Matt Connarton Unleashed: Midnight Creatives Collective and Terminus Underground

0:00 Speaker 1: That is Beach Zombies.

0:02 Speaker 2: The band is Dead Harrison and we are playing that for a specific reason which we'll get to in a moment.

0:07 Speaker 1: But welcome everybody.

0:08 Speaker 2: This is the third hour of Matt Connorton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m n H ninety five point three FM in Glorious Manchester, New Hampshire on Canal Street. Today is Saturday, August third, twenty twenty four. Jenny is here of course at the news table. Yes, yes, and we have three very special guests with us, of course, uh Eleanor and SPELFI and Andre from the and I always say it wrong, the Midnight Creatives Collective.

0:37 Speaker 1: Did I get it right?

0:38 Speaker 3: Yes, that's okay. If you call us creatures, I don't know.

0:41 Speaker 1: Is there a Facebook group with creatures in it? Is that why I'm confusing it?

0:45 Speaker 3: Well, there might be, there might be.

0:49 Speaker 2: So welcome and of course Andre also in the band Dead Harrison. So we were looking for a song to play, and Beach Zombies was suggested, and.

0:57 Speaker 1: We should talk about why, why why? Why?

1:01 Speaker 3: Why?

1:02 Speaker 1: Why is beach Zombies relevant?

1:04 Speaker 4: Why is because tonight we have a cool little thing happening at Terminus underground where we're doing a little film feature and I got a band playing that's got a little Walking Dead theme going on. To the vegans, the vegans, thegans might be vegan, there might be vegan.

1:29 Speaker 1: A lot of musicians or vegans these days.

1:31 Speaker 4: Well, you got to have that healthy lifestyle.

1:33 Speaker 1: That's right.

1:34 Speaker 4: So they're called the vegans, theans n e g. A. M.

1:38 Speaker 3: Yes, like Megan and the Walking Dead show, you know, the one with.

1:42 Speaker 2: See I've never I've never seen an episode of The Walking Dead, so I don't know who this Megan is.

1:47 Speaker 3: Megan character is very interesting anti hero.

1:52 Speaker 1: Oh why why an anti hero is uh? Megan?

1:57 Speaker 4: U think versial in some way? Yeah, kind of probably to an extent. He liked the use of violence to get the ends and the means done. But yeah, I mean it's basically the way that it turns out is like they're both just two separate groups that are figuring out how to operate and run in the new world after, you know, post zombie apocalypse, and they just have their own ways of doing things. And there was a little confrontation that happened between the two groups, and a lot of bad things happened, and a lot of and then things kind of took a turn a little bit.

2:41 Speaker 3: But if you're not familiar with the Walking Dead kind of storyline, you wouldn't know that Terminus is also part of that. So Terminus Underground was a place of sanctuary. Oh, people started to escape the zombie apocalypse.

2:57 Speaker 4: But it wasn't a place of stuary.

3:00 Speaker 3: There that if you didn't follow all their rules, you would end up in a bus and they would eat you and serve you to the rest of the commun Ah. All right, we're not going to do that.

3:12 Speaker 5: We do have a resident cannibal though.

3:14 Speaker 1: Agree you do.

3:17 Speaker 3: Terrifying he's a leather worker.

3:19 Speaker 2: Oh all right, so stay away from him if he's hungry and when he's angry. So what exactly is going on tonight? I mean, so you're filming video with zombies or what.

3:33 Speaker 3: We we have our first movie night, So we're actually combining music and movie this tonight for a film premiere and it's a Silent Hill parody with puppets.

3:46 Speaker 1: Oh okay.

3:47 Speaker 3: So our friend Ryan Lockhart is the filmmaker and the performer, and she has created this entire film based on her series of gameplay Foul, which is what it's called very popular YouTube gamer series where she goes through and does gameplay with her puppet and the Silent Hell back job.

4:07 Speaker 5: Okay, so it's for that's for it's different games per episode.

4:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, different games, but that's kind of the concept. And she's created this whole one hour long movie as her coming out experience as a trans woman. So we're supporting her film as an art and she's also performing. She's an amazing rapper and going to be doing several performances of some rap battle songs and yeah, so that's part of it. And we also have the Megan's Gonna play too, so punk rock punk har kind of night. Okay, yeah, so grab your popcorn and candy and come over.

4:47 Speaker 1: We gotta get So. So she what's her name again?

4:50 Speaker 3: The filmmaker is Ryan Lockhart. Yeah, she's on IMDb.

4:54 Speaker 1: Got she's got a fascinating story.

4:58 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, she's an amaz amazingly fascinating woman.

5:01 Speaker 3: She's also an educator and an activist and she's just a really like, just very wonderful person altogether.

5:09 Speaker 1: Yeah.

5:10 Speaker 5: I absolutely suggest getting her on the show.

5:12 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, she sounds fascinating. Has she done other things? Do you know with puppets? Involving puppets or is this like yes?

5:21 Speaker 3: So she does it mainly on her YouTube channel, and this is going to be the first time she's presenting a live presentation. She doesn't have the puppets tonight because they're very like they're constructed very like Hollywood standards, so they're very important. Yeah, she doesn't have any road puppets. Oh, but it'll just be her and her amazing energy and performance aret. So I think you, guys, if you could come and make it out, anyone can come. It's ten dollars suggested donation. Normally we do a fifteen dollars cover, but this is something different we're trying.

5:53 Speaker 3: So I think it's going to be fun.

5:55 Speaker 2: Now do the Megans are Why why them or did it just work out that way or do they have some sort of connection to the whole.

6:04 Speaker 5: There's there's a big connection. Jimmy from the Megans and Ryan are besties. Okay, So Jimmy uh does extra on Ryan's show on it on a regular basis on her show, and he does videos with her and stuff too.

6:23 Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, very cool.

6:25 Speaker 3: Have you ever seen Jimmy Organs before? I don't think so, you're should be in for a treat. Very very fun. Yeah, very high energy. It's you know, kind of old rock, old rock punk, you know. Okay, so there's a lot of woes and yeah jumping around.

6:43 Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, very cool, very cool.

6:46 Speaker 2: We should talk about to uh, you know, Jenny and I were there the other night because she's got her art there amazing. It's like, you're, oh wow, you're like way in the corner over there.

7:00 Speaker 3: Now you're on the spotlight. Jenny. I'm like, I'm literally to stay out of it.

7:05 Speaker 1: Literally, I'm like, where'd she go?

7:07 Speaker 3: Your video that I posted with all your art got eighty three views? Oh wow, that's that's organic views. That means eighty three people were looking at that little show. And what we mentioned on that clip was that Jenny is a healthcare advocate. That's very important to people knowing how our healthcare industry is not advocating for us.

7:31 Speaker 6: Right right, So imagine that trying to get healthcare to be healthcare.

7:35 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, imagine the care and quotations.

7:39 Speaker 6: Yeah, that comes out a lot in the art too, and especially in the collection that you guys have for like my darkest pieces, those.

7:47 Speaker 3: Dark pieces are dark, Yeah, like those things of nightmares.

7:52 Speaker 1: Yeah.

7:52 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, my daughter loves them though, she's like, this is like the back rooms.

7:58 Speaker 1: No kidding, no kidding.

8:00 Speaker 3: Oh that's crazy, very cool.

8:02 Speaker 1: Yeah.

8:02 Speaker 2: Now is that something you do every month? Every month you have feature a different artists or yeah, how does that work?

8:08 Speaker 1: Like how do you.

8:11 Speaker 2: Do people submit? Or what's what's the process like for deciding?

8:15 Speaker 3: It's pretty loose right now. You know, we have had people that have asked us, We have had people that we've sought out, people that just are like, yep, I'm putting my art on your wall. This is the coolest thing ever. Because we do an eighty twenty split consignment if it's something sells, and we do a number of promotional things to get the art scene and recognize not only through the Terminus shows and you know our open house every Tuesday where people can come. We allow the artists to set up their own gallery showing.

8:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know they can do basically whatever they want. They can teach art classes, they can you know, have a reception, they can auction off their art at the Terminus. Yea, So there's a lot of opportunities.

8:56 Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent. Yeah, we should also talk to more broadly.

9:00 Speaker 2: About what what you do at the Midnight Creatives Collective, because you know, we have a lot.

9:06 Speaker 1: Of musicians who listen to the show.

9:08 Speaker 3: Hi musicians, we want yeah.

9:10 Speaker 2: Talk about that, talk about what you do with with musicians.

9:15 Speaker 5: And in terms of promotion, we do a lot of different things, but one of the main things that we do is we run underground music live music a few times a month in a little place that we call Terminus, and that's Andre's a little spot there that he graciously opens up for us living room style for us to be able to put on shows.

9:39 Speaker 1: But oh yeah, go ahead.

9:41 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know we open up the business bar, which is Eleanor Space and the bar quotation bar. No alcohol served, so yeah, but BYO B stuff like that. And then I've got the green room for the musicians and yeah, we treat our bands like family.

10:07 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're very hospitable. Are key Like the key phrase if you were to put us in an SEO search would be hospitality. And that's We've had over sixty bands since we started perform at Terminus over the last six months, and every single one of them says, oh my god, thank you, we cannot believe you. A pay the bands every time, serve them dinner food when they're there, bell a fridge filled with their favorite beverages, and they have just a genuinely good time being so intimate in this environment with their fans.

10:40 Speaker 3: Knowing that energy is like being built in a small space. But it's really ideally what everyone seems to be wanting these days. Yeah, it's really nice to be able to do that.

10:52 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think. I think the end goal of it is like to also try and provide a place for musicians to be working with other musicians that for new ideas, seasoned people learning the craft of not just like the the performance section of things, but also the behind the scenes, Like if you want to do things to push out farther, like, these are the things that you have to start taking care of yourself with and like whether it's signing up and being a member of ASKAP or BMI, there's little things that can help benefit you to like really make it into something that now it's not just you know, being a garage band anymore.

11:42 Speaker 4: You're trying to push yourself to an actual professional place. And that's what we're trying to do here is to like take the craft seriously. Don't just don't listen to everybody else. That's just like musicians are just like you.

11:56 Speaker 3: Know, or that the scene isn't united. I don't like hearing that, because you know how to unite it. It is about, you know, doing what we're doing and inviting and welcoming as many people in the underground scene that we can take part. So this is you know, where the community is actually happening. And there's other places too, like other collectives have started to pop up, which is really awesome, and we like to collaborate with just about everybody. Yeah, because we're all about, like you know, seeing it as a future perspective, like you know, we're going to be those boomers again, I mean not again, but eventually.

12:32 Speaker 3: And so who are we teaching and what are we teaching for the next people to you know, be able to rock and roll and keep rock and roll alive.

12:39 Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's basically set up like a nice little membership like you would have a gym membership or something, but you get to come in and work with people you have, you have a place to come and do things that kind of like separate you from the world and like sometimes you try to do the stuff at home, but there's always a distraction. Yea, this gives you a place to actually go and work on your craft. Yeah, work on the behind the scenes, bring your laptop, hook up to internet, make pictures and pages and set things up.

13:11 Speaker 4: Work on a website. Have somebody that can help you work on a website to get things going, and what's my next step? You know, the place to have those little conversations that so yeah, and I mean and even with Terminus, like I want to use it as a place where there's Katie Red who is a sound person that has been working with us and does a great job. And we were just having a discussion of having a class for bands to come in so that they can learn how to communicate with the sound person what they need on stage, so that they can get past the things of I got to deal with the grumpy sound guy.

13:53 Speaker 4: Well, if you spoke the language and you understand what a sound person is trying to understand, you would be able to increase your performance because you were able to communicate the things that you needed to sound good for yourself on stage.

