Someone who frequents my bar.

That is awesome because it's somewhere between How dare you touch my child! and Step off! They help make up a quarter of my paycheck!

You're alright.

First off, thanks so much for sharing your story with us! Secondly, I do have a few questions.

  1. Does your condition not allow you to form callouses?

  2. Are your finger prints effected?

  3. Does your skin have trouble scabbing? That wouldn't be fun considering your open wounds.

  4. Do you find yourself wearing gloves and long sleeve shirts all the time? Do/would they help at all?

Thanks again!

First off, thank you for doing this AMA! I’ve seen ads for Costume Quest, but now knowing that you guys are involved I’ll definitely check it out. Second, like many others here my first exposure to your work was through OTGW, and I had a few questions regarding it:

  1. How were you selected to provide music for the show? Did Pat McHale know about you before hand or was this something you pursued?

  2. There’s such a range of genres covered in the OTGW soundtrack, from “Old Black Train” to “Tiny Star” to “The Fight Is Over” to “Forward, Oneiroi.” I was wondering what it was like working with so many styles for one project? Did you have to teach yourselves anything new or bring in other musicians for certain pieces? When will you produce an album that is exclusively 70s/80s vibes like “Tiny Star” and “The Fight Is Over”?

Thanks again for the fantastic work you’ve done. I have the OTGW album on vinyl and it is one of my prized possessions. Aaaaaaand if you ever get the chance you should totally tour the east coast! Maybe during autumn...looking forward to your future work!

This sounds crazy! Good luck on your kickstarter, by the way.

Anyways, I was wondering if you've ever heard of the Vandog Traveller? Was the work you did on your bus similar to what this guy did?

Wow, it’s wild that such a chance encounter like someone seeing you perform on the street can lead to such a perfect match between two groups of artists! I seriously cannot imagine anyone else providing the “soul” of McHale’s art like you guys did. And that’s SO GREAT TO HEAR! Even if it’s in a totally different style I’m eager to hear what the combo of artists behind Tiny Star will produce. Looking forward to it! I’ll keep an eye out on r/OverTheGardenWall
