Today we have a guest post. Matt Ames created this video a few years back.
When I moved back to Roanoke in 2008 after living in Florida and traveling in SE Asia, I knew I wanted to do something fun and different. Since I started Philosophy INC in 2000, it has mainly existed as a website where I and a handful of friends post things related to music, sports, humor, and travel. But now I saw Roanoke as this potential palette to paint many ideas I’d had swimming around in my head since my days in Norfolk, VA. Norfolk was where I started to look for the weird histories of cities, dying locations, and unplanned places where you could breathe. During my time in Orlando, this was extended through more community arts involvement, and by the time I got to Roanoke, I had a full set of ideas to explore and experiment with under the banner of Philosophy INC. Hello Roanoke, Hello Deleuze, Hello Economy was my way of saying anything is possible here.
