This was good...  Nice spooky touch...  IMO this experimental episode worked
:)

Will this be a portion of the story or will it be the whole thing?

A Rising Stars TV series or something else?

Thanks...what's astonishing is how many people we've heard from who actually
fell for the conceit of the episode and thought that what they were hearing was
real (I'm not making that up, both Brian and I have gotten emails from people
to that effect, saying we should have the problem fixed.)

That's what we're working out now.

Something else.
