Ive heard good things (on the internet) about the Shure SM-58 microphone and the TASCAM US-122 preamp, so I might go out and buy them tomorrow. There goes my cell phone budget. I wonder which is better – Long & McQuade or Tom Lee music? Hmm if only I knew some musicians.
Also I’m looking to buy a mic stand and a music stand so if you got those lying around doing nothing give me a shout. thickets@uniserve.com

Nice tentacles you have there Mr. McBane…
And good luck with the buying of things…

Be sure to check eBay out. You might find some great deals on there.

Sound dampner is callled….. foam.
There’s a bedding and mattress place just up the road from where you and I work, on broadway. Darcey’s bought foam from them before, I’m sure you could talk to them about buy sheets of it. Your room is full of stuff, so the bare minimum you’ll want to cover is the ceiling.
Oh, I forgot to suggest this.

Surely some place in town makes them for the egg industry – you just have to find them and ask to buy a few dozen. And where he says tissue paper, I’ll bet well crumpled newspaper will work just as well (and it’s free in the lobby – Free, Toren! FREEEE!)
Huh, inneresting!
I’m going to mangle my closet. It’ll be great
