That sounds cool! Yeah I'm not working with that other studio any longer. I just felt like I needed to move on and the owner, who was also a friend of mine, kind of stepped to me with the wrong attitude one day and shot his mouth off which kind of left a sour taste in my own mouth so I decided to part ways. It happens, but it's unfortunate when people decide they are going to burn bridges.
I'm actually going to be opening my own studio within the school to cater to the students for production/recording purposes and educational purposes, as well as non-affiliated clients. It's going to be a pretty cool endeavor and if it is successful there is huge potential for growth, expansion and multiple facilities as the franchises branch out as well.
Latest and greatest - picked up a job working for Paul Green's School of Rock Music as the Production Manager/Technical Director/Office Manager and a FOH/MON and A2 (when needed) gig at Citylimits Delray. Just tryin' to keep busy.. yourself?
Actually no I wasnt there, I missed that run. But I did do the last U.S. run in 08 and just finished up the touring year with them in Asia 2 days ago.
Next up is Kreator for 6 wks and then back with W.A.S.P.
Whats your schedule looking like this year?

Comments About Me:
When at home I engineer at a few studios in town. I have currently finished tracking the new Beggars & Thieves record with Tommy Price and Enz Penezzotti on Bass from Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, I believe the release for that is set for September.
I also recently met up with Kevin Churko who is Ozzys engineer and have been working him when possible, and am in the middle of a studio build-out, its going to be called Desert Moon Productions. It's an incredibly bitchin facility! The web site is being built now, ill keep it posted when completed, so you can check the virtual tour! I also am credited as assistant engineer on the upcoming 5FDP Album.
