- Hey James, I was a student at UNT when you did the spinning demo and workshop. Graduated from there a couple of years ago. I have enjoyed spinning ever since. Still a member of the Metals club. Going through the frustration of trying to get into grad school and building up my portfolio. Thanks for adding me to your list.
