Thoroughly enjoyable read. I could be in trouble soon. There’s plenty of Department56 locations near my home. 👀

In case you weren't aware, I'm a total Halloween weirdo and I got to write about it for @theflytrapmedia.com!

Inside the Tiny, Weird World of Halloween ‘Villaging'

As part of this Boomer-coded subculture, two companies vie for the attention of weirdos like me, who prefer to spend their time—and money—constructing small, spooky landscapes.

My #department56 village setup for the year. I went with a more city theme this year and got out the baseball stadiums. This is just a tenth of the collection and I rotate houses every year. #christmasvillage

Chris Storer - Computer Tech Expert. (Definitely Not the Creator of The Bear)

Chris Storer. Over the years, I have been fairly successful at guessing the email addresses of some folks. I wanted to interview Christopher Storer, creator of The Bear television series. So, I used my email magic, and guess what.... I got a different Christopher Storer! Confusion was had; fun ensued. Chris and I thought it would be a fun twist to go forward with the interview anyway. This episode is with Chris Storer, "just a regular guy, living in a no name town in Kentucky". In this episode, we discuss how he became a computer guru at an early age. Chris discovered his love and knack for computer tech stuff before he was even a teenager. With the encouragement of his brother, Chris decided to write a computer program for a very specific niche of figurine collector, and then he and his mother traveled the country selling this program to these collectors. Next, Chris and I talk a little bit about The Bear television series, and some of the fun that has come about due to the mistaken identity of it all. Alas, I am not the first to confuse them! Then we get into the importance of a work / life balance, and how the passion that he followed when he was 12, manifested into a lifelong career in tech. From steel factories to book warehouses; Chris has made a wonderful living and fulfilling life stemming from this early computer interest. Lastly, we discuss Chris' brother-in-law (comedian Josh Sneed) who convinced Chris to do the interview as himself, the next time someone reached out. I and a lot of fun speaking with Chris, he has a great sense of humor and an easy-going storytelling style. Thanks again, Chris.