14:09 Speaker 1: That is a fantastic idea.

14:12 Speaker 4: It things like that.

14:15 Speaker 2: Now that specifically though, is because nobody I don't know if there's a course at Berkeley where they I don't think so, where they teach out.

14:23 Speaker 1: How to deal with the sound guy. But I mean level but right, that's what. Yeah, that's the thing, because yeah, that's that's.

14:30 Speaker 3: The textbook stuff at well that's.

14:33 Speaker 2: What i'm But that's what I mean though, like, actually, you know, because you have to. It's not so much the technical stuff when you're dealing with a sound guy at a club. It's you know, the personality aspects of it that that can come into play. And there's a fly in here, that's unusual, but uh, probably because we were talking about zombies.

14:54 Speaker 4: Some of the rotten made it with us our reputations.

15:02 Speaker 2: I heard somebody on the morning show the other day saying there was a fly in here, so it must be the same fly. I've never seen a fly in here. But no, I think that's that's a fantastic idea. I don't know anybody around here who's doing anything like that.

15:15 Speaker 3: We're doing lots of things no one else has even thought of. I went into a women's empowerment group for women's CEOs this last week and I tried to do it elevator pitch for what all we do and it really I don't have a short way of saying any of what we do because we do a lot, but it's all like really beneficial stuff, Like it's next level stuff. So it's like we've got the School of Rock in Nashua now and they're teaching all the young kids, and I feel like we're just that next extension that.

15:49 Speaker 2: No, that makes sense too, yeah, because you know, obviously,

15:56 Speaker 2: you know, especially for people, I mean there's probably a lot of musicians around who you know, yeah, they're not gonna they're not gonna go enroll at the School of Rock, but they but there's.

16:07 Speaker 1: Things that they they need to know.

16:09 Speaker 2: That maybe part of the challenge, though, I would imagine is there's a lot of musicians who don't know that there's things that they need to know, you know what I mean.

16:18 Speaker 4: And that's the and that's the thing is trying to you know, pass that information along that people aren't thinking about, right. And it's like, you know, she threw me in and made me do a class a couple of weeks ago to be like I'm gonna make a class. You're gonna teach some people how to like learn to run our soundboard and it but it also like put a thing like for musicians to learn how to actually like work a soundboard to the things to look at to like whether it's setting up monitors and setting up stage things and and having levels and where to look at in your EQ settings.

16:55 Speaker 4: And there's a lot of little things that it only makes your craft that much better that you know these little behind the scene things, because that's going to help you just dial in what you're looking for, like say your sound.

17:13 Speaker 2: And if you have a better understanding of what the sound person goes through exactly.

17:17 Speaker 3: And we have a very you know, it's not a club that we have. It's a private space where we open it up. It's not very big. I mean it's bigger than the studio, but we have specific like sound needs for that room. So it's really nice to be able to, you know, teach people how to hone in the sound even in a small space and make it sound phenomenal.

17:38 Speaker 2: Well, what I tell everybody, I'm sure you've heard me say it is when you walk into terminus.

17:42 Speaker 1: I still remember walking in there the first time. It's like another world.

17:45 Speaker 3: Even better now. Andrea just tweaked some things.

17:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I had no idea about the whole with is the Walking Dead. Yep, I don't know any of these zombie things. But I had no idea about that part of it. But even just not knowing that, like just walking into that room, it's like, wow.

18:00 Speaker 3: There will be no zombies tonight. Yeah, if anyone's scared, Yeah, zombies are bad.

18:07 Speaker 4: But I may have to add a couple of skeletons in the ceiling.

18:11 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, there you go.

18:13 Speaker 2: Well, you know, earlier we had on Dylan Reynolds, who has this EP called radiation sickness, and it's about like like one of the songs is about Chernobyl and it's all about you know, these things that can But it sounded like he's in a zombies too. He mentioned a video game. Did he mentioned a video game that involves zombies.

