  4. I’m going to jump on the praise bandwagon and agree that the production that went into this is really impressive. Not just the presentation actually, but the content too. Nice work guys!

  6. What an inspiring news item. Excellent writing & presentation. It just goes to show you that we all can do our part to make positive changes in this world that we share. The ripple effect can go either direction, why not start with 1 positive stone throw?

  7. Jen, Mindy and Tom did a wonderful job on setting the “stage” for an informational article on another Chicago treasure. I love the technology. Thanks to Jen’s persistance and Creative allowing her the interview you’ve made another fan of Slam. We will see you on the 17th.

  8. Strong and sober times of old
    Walking, creeping towards inner time
    Small cravings across the land
    Wondering, thinking till time has come
    Feelings amongst those of old
    Haunted now and structured future
    Scent of ranched tyranny
    Fill the air
    Touch of gold left behind
    Growing pains and slender bliss
    Crying lower beneath the skin
    Tears pouring, listening to all was done
    Nothing comes or goes
    Nothing seems to change
    All is still the same
