[QUOTE="skatalite, post: 2320541, member: 6808"] I absolutely know who you're talking about, haha. I've been friends with him since high school. I was in a Norman-based punk/ska band, too, so we played a lot of shows together. His wife and I went to high school together as well. I was at OPUBCO for a short while when he left to head west. James D is one of the guys I've gotten to work closely with the past couple of months. I love that guy. He's a smart dude and super nice. Sorry to hear about the Wimgo situation. I never knew (and still don't know) the whole 411 on that deal but I remember it just failing. I guess that goes in-line with what you were saying. As you know, Thompson left a short while ago, OPUBCO sold to Philip Anschutz and we're set for a move back to downtown by this time next year. Lots of changes in the five years I've been there. I've seen a lot of great people leave for one reason or another, but there are still some great people working there. The youth are moving in, so I try to cultivate friendships with those coworkers as well as with some older "dinosaurs" to pick up some tips and tricks. You know, preparing for the future and all.
