I’m pretty lucky and happy. I play in a great band, make music with tons of talented people, and I’m getting to travel.
I had the bright idea to forgo renting a place for the next few months because I would be on tour or hanging out in Brazil with my girlfriend.
To facilitate such ends, I put things in storage I didn’t want to sell or giveaway, and consolidated my electronic rig to OT, AH, KP3, MIO10, Nord Drum 1, an Telefunken M80, and iPad. Mind you, I figured out how to fit them all in a Pelican 1610 ( minus the iPad ) and voila, I have my rig whenever I need to fly.
This worked out great! I recorded some great samples of wildlife and neighborhood sounds in Brazil, as well as got some good focused practice with my rig.
I write this about to at LAX, whilst this airplane is about to push off from the jetway to take me to my next gig with my band and I’m a little miffed.
You see, Jet Blue can’t find my bag. It didn’t make it to Austin with me like the rest of my baggage, and so their story is it somehow got lost in the secured customs intake area.
I know they’re going to make it right by either finding my stuff or buying me new stuff… but it’s my fault the CF card was still in OT and I didn’t back it up.
Anyway, I hope y’all day is great!
