Once upon a time we spent ages trying to figure out all of the things you could ever want to ask us. We took all of those questions and created our FAQ section. Our FAQ covers everything from who we are and what we do to why chickens cross the road. We highly recommend that you check it out for yourself, which is why we're adding more links to this paragraph. (Go to FAQ - You Love the FAQ - You Want the FAQ - etc., etc., etc.)

But once again, for those of you who crave the lightning quick page loads, accessibility, and beautiful white text of the mini-site, we've included some questions here also.

Are you guys cowboys?
We don’t reckon so. Aside from throwing on a hat, grabbin’ a cold one and enjoying a good barfight now and again, we really couldn’t be farther from anything country or western. Not that we have anything against cowboys. They’re not bad people, they just listen to bad music.

My crew's callin' out your crew! Are you down?
Not if you’re a crew of: pirates, teamsters, tax lawyers, or carnies. And we‘re not clear on all of the slang the young kids are using these days, so if by “callin’ out” you mean “looking to hire” and by “down” you mean “able to accept various forms of payment”, then yes, we’re down.

What/who is your inspiration?
We find the greatest inspiration in multi-talented individuals who do the unexpected and keep it fresh; innovators who are at the top of their game and their field. In a word, we are most moved by Excellence. It’s the main quality we seek in ourselves and hope to inspire in others.
