Off to work. I gotta work tomorrow.
I think the problem with this is not so much that I don't have the holiday off, as that I never get extra days off without having to plan it out in advance, get permission, and use PTO.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

About to start my second to last performance of A Christmas Carol for this year. Thank the gods.
After the second show and after striking all the sound equipment, I get to have dinner & drinks with friends from San Diego! Then it's home to pack myself up and crash for a few hours, before driving to the airport in the morning for my flight home to MI. Hopefully my 2.5 hour layover at O'Hare won't be too painful.

Have a good flight, SexM.
Oh, and I was reading through backlog in Natter a while ago. And, like a week or two ago, you asked if you, O_A and ND were the only sound guys on the board......
What am I? Burnt toast?
Or is this a snob thing, where I don't count 'cause I do lights and other stuff too?

Well, not burnt, maybe well done.
This is true, I think Sean is earning his stripes as a sound guy as well.

You work with a guy for two weeks, putting batteries in radio packs, taping up actors, lugging around cable and road cases, and cracking jokes about anything and everything. A month later, you're lucky if the guy remembers your name.
Effin' show buisness.

Oh, Sean, I'm so sorry! I'm officially a poopy-head.
:: full of shame ::
So, three other sound people on the list, besides me.

I still don't officially have an actual design under my belt yet, but I've done editing and mixing now. (Okay, my mix at the Boston Court involved one instrument and one effects track, and no mikes, just making sure the actors could be heard over the two channels, and my editing so far has been on Audacity....)
I wonder if I can talk family members into a copy of Pro Tools and some sound effect libraries for my birthday next year. Of course, for that to be really worth it, I'd want my own Mac. That might be too much to ask.

You can run ProTools on a PC, and the mBox Mini is a pretty good deal right now.
