I picked up my V3 this afternoon and took a quick tour of the facilities in Boulder. The gang at Grace says that the Oade mod will not void the warranty. They trust Doug's work. They are very interested in hearing how it sounds. If someone has a comp you might want to send a copy over to the shop. I did ask about the possibility of a CF/HD recorder. It's their feeling that there are already good products on the market in this area, but who knows. Good people all the way around.
who'd you meet, jamie? the man mike himself?
they're great. always happy to give you a quick peek in the studio and talk shop. it's fun to see them out at shows too, thinking what it was like when mike was taping phish at the fox back in like 92...
where are you now? are you hanging out in boulder?
I met Neal, Jamie, and the boss man himself. I'm up in Nederland at a friend's house until Thursday. I've been gettting schwilled on Avery's Reverand Quadrupel Ale and some assorted barley wines.
On Saturday night my friends and I tried to have dinner at the Black Forest in Nederland. I had to beg my friends to give the place a chance since they claimed that they didn't like hippies. I'm fairly clean cut, but my friend and his girl and difinite hippies. The place has a kick ass menu so I insisted that we give them another chance. We walk in the place at 8:30 on Saturday night and the matreD claims that the kitchen is closed. The owner comes out and seemingly confirms that the kitchen is indeed closed. I've never experienced less courtesy in my life. I find it hard to believe that on a prime hour on the busiest night of dinner service, that the kitchen is closed. I had a pocket full of cash that I gladly would have traded for a good meal. I plan to email the contact address on their website and inform them how poor their service is and what their reputation is in the community. Other than that, I'm having a great time.
