so with the Student Life Tour at an end, and nary a sound gig in sight at least until June....(yeah right), I can now turn my attentions to.....hmmmm. I don't know what to do.

I could try to find more audio gigs. I could try to put my camera investment to work. I could just find a hobby. To much thinking.

So as end of tour present, Matt the audio guy, "accidentally" saved his settings over mine. So the video timer is ending, the lights come up for Jeremy, Drew (the tech director) is wondering loudly why the playback music is still up, and I am scrambling trying to get a ProTools recording going. All the while Matt is asking me if I can use his settings to start. So up goes Jeremy's fader, the music goes down, and the show starts. Takes two songs to get it close. None of the effects setting were right. The verb I stored was an amp simulator in Matt's world. Jeremy sure sounded good with his voice running through a Fender Twin or something like that. At least I had all the channels, and monitor world wasn't on my shoulders. I probably would have skulked out the back door and disappeared into the wet chilly Tennessee night.

So I accepted Matt's apology, and went on with the show. What a way to have the last night go.
