OpenOptics and I want to thank everyone who participated in our remix competition!  If you haven’t checked out all of the remixes then please take the time to do so…..to at the very least browse through them.  They are all good and some are really amazing.  Now is the fun part for us to go through them and decide a winner, which won’t be easy to do.  For everybody who took time to make a remix of our song, I can’t thank you enough.  Inspired Flight puts so much time and love into the music we make, and to hear people take the stems from one of our favorite songs and turn them into something completely new, something we would have never created ourselves, is one of the most awesome feelings in the world.  It’s hard to explain what it feels like to hear our music, and especially my own voice, twisted and remixed with love and passion by another artist.  So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for getting involved and remixing us.  It’s times like these I can’t help but think of a timeless joke my great grandmother used to tell me in the swamps of Louisiana:

So a horse walks into a bar.  The bartender says, “Why the long face?”  And the horse replies, “Oh….i’m just going through some hard things.”  The bartender stops what he’s doing and exclaims, “Oh my god!  You can talk?!”  And the horse says, “Hell yeah, I can talk.  I just came in here to tell you I’ve been bumping Inspired Flight all day, everyday!  That’s what’s up!”  And the bartender says, “Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah  boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!”

True story.
