Some melt, for your face...

I'm the founder of a CE startup based out of Toronto, Canada. Due to the nature of our products, when looking for our first office space it was important that whatever space we ended up leasing was noise friendly. I have a small project studio that had just started picking up steam and attracting some cool bands. So one day I was at the studio bitching about the cost of noise friendly space that you could actually bring a prospective client to, and a conversation followed from a couple of members of a band that was recording that day. Turned out that they were taking care of a free standing one story building for a family friend that was attached to a graveyard. Actually it's where the tomb stones used to get made (DUN DUN DUN). Anyway, they brought me over to check it out and it was perfect. I asked them how much, they speculated on a price (which was very reasonable, below market at the time) so I told them if they could get me into the space for the price they were suggesting I'd let them stay in the upstairs loft space in exchange for helping out with the utility bills. Win win. The deal went through, so now my start up has a fantastic office space, and an in house rock band(aweeesome). It's been a really interesting experience as we've both been hurtling towards our respective launches, it's amazing how much cross over there's been with regards to product launch even though the product is so completely different. Back to the title; some melt, for your face. I was speaking with Dave today (lead vocals/songwriter) and he told me that they've been working hard on a "home movie" project. I was around the day it was being filmed but wasn't really sure what the content was supposed to be used for. I just watched it and I thought it would be a great first contribution to HN. Generally speaking I'm a lurker but I promised myself to start contributing more to the communities I gain the most from. So, enjoy some good ol' Canadian rock n' roll on this fine summer day. http://www.thegoldendogs.com/
