Here at SuperForest, we’ve had the distinct pleasure of raising awareness and funds for some pretty incredible organizations. Today, I direct your attention towards taking similar action. But this time, rather than letting you know about something really cool, I’d like to introduce you to someone that is really cool. So cool, in fact, that his awesomeness has made cameos on our site before. I’m talking, of course, about Scott Cassidy. A dear friend who’s most recent adventures have led him to the creation of a band, “Me & Mr. Cassidy”. As a part of this creation, “Me and Mr. Cassidy” has launched a campaign to help raise funds for the creation of a new album and have just over a month to try and gather $3,000. To tell us all about it, here is “Mr. Cassidy” himself:

Hello SuperForest!

I’m SuperForester Scott Cassidy of the band Me & Mr. Cassidy and we need your help! We are an independent acoustic band with roots in folk, pop, and jazz, based out of Los Angeles, CA. We’ve dedicated the last 4 months of our lives creating our debut full-length album in chronological order, telling the highs and lows of Annabelle and Theodore, as they live and love. It has been an incredible process, writing and creating something so compound and so intertwined. At the same time, each song will be able to stand on it’s own as a fun, unique and meaningful song.

This project is something we truly believe will be incredible, and we have worked diligently to make sure that every moving piece is in place before moving forward to the next step of actually recording. Right now, we are at that point. We are ready to record. The only thing standing between us and recording is the money.

To cover the expenses of making this happen, we need a total of $3000. First of all, this covers our travel to record in North Carolina, at Bear Cave Studios with Justin Huey. Secondly, this will help with the actual studio fees, recording and instrumentation. Third, it will cover mixing and mastering the album to perfect quality. And finally, it will help with the actual production cost, making sure that you go home with a physical hard copy from any of our shows or if you order online.

We have set up a donation fund through the website IndieGoGo.com, and with that, we have set up some awesome things to give you in return! Things such as private concerts, signed guitars, free entry to shows for a year, signed CDs, hand-written lyrics, etc. $10 even gets you a digital version of the disc when it is released! It’s just like prepaying for your CD! To check out the various donation tiers and the gifts we offer, please check out our IndieGoGo site.

Thank you so much for any help you can give us. We understand that money is tight, and we want to make sure that if you donate, you will get something awesome for your donation. If even all you can do is take a minute to spread the word and link some of your friends to our site, it would be amazingly appreciated! We want to be able to bring our work and our passion into your lives, and we want to do it in the best possible way. This is something we absolutely believe in, and we are so excited for it all, so the fact that you even read this message means the world to us.

Thank you for anything, sincerely,

Scott Cassidy

Except I totally kinda am.

The guy that just made my sandwich at Subway (footlong Spicy Italian on Italian Herbs and Cheese! Represent!) was missing 3 1/2 fingers. Seriously all touchin my food and all that! Except he had gloves on, one hand of course only being occupied by barely enough fingers to keep the glove in place. Which, that’s fine and dandy. Fingers shmingers. As long as my footlong gets made to order and tastes like the bomb Subway sandwiches I’ve grown to almost become aroused by, then go ahead and make the damn thing with your feet, if you can do it. I just request that you wear foot gloves.

But my visual issue I had with this man went far beyond a lack of piggies. He also had a pantload of (assumedly knife) scars across the back of his hand (I also assume this is how he lost his fingers. I imagine a story of a knife fight with a monkey on a yacht in international waters.), and a tattoo on his wrist that was the Roman numeral 6 (perhaps how many monkeys he killed for his lost fingers). That was everything I caught while glancing at his left arm and hand. Then, while he was toasting my sub, I noticed the red jacket he was wearing was one that said “Black Panthers” across the back. This is very much a white dude. As white as me, if not whiter. REFERENCE POINT: I’m white as can be. Does “Black Panthers” have a different connotation than I was told? Is it now a brand of clothing for ironic ghetto white folks? Or is he just still really upset? You have to have a pretty visible and frequently validated hood pass to pull that off, I imagine. I couldn’t do it. That’s for sure. But I probably also couldn’t get into an actual knife fight with a monkey. If I did, I’d probably just give him a fake knife. Like he’s gonna know the difference. IT’S A MONKEY. Monkey’s don’t know stabby knives from fake knives.

But aside from the international monkey fight association (IMFA), I don’t know. I got a vibe from this guy that I couldn’t quite shake. It’s like when you see a prisoner in prison and still think he’s capable of eating your brain straight out of your skull, no matter how many bars are between you and the psycho. It was kinda like that! Except he was super friendly and the sandwich came out perfect. So, judging his book by his cover? Flawed. Don’t do that. Because who knows who really is a great sandwich maker at their part-time job at Subway? That’s exactly why I don’t get in fights with strangers or walk to the other side of the street to avoid thugs. I want to get to know them. Figure out what kind of Subway sandwiches they like to make best. Find out what Subway they work at. Go in. Enjoy a delicious toasted sub. Attempt to not look at their missing fingers too much. Or.. hell… maybe ask them about it? I haven’t figured out which way to go with that part yet. I guess it depends on if they like to talk about their history with the IMFA or not.

Lover of the Sub-er,

Scott

(I’d like to take partial credit for the brilliance that is Scott Cassidy‘s Workspace Oddity…after all, I think I kind of annoyingly pushed him toward creating a tumblr and giving it a quirky work-related name, but alas, I cannot. All the witty words and subsequent laughs created are all him. So I guess all I can do is send a sincere thank you for his sharing this fun piece with us. Thanks, very much Scott! -Carla)
