The Midwest is a special place. Granted, it doesn’t have real mountains or the ocean or a film metropolis like New York or LA, but we love it. There’s a certain unpretentiousness, a genuineness, and a real drive to make up for all that isn’t here. We believe great things come out of the Midwest.

    I’ll be looking for you and your flick, Sujewa. Any chance you’ll be hitting the MI area?

    I generally don’t support giving a company your money so that you can wear one of their advertisements. However, I am a hypocrite in whose heart the Midwest holds a special place. So I submit this link to you in case that you’ve not seen it yet. If I were you I would buy this shirt. I’d even buy it if I weren’t you.

    Hey Paul,

    Re: MI, sure, why not. Send me some info. (whenever you come across it) on indie related happenings in MI, looking forward to finding out more about who’s doing what over there. Will add MI to my list of places to check out for playin’ the movie.
