I am pleased to announce the assembly of several small entities under one heading, Abretok Industries. Rainbird Studios, Rainbird Photograbers Inc, and Abretok Arts are joining together under the heading Abretok Industries.
This idea actually started in the garage with my Dad many years ago. When we would build something or finish working on something together Dad would say, “Another fine job by Abretok Industries”, Abretok being out last name spelled backwards. I have used this idea to identify many aspects of my life so it seemed logical that I use it as a heading for my various small enterprises. In the sidebar to your right you will find various links. I will post links to the other sited related to Abretok Industries.
Rainbird Studios is the name of the recording studio where I record Demo’s and albums for musicians on an extremely tight budget. It started as my parents’ basement and still geographically is. My parents, Pete and Georgia Koterba, have been wonderfully supportive in all of my endeavors throughout my life. They have also been extremely tolerant of the racket produced by those endeavors. They are great people! I have a MySpace page set up for the studio to show some of the work done there.
Rainbird Photograbers is an extension of Rainbird Studio’s and is where you can view my attempts at capturing imagery with a camera. It will also be the place to view Items I have for sale. I have recently started hand making bracelets, key fobs and zipper pulls out of parachute cord. In addition to these items, there will be various examples of art on display for purchase. I was recently hired to sculpt scrap metal bonsai trees for a friends wedding. I will post pictures of these after the special day. I enjoyed welding at work when I had the opportunity and the prospects of using metal as a medium for art is interesting and exciting to me. Anyone interested in purchasing items from me can email me at koterba13@gmail.com
Fo those of you that are new to this site, Abretokia will be the place for news and updates regarding all of my outlets which includes a book I’ve started writing. I will also, from time to time, post stories meant purely for entertainment. I already have a few of them up. Some of these stories are fiction, some are real life experiences. I generally try to avoid anything strongly political but occasionally current events so strongly occupy my brain that it will come out in a post. Mostly, I want to inform you of things in my not so important life and hopefully make you smile if not laugh out loud.
I look forward to hearing from you all. Please feel free to comment at will but, be sure to check out my post entitled “To warn or not to warn”.
Sincerely,
Chris koterba

Trivia
1. My Favorite number is 42. For the reason why this is, please read “The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams.
2. I have worn steel toed Boots since 10th grade. At the time I wore them for going to concerts so my feet didn’t get stomped on in mosh pits, plus I like the style. Now I wear them because they are required by my employer, plus I like the style.
3. I am left handed but play the guitar in the traditional right handed method. There are many things in which I am ambidextrous but I am a proud South Paw.
4. I cannot kneel down on my left knee to tie my shoe. I always end up falling over. I have no idea why.
5. I was born in October of 1974 and moved to Wisconsin when I was nine in 1986. I started working at my currant job at Dueco in May of 1996 which means I have spent over half of my life in Wisconsin working for Dueco Inc.
6. I have a phobia of Bees and Hornets and Wasps and such even though I am not seriously allergic to them.
7. I have dreams with a reoccurring theme; I always end up getting shot.
8. I once performed with Bluefire in a chicken house that was cleaned out in order to hold a party.
9. I have never smoked anything in my life, however; I believe a smoking ban is an unconstitutional and grievous intrusion of the government on private business owners.
10. I don’t have a problem with homosexual people getting married
