I agree. You will never meet or do business with anyone more trustworthy, professional or efficient as the guys at Pride Studios... especially Harlan.

Here is an ICQ conversation he and I had just this morning after I emailed Harlan to inform him of a missing check:

Hman425 (12:24 PM) :
bud I am so sorry bout the missing check, I did reply to the email, it was sent but never cashed by the bank so I suspect its in a dumpster somewhere thanks to the effieiency of the USPS - but after 4 yrs of sending checks, I suppose one MIA isn't so bad - anyway, a replacement check was sent today

BeachBoi.com (12:24 PM) :
thank you sir. i knew something was wrong. you guys have been the first to pay consistently for 4 years

Hman425 (12:25 PM) :
a title I aim to reclaim :-)

BeachBoi.com (12:25 PM) :
i actually base my budget on when the pride studios check comes in because i know that is the start of all of the other studios paying

Hman425 (12:25 PM) :
DOH - back to the biz at hand then! Rocky, when will u be sending invoices out again?

BeachBoi.com (12:26 PM) :
the 13th, i usually send around the 13th

Hman425 (12:26 PM) :
ahhh ok

Hman425 (12:26 PM) :
I will make sure it gets out!

BeachBoi.com (12:26 PM) :
i have no doubt in you, my friend

BeachBoi.com (12:26 PM) :
i never for one second thought that you werent paying an invoice. i just simply figured something was amiss

Hman425 (12:26 PM) :
I hate owing money - ESPECIALLY to friends

BeachBoi.com (12:27 PM) :
eh, things like this happen. when you shoot craps long enough, you eventually hit snake eyes

BeachBoi.com (12:27 PM) :
no big deal

Hman425 (12:27 PM) :
indeedy!

Hman425 (12:27 PM) :

So Harlan, in particular, is a great guy.