18:30 Speaker 1: She's over there in the corner. But h yes, I hear what's up?

18:36 Speaker 3: Yes, I heard you?

18:36 Speaker 1: With the zombies? Okay, yes, yes.

18:40 Speaker 3: There's a lot of video games with the zombies. Silent Hill was one of the first, I think, right.

18:45 Speaker 4: No, it wasn't particularly as zombie, it was I don't I don't know. I didn't play the game.

18:53 Speaker 1: He mentioned he mentioned a video game see I've never seen any of those.

18:57 Speaker 4: It's like just weird dark, it's curious.

19:02 Speaker 3: Yeah, when we agreed to do the video or the movie and we had to preview what it was about because we weren't too familiar with the Silent Hill brand. Yeah, the movie, yeah, I'm glad you are. I was silent part of the movie.

19:15 Speaker 5: But yeah, the video game was great.

19:18 Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, we were talking about that with Dylan too, the video games and see, I'm not a I'm completely like, I'm not a gamer at all. I I the last time, it's probably been twenty years since I played a video game. But the reason I've always avoided it since because the last time I played a video game, I was at a friend's house. They actually fell asleep.

19:36 Speaker 1: It was late.

19:37 Speaker 2: I think I started playing the game at like nine pm, and next thing I know, four hours has gone by. I'm looking at the clock at one am. And I made a decision in that moment, I said, because I've been you know, when I was a kid, I'd spent hours in front of the game system, and I just made a decision in that moment, I put that controller down and I said, I'm never doing this again, and I haven't. I haven't picked up a game controller since it's just so psychologically addictive, you.

19:58 Speaker 3: Know, addictive, and then you start to get angry, like I only play the Witcher and sometimes I'm like in the middle and I feel myself with that, like I'm like, I gotta I gotta quit. I don't want this. Yeah, but we have a lot of gamer musicians in the community, Like you guys just had mister Goodbars and he does gaming. Axel Bailey does gaming, the drummer of Dead Harrison, and there's a lot of gamers. So I kind of think that this is a cool niche because we're appealing to both movie nerds and gaming.

20:24 Speaker 1: Yeah.

20:24 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the trunks and you know, just a really cool vibe that is going to be tonight.

20:29 Speaker 1: Yeah.

20:30 Speaker 2: Now, at the at the collective, there's because you're you're talking about some of the information and education of musicians. You've got like levels, right, You've got like memberships people can sign up for.

20:44 Speaker 3: We have several different memberships. So just the Midnight Creatives Collective has three membership levels, Patron being the one that gives you access to come in and co work with us as artists or you know whatever. You're working on. We have writers to musicians, so anybody could co work in a positive environment. That just is twenty five dollars a month and you can come in anytime that we're open, which is Tuesdays from six pm to eleven pm right now. But we are starting to think about expansion, yeah.

21:17 Speaker 4: Yeah, because as more people start understanding what's going on, you know.

21:22 Speaker 3: And then the next level is the rock star member, which we have two rock star members right now at artists who's a painter and her name is my art by kf Keagan Fitzgerald. And we have a writer her name is Ellie Beach. She's an author and she does poetry and she also does cosplaying under Aowen of the Shire. So those our two rock star members. And then we have a VIP level membership which covers everything and where I can use my skills learned as a music business manager and you know, teach them how to basically start from the top, I mean from the bottom and make it to the top with like their evks and their web presence and you know, doing album covers and designing like logos for them and then getting them into video and media and signing them up for the music pros like vm I and ASCAP.

22:13 Speaker 3: So that's what I do at that VIP level. And we have one musician that I also manage. His name is Rick Everhart and his band is called Six Minds Combined. It's a modern hip hop band. It's a a lot of hip hop band. He wraps and he likes to partner with tjs and other musicians and do like, you know, cooperative things. So his first album's coming out and I'm helping him produce the album cover and the booklet, and mister Goodbars at the Toy Box Studio did all the production on the album itself. It's called Issue zero Cool Six Minds Combined.

