I was totally bummed this morning when I thought I had heard the UPS guy at 8AM and thought I'd missed the delivery. Since it required a signature, I knew I'd have to wait another day. ONce noon rolled around, I assumed I had missed it, and it would come tommorow, but alas, to my suprise, I was wrong! it came around 3:30. Shook the delivery man's hand happily, and tore that bitch wide open.
This thing is a beast with a capital FUCK YEAH!
Anyway, I have it set up here in my bedroom. Almost finished tracking guitars on one song already. Although apparently I have to buy a plug-in so I can convert the files to mp3.
Hopefully, I'll get that next week and I can start putting things up! I can't wait!
Now the question is, should I get the amp head next? Or go with the synth? OR get a rack mountable tuner so I dont waste time tuning so much? It depends how much I actually get paid by the end of the month, but I will get something. It's just a matter of WHAT.
Anyway, I'll try to get some songs on cds for anyone that wants to hear it!

The 003
I forgot to say that I made my desicion Wednesday night. I ordered the 003 Rack Factory.
Although not what I originally was gonna get, I couldn't wait any longer. So right now, it's in Norwood. I'm REALLY hoping it comes today, it's just a matter of if UPS ships on Saturdays or not. I can't wait!! I'll be setting it up today, assuming it comes. So I'll try to record something as soon as it comes. I'll let you know when I'll be putting something up!

Ahhh Desicions........
So right now, I have 1125$. This leads to the question, on B&H, the company's website where I was planning on buying the 003 rack+ is now out of stock and has been for about two or three weeks. They have the model thats a step down for 150$ less. but thats not really too much.
So the question is, should I wait? And possibly risk them not restocking? Or should I buy the lower model, and settle. I need 25$ regardless, but that's nothing.
What to do!? What to do...
I'll figure it out by tommorow hopefully, because if I order it tommorow or Friday, I'll have it before I leave for MI for a week. Or I could wait till I'm in MI, but again, risk them not having it by then, and I'd be stuck with nothing for a couple days after I get back.
Its a matter of less than three weeks and 150$.
Think....

Another update on the money situation
Hey hombres y putas. Today, I went all the way to Waltham. It took me like an hour on the bus from downtown crossing, it was alful. Regardless, I made 85$ in two hours, so I can't really complain TOO much. So this brings my total as of right now to....546$!!!!!
That's a little over half. I've been considering downgrading slightly on what I buy with this fat load of cash. I was planning on getting a 003 Rack+ Factory, whereas the 003 Rack (no "+") is about two hundred dollars less. I think. *Checking* The difference is actually only 146$. So I'm not sure, thats not really much of a savings. The full price for the Rack+ is 1700$ and the full price of the Rack Factory is 1300$, so by buying the more expensive one, I would save 400$, and only save 150$ by buying the cheaper one. I'll think about it, 150$ is a decent amount of money. It could go toward my future drum set or the MircoKorg.
I'll figure it out later.
Also, I just remembered (probably for the umpteenth time,) I'll be getting another 100$ from Park St on the 30th or 31st, which would bring me to essentially 650. Which would leave me to make another 350$. PLUS, (remembered this too) I've got a 15$ check coming! I'M RICH BITCH! So the leaves 335$.
Random math time.
1 day at C&G=60$ so if I can jam in 3 days next week... leaves... 335-180=...155$.
So I need to get 155$ somehow.
Still have to list the air hockey table on craigslist. Call me if you're interested! 100$ firm.
Golf balls... ehhh..
Oh actually, if I get called back about the "candy/chocolate" study next week, that will be 100. So I think I can make it. Cross your fingers.

Summer
So I'm gonna tell you guys what I'm hoping to do/have done by the end of the summer.
Starting with concerts, I've got Straylight Run on Tuesday. Taking Back Sunday, Envy on the Coast, and Anberlin on June 27. Warped Tour on July 21 (I think). After that Rancid and Rise Against on July 28. Then there's Lollapalooza and BLINK, wither August 15 or 22. Not sure yet. I'll prolly go to anything else that comes up.
As for non-concert things, I'm hoping to have my Digidesign 003 by the end of May. After that, I want to get a MicroKorg synth. Then with those, recording! I've got two mics, so those are good. I'll just need some cables. If anyone can help out, I'll love ya!

Time for Jon Math
Here is my plan for reaching 1300$ by the end of May.
300$ from the parents. First time they'll give me more than ten dollars.
200+ dollars from Park St.
150$ from selling things on Craigslist.com. I've got a stationary bike, Air Hockey table, large dog crate, and a the legos sold for 70$
100+ from this blog. Keep it up! Stay interested.
Then I would need 550$ more.
I've 100$ currently. So that brings it down to 440$. So I would need to work only 7 days with my fajah at 60$ a day. Which leaves 20$ to find somewhere else, or just work more which I will probably do anyways because I need money.
So, all I need to do is sell more stuff, work, and get more people to read this stuff.
Also, last night I ordered a little usb mixer. It was only 50$ so I was like, "Why the hell not?"
NB. Legos sold aready. So thats minus 70$ from the end total.
Update. Lady bought my old Bionicles too. So thats 110 of the total. Only 1090 to go.

So I got my cheap-ass xlr cable today. I was thinking, the upside to online shopping is the anticipation and receiving it, opening it, and all that. The downside is that its harder to pay attention to how much you're spending. When I ordered the cable, I also bought a stand and a tab book. So in an effort to get free shipping, I spent an extra 35 dollars. Ironic.
But it IS one more thing closer to being able to get this e.p./album done.
Just need the 003 really.
2 mics, guitar, got Sam's drums, my brother is getting a bass, which I will effectively steal. and what else is there? I supposed after the 003 I could push for the MicroKorg or Micron. Still don't know which of those to get though. Supposedly the Korg has better sounds, but the Micron has more positive reviews.. I'd ask the guys at GC but theyre useless. Gotta ask the Danman.
