I dunno... 100 bucks and a day of hustle seems like a really small investment to advance a genius idea...

I met the soundcloud people there for example... I win by developing relationships with people no one cares about - and those are the same relationships I keep when everyone cares about them.

I was a day one guy with Itunes and it paid off, big. So you never know...
OK, EFF, you talked me into it. I just hope that it's worth the money - I need every extra penny I can scrape up for recording tape.......
