[The voice that comes through the phone sounds tired, more than anything. It's mid-toned and has the slightest drawl to it, as well as a distinct Canadian accent for anyone who might recognize that kind of thing.]

[A brief pause, and there's the sound of him shifting a little bit, then the plunk of a bag hitting a table.]

So...I'm Ches. Ches Fields. 37 years old. Farmer by trade. I hail from British Columbia, Canada, if anyone knows where that is. Live there with my little brother and a bunch of friends who help me run the farm.

[Another pause, then a soft laugh.]

Who all's here? Tell me a little about yourselves? And, well, if anyone from The Commune is here, drop me a line.
