[QUOTE="Marsellus Fariss, post: 4815, member: 1107"] Us club guys live in dark dank beer soaked caves inhabited by wooh girls and needy fragile and clueless musicians who will do whatever it takes to make things not run smooth. It's the battlefield of audio engineering. Combat audio. As hard as it gets. Where there's as much politics and people skills as there is technical and creative chops and you can never predict what's gonna happen from night to night. It's dark, hot, smelly, glorious and probably still the best place to enjoy a live show. But we do spend an inordinate amount of time standing in one place behind one desk surrounded by the same gear and we tend to make it our own (for better or worse.) So lets see your offices ladies and gentlemen. I'll start. I do 20-28 shows a month driving this ole' Crest Century VX. I love it like a classic car. Named it "Darth Fader." It's not an XL8. It's not even a XL200. Close though. It does however sound better then any M7 and most anything else you'll find in a club of our size. It is from the good ole' days of Crest and has enough channels to make everybody happy when the hipster or reggae promoters throw 3-4 acts on the bill. "We're really gonna need a mic on the glockenspiel for one bar in the middle 8 of one song we may or may not be able to fit in our 30 minute set as the first of 4 acts on a Tuesday. We're from Williamsburg." [ATTACH=CONFIG]156524.vB5-legacyid=4055[/ATTACH] Taken during a recent clean up. I'm looking for a good rug to really tie the room together. Would it not? The Funky painted desk is an heirloom from the first days of the club. I need to give it a little love. [/QUOTE]
