DAMN!!!! I want to do this!!
But I'm in SD, so my loss.
Will you still do this after the holidays, or is this a time sensitive project?
4 out of 5 Drews want to know. The 5th one is Tern and he's not around, so he doesn't care.

meh meh meh muh muh sheesh.
the creative process of candy cane is just tequila (or fuzzbeast's brandy that he left a couple days ago), a camera, a light and a lot of mumblings and tumblings until i accidently hit the shutter button when nobodies paying attention, and get the photo that seems to work, but is nothing like what i intended it to be.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON.
I know one of you wants to be immortalized on a crankmob spoke card.
i know it.
i mean, if it was ME, reading this as one of YOU, id be all over this like stank on shit.

Rethink everything you learn IN high school, embrace everything you learn outside of school.

can we do this more often?
(i think the answer is yes)
i honestly think im not ready for a show yet.
