Hiya! :) 2000 was a crazy year started a web dev agency building sites for actors, indie films for sundance, musicians I was 24, dot com bubble burst, a bunch of clients couldn't pay, and I thought it was a good idea to try something new Life was never the same! No idea was too crazy. lol Chaos was our ally there
