A movie! Directed by Tom Hanks. I love it, I watch it whenever I see it on TV.

Oh, I remember hearing about it now -- they were a Beatles-esque sort of band, right?

Turn it into my music studio and ask all the religious do-gooders who wasted their money on donations to religious bullshit to "Please donate money to something more worthwhile like... me so I can afford to buy physical synths and drum kits to go along with my virtual ones. GIVE ME MONEY FOR BUYING MYSELF GEAR FOR A MUSIC STUDIO. Please. You bigoted religious sanctimonious cunts. It's thankful to me that this can't be offensive because you happen to be a hypothetical bunch of sanctimonious cunts who don't actually exist and this conversation between us is imaginary."

This is what AF.com old timer BadDogma and his wife are doing with theirs.
Quote:Just to the east of the hall, the walls talk and hum inside the former United Methodist Church. Colorado transplants Mike and Julie Tomlinson are converting the church into a home. The church was built in 1889 and later moved into town, Mike Tomlinson said.
“We love it up here,” Mike Tomlinson said. “Colorado was such a rat race.”
The Tomlinsons hope to someday open a small store in the front of the old church where Mike can display not only his Native American crafts, but his skill as a model builder.

That's an awesome idea, I'd love seing that! Also, hey Redbeard, haven't seen you in ages! What's up?

A dedicated music studio church is now my favourite idea

I hope they called it the Church of Ascension!
I'd turn it into a vintage style coffee shop/tea lounge/open mic/live music/debate hall
