What's New?

Hmmm, Good question. More victimizing happening. Christmas and New Years have come and gone.

Ever get the feeling you are in too far, and can't climb out? Between getting the work done for my paying gig, and getting the work done for my non paying gig, the line of reality dimmed quite a bit. I needed about 4 more hours to pull off the gig for Soular. Great show. Great performance. Forgetter opened. Ian, James, and Moose. Great bunch o fellows. I'd like to forget the next band, Simple. The lead singer was a (insert appropriate explicative) jerk. My son was in the audience, being an all ages type of show, and he dropped at least 10-12 f bombs. Very nice.

I love planning out an event, and having the wrong gear show up. Since this event was somewhat of a freebie for the sound company, we were on the bottom of the totem pole when it came to gear. While everything was usable, it wasn't quite enough. Needed an extra 5-6 channels, more inputs on the snake, a bigger console with more aux sends, better effects. The Meyer MTS4's are amazing. Needed a few more MAC 250's for lighting, and at least 2 more days planning on the video side of things. But alas, I learn.

Are you catching the theme here? I am the Victim.

I really enjoy doing sound. And I really enjoy working with all these guys. Soular and Forgetter. Even my maybe future brother in law complemented me on the sound. Thats a hard sell right there. All I want is when a band I work with gets to the podium, that they don't forget me

Remember, you are not responsible. You are the victim.
