We had a really fun time at Arts Place in Indiana. The crowd was fantastic and very responsive. We'll look forward to the chance to get back there. Also, I tried wearing a hat for the first time on stage. I stopped by Wal-Mart on the way to the gig to try and find some cuff links. No links, but I found a rad hat for $3.88. It was a white derby hat with blue stripes. That night, we video taped the concert and from faraway (on the video) the hat looks like a white blob on my head. It could also perhaps be mistaken for a bicycle helmet. Heh, heh maybe I'll try that next...

Well we start recording tomorrow for our new CD. We'll be using a new recording set-up too. Here's the breakdown for my fellow gear nerds: We'll be running through a new Motu Ultralite unit into Jenn's laptop (ibook g4). We're using an Earthworks preamp and Nuemann TLM 103 mics. (I'll probably use a Schoepps small diaphram on the cello too). We haven't used the ibook yet for recording, but I have done some tests projects with it and it seems to be up to the task.
