Fortunately it was just a big understanding. I gave him a tour of Screen Novelties and then we went out for delicious hamburgers. Over lunch HS let me know it was the claymation movies that JPX and I did in high school that indirectly led to his career in film (after he and JSP were inspired to make shorts of their own). While I am touched by the compliment, my legal department tells me this inspiration is completely off the record; the proper paperwork was never filed and JPX and I cannot be held responsible for any incorrect artistic decisions that will be loosed upon that mass consciousness. It was good to find out the super 8 camera that we all used to spin our grainy dreams is gathering dust in stately Stan Manor in Barrington, not lost to the sands of time (i.e. Gary) as JPX and I had assumed.
Also, he bought me lunch. Thanks!

Awesome!!
That picture is gold I tells ya - gold! I'm glad youse guys got a chance to hang out. A couple of my friends who met Stan last week remarked that he reminded them of Octopunk and that it made them miss him. Personally I don't see the resemblance but I still thought it was cool given that you didn't really know each other back in the day.
Where, pray tell was 50P?
Great pic! Great post! Makes me want to come do the west coast tour :)
Those burgers WERE delicious. And we tried mightily, but 50's schedule never quite got in sync with mine.
And Octo, that studio was one of the awesomest places ever, thanks for the tour! I am insanely jealous of all the brilliance you & the gang get to create there.
And that picture did come out great...
i tried. i frikkin tried so hard.
stan, please, tell them how hard i tried.
Heck, even I got to hang out with Stan. I tried not to.
50 tried almost as hard to see me as Puff did to avoid me.
I love the picture, an instant Horrorthon classic!
Seriously. That's some serious Horrorthon Hall of Fame shit.
I never realized how angry Octo looks. He REALLY means business with that thing!
Amiable dispatch and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you on your information.