22:50 Speaker 3: Oh okay, you have to keep your eye out for that one. But yeah, we'd love to have more VIP members, people who want to you know, grow their band as a business and want to reach that next level in their careers. It's for real people who have a lot of get up and go. If I had to say anything, Dead Harrison was basically my model for this. So everything I did to get Dead Harrison to the level they are now I can use as a like an accomplishment and repeat it.

23:16 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh oh that's excellent.

23:18 Speaker 3: I mean I did it with my own band back in the day, so it's you know, kind of just the logical steps of growing a business at this point.

23:25 Speaker 1: Yep, yep.

23:26 Speaker 3: So those are the three levels, and then if you want Terminus membership, we have kind of two different levels there. We have the regular entry level which is twenty dollars a month. Oh no, sorry, fifteen dollars a month, and then you get discounted tickets for Terminus or if you want our VI Pizza membership which includes pizza with the bands, that's twenty dollars a month, and then you get discounted tickets at the door.

23:49 Speaker 2: By the way, did I hear you correctly? Did you say that guy's name was Rick Everhard?

23:53 Speaker 3: Yes?

23:53 Speaker 2: It is Rick Everhard, the eleven year old boy, and me loves that.

23:58 Speaker 3: Yes. I asked him the first time I knew his name, I was like, is that your real real name?

24:04 Speaker 1: And he's like, yes, that's awesome.

24:06 Speaker 3: And his middle name I can't remember it, but it makes it even better.

24:12 Speaker 4: Well, he loves it.

24:13 Speaker 1: Though, shout out to Rick Everhard.

24:15 Speaker 5: It's not short for Richard either, It's Frederick.

24:19 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, Oh wow, oh boy.

24:24 Speaker 1: So spellfee.

24:25 Speaker 2: I don't know much about your background. How did you get involved in all of this? And I don't did you already? Have you known Eleanor and Andre for a long time?

24:33 Speaker 5: I met Eleanor and Andre six years ago, a little bit more than six years ago, and we became friends really quickly. We got close really quickly, and I was in Nashua for a little bit, moved down to Massachusetts, and the two of them were two of the only people who came and visited me after removed. Yeah, they're two of my best friends. And so after the passing of our friends Steve last year, we got together and we were talking about dreams and ideas that we had, and then I realized that we had a lot of the same ideas, a lot of the same dreams and goals and plans of things that we wanted to do.

25:19 Speaker 5: So we decided to just combine forces and do it together.

25:26 Speaker 2: Did you all? Well, let me ask you the story. Are you a musician? Are you an artist?

25:30 Speaker 1: Or you like? What what do you do?

25:32 Speaker 5: I sing, but I'm not in a band. I'm oh, okay, I'm a chicken ship, but I am working on a starting a project.

25:38 Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry about that, That's okay.

25:46 Speaker 5: But yeah, I've I've got a big passion for music. I grew up music. I came out of the wombs singing practically. According to my parents, they they don't like to agree on much, but one of the things that they agree on is that I started singing before I started talking. So I've always loved music, always had a passion for music. I've been asked what the meaning to life was, and I just say music. Without it, there's no point. Everything is a wave. Everything vibrates. Some waves you can see, some you can hear, yeah, and some you can feel.

26:27 Speaker 5: And just when you get good live music and you just close your eyes and you can feel the waves, the vibration. You're in a crowd of people and you can feel the energy coming off of all of those people who are also feeling the same vibrational energy that you are.

26:45 Speaker 1: It's a good way of describing it. Yeah, it's magic.

26:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, magic instincts when it comes to music too. She knows what bands go with what on a bill. She's got really solid because of how she feels.

26:59 Speaker 1: Yeah.

27:00 Speaker 5: I literally I just feel the music. Yeah, And I don't just listen.

27:03 Speaker 2: I feel yeah, and you mentioned so you sing, but you're not. Have you been in a band?

