    This reminds me of a mushroom trip. But instead its fishing. The uncomfortableness of the cold, the non-necessity of the whole thing, but the commitment and optimism of the situation. Fumbling for snacks, awkward silences the whole thing

      Yes! Visiting all the indie video stores, striking out because invariably there was only ever one copy. On that note, I'm convinced there is only one copy in existence and all the stores passed it around and shared it, lol. Anyway, I finally had to get a friend to mail the series to me from across the country. All part of the fun, right?
