News Gangfight at Rain Man and DaFace headquarters - Page 3

**Rain Man** · 04-15-2015, 05:14 PM

We're sitting around working in our quiet office, and I keep hearing a lot of high-pitched yelling. Since we're near the state capitol we semi-frequently have protesters march by, maybe four or five times a year, so I figured it was either that or a big school field trip with a bunch of noisy kids.

So I rise up from the couch and, lo and behold, it's catfight city six floors below us. It was some big mass of teenage girls, and there were multiple fights going on. They're rolling in the streets and whaling on each other on the sidewalk. DaFace's windows point a different direction, so he saw the fights start, and I saw them after they were rolling.

There were no shootings and nobody lost any clothing, so that's probably all the news I've got. A police car rolled up and they all ran, probably 30 or 40 of them.

So what's the most exciting thing you saw at work today?

Definitely not the usual scenery outside the office.

I think I know which street....eastbound traffic?

Thanks, guys! I'm not sure because there are a lot of parameters to work out.

Also, and this is kind of a strange thing to admit and I don't want to come across as an arse (although I probably will), I haven't actually worked the past two years because of the baby and my wife's cancer, yet my music catalog has generated substantial income. Now that the two year old is in full time preschool and I have 7-8 hours a day to actually work again, I have a half a dozen meetings set up and I want to listen to what everyone has to offer before making any commitments.

My ultimate goal (well, as of today) is to score a limited run TV series and feature films on a regular basis. As anyone would probably guess, those gigs are hard to get and very few composers can meet the demands of writing 20-30 minutes of music per week for a TV show and/or compose an incredible score of anywhere from 60-90 minutes for a feature film. But, I *think* I can handle it, so it's just a matter of finding a production company or producer that believes it, too.

So, I guess the bottom line is that I want to leave my options open until they've been closed for me.

Thanks again!

PS - Thanks for allowing me to ramble. Often times, I open up Word and write to myself to think things through. Crazy, I know, but it's effective.

I feel really terrible about that, too. But in fairness, I wasn't raised in the video era. DaFace is the one who should have been immediately videoing.

How did DaFace end up working for such a tyrant again?

I've been wanting to start up a Youtube TV series. Would you be my musical composer guy?