27:11 Speaker 5: I have, I've I did like band classes, I did chorus classes and all that stuff. Growing up. I grew up my dad's very religious. I grew up in the church. I grew up in children's choir and stuff like that. Very sour to organized religion. So I no longer do that. But that was the one thing that I enjoyed about church was singing.

27:33 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. A lot of musicians that's how they that's how they start out learning to sing. Is I shouldn't say a lot, but I've just heard a lot of a lot of people who don't aren't particularly religious, but they but because they came from a religious background, that's something that they did get out of it, at least, you know, an exposure to to singing in choirs and choruses and all that kind of stuff.

27:57 Speaker 5: Yeah, according to my parents. Six months old, I started singing Jesus Loves Me with my dad. And then the first thing that I said I kind of egotistical, but at the same time not because it wasn't just the word I it was a whole phrase. I told my dad I love him I said, I love you. So I guess the story is is my mom would put me and my little baby swaying in front of the door. My dad would come home from work and the first thing he would do is put his stuff down and say I love you. And so he walked in the door in the first thing I said, I love you.

38:10 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah kind of like all.

38:15 Speaker 5: Right, cool. So I talked to these two heroes like, yeah, why don't we put on a movie nighted Terminus and show movies made by people that we know.

38:26 Speaker 1: Yeah.

38:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, And we had gotten a couple of people who are filmmakers interested early on and they came by the open house. One of them was Matt Martino, who's done some be horror films with our friend and resident cannibal Greek Abdon, so we had him come by a couple of times. And then Rod Weber, who is the documentary filmmaker for Vermin Supreme. Oh yeah, so we started talking about, you know, yeah, that there could be a possibility to work with film people here too, given the space. And this is the first time we're trying, and I think it's gonna be awesome.

39:06 Speaker 1: Yeah are you are you doing something with Vermin Supreme or or.

39:13 Speaker 3: Every time he comes to New Hampshire. Our house is literally his campaign house at Sporters, so yeah, whenever he comes here, if he comes with his ponies, they're in our yard. In Nashua. Last year he came and did like the Holidays stroll with us and the ponies. It was our first introduction to it. And then you know, I'll be doing something with him if he wants to tour New England. So yeah, I think something might happen in September, but it's still up.

39:44 Speaker 1: In the air. He actually brings ponies sometimes, Yep, he does. I didn't realize.

39:50 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like these many many Shetland ponies, really cute.

39:57 Speaker 1: How does he so? He transports them here in a truck.

40:02 Speaker 3: Yeah, they have friends, they have friends trailer. Yeah it's oh you know they're from a farm and these are friends and colleagues of Vermin's. Yeah, donate the ponies.

40:13 Speaker 1: Wow, I know, it is so cool. I love Vermin.

40:15 Speaker 2: I've interviewed him a few times. Actually, I think Jenny had introduced me to him originally, but but yeah, I've interviewed him a few times over the years. And no, very very fun, very fascinating. And I didn't realize though, he actually travels sometimes with actual ponies. I mean, talk about committing of the bit. Wow, you know what I mean.

40:34 Speaker 3: I never really knew what kind of ponies, and I in my mind, I was thinking, like just the regular sized ponies, but these are little mini ones. I think it's probably much easier to transport them.

40:44 Speaker 1: Probably probably Wow, that's wild.

40:47 Speaker 3: But I imagine my surprise when I looked out my window and saw ponies grazing in my yard.

40:52 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, starstruck. Yeah, I can imagine.

40:55 Speaker 3: I do get starstruck. Even though I've been in this industry since nineteen ninety nine, I still get starstruck. And it's mostly weirdly by political people I'm like, but even stars, like even musicians. Sometimes. I got to meet my favorite band Ghara recently. They came and played Terminus I h Okay and they're here from They're in Manchester. They're a melodic post metal band with huge, huge cabs and amps. And I was introduced to them in the winter. Andrea's friend John introduced them to us and I wrote to them.
