Money Update

So today, I sold an old stationary bike that's been in my basement for years.
Got 80$ from it. This makes my current total 325$. That is not counting the 300$ I will get from my parents when I reach the 1k$ mark. So essentially, I have 625$, which is almost half. I'll get more this weekend. Another 60$ or 120$ from workin with Pops, and hopefully a hundred from Park St. So that would at least bring me to 745$, or on the high end, 845$. Hopefully, the second. I think I've got another idea if anyone can help out, but I'll have to investigate first.
More later.
Edit: Just realized my dad owes me 30$ and i have a check for fifteen dollars. The actual current total is 370$.

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.

Mail

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.

Damn, I must be bored.

Since theres SOO MANY people checking out the bloggeroo, (Aaron)
I'll just lay out my basic plan and money spending guide for you (me).
Theres 1300$ for the 003 Rack+ www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?langid=100&navid=464

Already have two Shure Beta 58A's.

Trying to decide between MicroKorg or Alesis Micron. Both go for 400$

Somewhere in here, I'll need a monitor, stage or studio, for listening and whatnot.

Maybe buying a mixer later at some point. Not sure yet.
Anyway, if you feel compelled to help out, HELP ME OUT! Ahem, a dollar, TWO even, anything is appreciated. I feel really slow, because I've been typing this and trying to figure out these damn ads for about an hour and a half. Is 10 bucks worth it? We'll find out.

Bom bom BOOOOMMMM.
