People from your Homestate

I always find it weird when an artist that I like is from Minnesota...let alone a town that I know people from.  I recently discovered that Sam Gorski, a co-owner of Corridor Digital, is from Stillwater, MN and was filming their recent pilot in Minnesota.  Corridor Digital is a group of two main guys that make short films for YouTube as well as work on video effects for some films as part of a VFX team.  They have also worked closely with Freddie Wong, someone that I know William really respects.  I guess most of all I just find it weird when you get to know someone so much by watching their videos and discover that they grew up so close to you that you may have even passed by each other...yet they know nothing of you.  *shrugs* I guess that is why people feel so awkward when running into a vlogger too.  You know them but they don't know you.  I mean, what do you talk about in situations like that?
