	[ Posted by papalpetrolproductions on Nov 23rd, 2007 11:15 PM ]... I wouldn't go that far... Inflammatory and entertaining, perhaps... Good is negotiable. But hell, it worked for Don Hertzfeldt didn't it?
	[ Posted by LaurenMonardo on Nov 25th, 2007 12:42 PM ]... damn right it did! Rejected is what one might call a massive success, after all :)
	[ Posted by papalpetrolproductions on Nov 29th, 2007 12:57 AM ]... Bwahahaha, shit yeah! The brother gave me a lot of inspiration, I just took it more into the darkside. You do any cons in the midwest circuit?
	[ Posted by LaurenMonardo on Nov 30th, 2007 10:29 AM ]... not as of yet, but maybe one in the future :)
	[ Posted by papalpetrolproductions on Nov 30th, 2007 10:02 PM ]... Well, damn. It's pretty quiet rounds bout the twin cities. We got a couple o' low key cons... And I think there's some BS in Chicago at some point or another... If'n you ever wanna do Microcon or Fallcon you got free rent with the PPP crew. Keeps your cost low, yo.
	[ Posted by LaurenMonardo on Dec 2nd, 2007 11:39 PM ]... hey, thanks man :) I'll keep that in mind and tell the gang!
