Episode 6: St. John Valley || FOOD COMA TV

For Episode 6, we went to the St. John Valley, where among many other things, we shot guns with a local badass, got [lovingly] made fun of for being from the big city, danced the night away with some cougars, and lost Joel. Yes, we lost Joel.

Many thanks to our generous sponsors: Might + Main, Ferdinand, Po' Boys & Pickles, Pai Men Miyake, East End Cupcakes, Maine Brewing Supply, Vignola, GEIPC and Longstocking Design.

Great job! BUT, you missed the BEST place in the county - "The Lakeview" in St. Agatha.

@MachuMacKerrson We use two cameras. One is a JVC GY-HM100u and the other one is a Canon 7D (with a variety of lenses)

[MachuMacKerrson]

what kind of camera do you guys use?

[BeautynScents]

@alexsteed YOU BETTER!!! LOL Now that I think of it... I heard shots from there, but you know it's like hearing crickets around here! Not a big deal LOL xoxo Thanks for the great representation!!!!

[alexsteed]

@BeautynScents We had a blast. Next time we'll give you a call.

[alexsteed]

@kristsinferno FANTASTIC idea. Maybe they'll sell them at Dysarts.

@ElizabethMarie9892 Glad you enjoyed it. Please be sure to share it with your fellow students via Facebook, Twitter, smoke signal, and whatever other communication technologies people are using these days.

@djshortsleeve Where are you going and getting shitty sandwiches. We'd be happy to make some suggestions. Portland gets a lot of hype, and sometimes it gets over-hyped, but there are certainly more than a couple of handfuls of gems. Thanks for watching!

@trevorslednecks We've heard this from a bunch of people and we're sorry we missed it! Next time, indeed.
