bats (the flying variety, not the piece of equipment used in the popular American team sport of field hockey.)
Which living person do you most admire?
On the third Thursday of every month, around lunch time, there’s a hot dog vendor that sets up on the corner of 7th and whatever street that is where there’s a statue of a lady cradling a bouquet of flowers in her arms as though it’s a baby. Read the rest of this entry »

Meet Peter Batchelder (Musical Concierge, Court Composer, Audiophilanthropist)
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
I think it starts somewhere in the North of England, Lincolnshire or Norfolk perhaps, and involves me living alone in a stately home with very little to do.
What is your greatest fear?
Probably death. Being responsible for children. Centipedes.
Which living person do you most admire?
Christopher Hitchens.
Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
I’m not terribly prone to verbal repetition and I’m not one for mantras. Although I don’t think it rises to the level of “overuse”, I’m guessing I use a fair number of prepositions on a day to day basis.

dying before accomplishing something meaningful
Which living person do you most admire?
My Mom
Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
“Good Morning(afternoon), Independent.” “Whatever” “Yes, Barry?”
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
Impatience.
What do you dislike most about your appearance?
I wish I had a stronger jaw line. really. And maybe longer legs. Oh well.
Which living person do you most despise?
People that lie. And my wicked step-mother. A house totally fell on her sister and she’s pissed!

Meet Rob Due (Visual Magician)
I haven’t been inside a confessional for over twenty years, so pardon me if some of this sounds repentant.
I will gladly get a drink order started at 3 pm.
I love to cook and will take command of a stove / grill at any party.
I get some of my best ideas, while washing my hair.
Don’t be afraid to ask me to change something. I have pretty thick skin.
BUT, a well timed “Good job.” acts as a nice moisturizer.
I roll my eyes. A lot.
I don’t read often and have poor math skills. Sorry, Mom.
There are Republicans among us. Beware.
GO BEARS!!!!
Relax, it’s just a commercial. – We aren’t running into burning buildings to save lives.

We have them custom made (that’s called foley in the audio world) Crank the volume and listen to this rainstorm SFX!!
