Seattle - Where's the party at?
Hey Seattle 'Oppers, we need to get together for another story telling, beer swilling, shit talking night out. Any takers? I vote for the Tin Hat or Deja Vu.

This isn't really along the lines of a beer night, but I'd like to shamelessly promote an upcoming show for my band, the Levitations:
Saturday, Nov. 12
9lb Hammer, 6009 Airport Way S
The Levitations
The Honey Hush
The Wakefields
FREE SHOW
We, the Levitations, have a good thing going on: we play a mostly uptempo country-ish folk rock, we keep the songs short and try to arrange them just right.
This is a good bill at a fun place. We go on around 11pm and I'll be toting a stack of self-recorded demos that I'll give out to anyone who's interested. Just ask the guy with the long curly hair (me).

Sure, just completely ignore the EAST side of the state as usual.
What about a halfway point?
Yeah, ya know, like a rockin' ass night in Vantage or Washtucna!!
OK, maybe not.
But if you guys want to jump in a car sometime and come out and tour the school studio and such, let me know. 'Tis a pretty place, and you're all quite welcome.
Otherwise, I'll be waitin' to see what AES chapter events are happenin' out that way.

this is a bit off-topic-ish question but i figure i can get some seattle people's advice. i'm moving there in a month from nyc and i'm really into playing with field recordings...but also everything to do with sound. it's a recent obsession likely to stick so i've apprenticed a bit with an engineer and got to meet some phonography and recording people here but i want to live out there right now. so the cheese line is: i want to learn as much as i can and meet people who do things related to the capturing of sound because it's mostly all i care about. i am a nice person and have pretty college friends that don't live in seattle. i'm sorry.

Kately, I'm from Wenatchee in the center of the state, this is a cool site for song birds. http://www.naturesound.org/ (Field recording).
Jeremy, are you at WSU? I'd love to drive down and sit in on something. I seem to remember seeing a newspaper clipping from Walla Walla talking about some Neumann mic that WSU had sold at an excess sale, and the people who bought it sold it on ebay for some huge sum.

Yep, that's where I am.
Yep, you'd be more than welcome to drop by.
And nope, that wasn't me that sold the mics - it happened just before I arrived and I've heard about it.
Apparently someone was clearing out old equipment from something like a physics lab. Really could have been anywhere in the state since the WSU surplus guys are a depository for all state governement agencies. But the story goes something like they had a couple of U-47s with power supplies, etc. and they looked a lot like 50 year-old lab equipment (because they were) and so they tagged them at like $10 each. They sold for somewhere around $15 each at the auction to a semi-local antique dealer who put them up on eBay, probably with only a $100 start or something, and sold them for between $6000-8000 each which is typical used market pricing for them.
The music school almost did the same thing a month or two before I arrived with a couple of U-67s that had been taken down from the concert hall when the tubes died and they were replaced with a couple AKG C-1000s (no shit). Luckily someone suggested they wait and see if they might be useful to the new engineer, and I was able to save them from a similar fate. $1500 worth of tweaks and new tubes from Korby and they live comforatbly in the mic locker.
Every time I've been to surplus there hasn't been anything that cool. Though I did buy 2 pallets of LPs for $10. Surplussed from a campus radio station.
But yeah, just PM or e-mail me if you're interested in taking a day trip down here after Thanksgiving (I'm away this week).
