Haven't quite sold my soul just yet.

Did I talk the guy down low enough for you? P.s. I have some tubes for it you can have until you decide to sell it.

Hmmmm, if they offer a CanJam special on these I may have to sell some shit.

Better to have it let off a little steam before we get there.

The Celtics/Magic game.

That was good funny.

Looks to be about par for the course, glad to know that they didnt penalize you for their absurd packing routine.

I hope she feels better soon, I'm sure it's tough on you and your wife as well.

How's she doing Mike?

Rewire could be pretty rough. If, say, the cups happen to be aluminum those are a bitch to get off and I really don't feel like burning my hands. You really need work gloves to work on the aluminum grados. Wood, plastic, maybe, but all the same I'm not hauling a cable out there for that.

No, I need to drink more and get my liver in shape or I'll be a one-drink wonder in LA.

Now that it's out in the open Todd told me this and I told him I fully supported it. Any one involved in planning an event of this magnitude deserves some special treatment. And Al, sure I can do some quick snip/snip solder work if someone has an iron and a multi-meter. I'd be happy to do it for Todd to if he wants to have a balanced pair to use with amps. I can bring supplies if someone lets me know how many of what kind they want to do so they don't look like hack jobs.

If I may be allowed to say so you and I fracken rule the school at this one.

Between yesterday evening and this morning I spent 5 hours mowing the lawn. Followed that up with re-mulching the front flower beds which took another 4 hours. I'm spent. Only 2 units of alcohol consumed so far, clearly I'm way behind schedule.

I don't see why it should be a nightmare, it just needs to have some order rather than first come first serve. If you ordered in the first 20 and you're going to be at CanJam you can pick it up provided you bring your receipt. Once those folks are taken care and assuming there are any left (since I'm assuming there are less than 20 of the first 20 available to the masses) he just goes down the order list until 20 are gone. Everyone else gets their order shipped in order or purchase after the event.

Happy Birthday Chris!

Your assumption that she knows is laughable, that's lesson #1. Dan/Mike, no woody or recable plans just yet for the HF-2. Heck, I still haven't recabled my HF-1s so I don't see a huge need there. The 1/4" plug is unacceptable though and if someone has a soldering iron there I'll absolutely chop the plug and reterm w/in 10 minutes of ownership.

I wonder if the masses will cry if the first thing I do at Canjam is lop off the stock plug and solder on a 4-pin XLR?

Officially paid for the B&K 700 which should arrive mid next week.

STAY AWAY FROM SONY. What ever you do, please, please, please don't buy a Sony baby monitor. I hate ours with a passion (can you tell?) so deep that I want to grab the every time I have to use it. Ours is this fawking turd Sony Baby Call Baby Monitor - 900MHZ - Sony Electronics - Babies "R" Us and is the spawn of Satan. It goes off every time you so much as walk by the receiver or sometimes for now reason at all. Imagine when your kid is sick and you're trying to figure out if that semi-cough you thought you just heard was vomit and you wonder why the monitor didn't go off. Then as you walk over it goes off and you freeze in your tracks like a deer in the headlights. Craning your heck and listening for the slightest sound. Only to have it stop after a few seconds (auto mode) and then when you take another step it goes off again. Rinse, repeat, panic attack. Or, if you need to use AC in the summer and don't have baby in the room with you and count on the monitor to let you know what is going on it's quite fucking annoying when in the middle of the night with the transmitter a scant 20' away the receiver looses its signal and emits a sharp, loud, stacatto beep-beep-beep-beep unit it gets the signal back. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I can't decide what made us sleep worse, lily or that goddamn baby monitor. And if it were me, no video, no thank you. Some times not knowing is so much better than knowing.

You will learn quickly what I'm sure others have already told you, now begins the phase of life where your kid gets all the cool shit.

I sent an email, I'll probably leave him alone for a little while longer.

I'm trying to resist the urge to call, but I forgot to put my head-fi user name in the comments field and I just want to make sure it gets processed without a hitch. I'm assuming my order, confirmed at 8:15am EST will make the cut.

How'd you do that? I wouldn't mind having #8 to match my HF-1s.

Graco Snug Ride here, it's worked great and it's a must to have a base in both cars. The detachable part worked great since the seat mounts directly to our Bob Revolution stroller so we didn't have to buy a dedicated infant stroller.
