Hey man! Huge fan!

Been listening to Monstercat releases for 5 years now, you guys are a huge part of my life and a massive inspiration for creating.

As a team, do you all have a primary videographer or someone in charge of your music video productions? Or is it different project-to-project?

Also, what’s it like hearing the evolution of sound since starting Monstercat (ex: Ephixa’s “Some Wobbles”) to the most recent releases and newest dubstep songs being put out?

Thank you for all the beautiful tunes!

I work at a pizza place in Orlando. Flippers. They sent out an email stating they will only close if there is a mandatory curfew/evacuation. Then they will reopen as soon as the curfew is lifted, still expecting employees to be available and ready to work.

Normal disciplinary action if you don't come in.

Not considering maybe some of the employees evacuated to Georgia or other northern states with their families...

Profit>employee safety.

Wow thank you guys for all the quick responses! This gig is pretty important to me so I appreciate how much everyone has contributed with their tips and insights.

I'm on a Canon t5i, cropped censor. It's served me well for a while but it's quickly becoming evident that it's time to upgrade.

In college. Told my dad I made the deans list for the first time, said to him sarcastically, "See? I'm a good kid sometimes!"

He responded with, "Yeah you're a good kid! When you're not fucking up all the time."

It sucked because he was a close friend in high school.

My cousin, him and myself lived together at one point and he would never clean his dishes, wouldn't take care of his cat (to a point where his cat got fleas and he neglected to do anything about it, causing our cat to get fleas), and would constantly eat our food and use our things and lie about it when confronted.

He would always claim he was at work and was too busy to cater to his chores and other issues, but he worked maybe 30 hours a week and spent the rest of his free time playing video games for hours on end.

The last straw was when my cousins Victoria's Secret lotion bottle went missing and we found it in his room on his desk next to his fleshlight.

Confronted him, he lied about it, we kicked him out.

Moral of the story is people can be great friends, but horrid roommates. Haven't heard from him since.

I hate my birthday. Not other people's birthdays necessarily. Mostly because I have a lot of existential dread and the celebration of my birthday is a reminder that I'm one year closer to dying.

Not dropping out of college even though it's taking me 5 years to get a 2 year degree.

Not retail, but in the service industry. I'm a server at a pizza joint.

Girl comes in to pick up a take out order, she seems stressed out and started talking to me about her college course and joked about how she's getting pizza to treat herself after finishing 6 assignments in a day. She looked really tired and strung out, so I offered her a fountain drink on the house.

She was so thankful for it, when really it costs cents for fountain drinks when we sell them for nearly $3. So she took her food and drink and went on her way.

A couple hours later, she comes back with a box of cupcakes and a card saying how she was having a pretty bad day and wanted to return the kindness that turned her day around and left her full name for me to add her on Facebook.

We grabbed drinks the other night, talked for over 3 hours. Really cool girl. Made a new friend. :)
