Calendar Studios

Here is a picture of my studio with my new M-Audio BX8a studio reference monitors. I wanted bigger speakers to get more low end for mixing drums and bass.

This is me at my store. I think it was slow at the moment. It will be picking up later on for sure.

Another day at the store. I just got (some) of the missing fixtures I needed to finish the back of my store. Wow, I can't keep on talking about this shit. It's boring! Okay. I had my good friend Buddha come over to my studio and listen in on some tracks I put together. He is all up for writing and recording drum tracks to my music. That means the last missing piece will soon be filled in. I will also get to test my new fancy drum mics. And here is the really interesting part. He lives in Leemore (a few hours away). He said he can drive his drums here no problem, but where to set up and record drums? I really didn't know, then he was like, "how about in your store?" Of course! After hours there is not a soul around the mall except security. I have the only keys, and access 24/7! Killer! So We will set up in the back room after the store closes, record all we like. Tear down and store the drums in the back room until the next night for more recording!

It turns out my very sweet, meek, petite, East Indian,(female) roommate has a class C drivers license! Endorsed for air brakes and triple trailers! She drove eighteen wheelers last summer for a job! That's crazy! Now if I were to think of all the impossible scenarios, well that would surely be one of them.

Calendars!

I have been opening my calendar store over the last week and a half. It has been, as usual a huge endeavor. It was a lot more clean and organized this year though. I haven't had any time to post or anything. It also looks like I will be there from opening till closing today. At least I have a couple of friends that are helping me out with hours lately. It also looks like Kirti has a Calendar Club store he is going to open in Folsom.

D.A.W.

So this is a picture of my digital audio workstation. I just bought that fancy desk to put all of my stuff on, and have a nice organized recording atmosphere. I am also now in Santa Barbara! I will be opening my calendar store on the thirteenth, and it seems like I have so many things I need to do in order to get that done. I really like my little recording set up. I will go over to my friend Buddha's house where we will mike up his really fancy drum set and put drum tracks to all the recordings I have done. I plan on having lots of finished recordings when I am done here in Santa Barbara.

I am also going to take a very exciting real estate class, go on tour with shelter, and go on a family trip to India when I am done with Calendar Club this year! Things seem pretty exciting.

The other night I felt inspired for some reason to e-mail Matt Good. He e-mailed me back too. That was cool of him.
