[Cleokatrah]

Cleo-  We are in the minority.  Although our numbers are growing.  I personally know only two other girl tapers, positive there are more out there tho.  What kind of music do you like??  I live in SF perhaps we will see each other around?

[Cleokatrah]

Yay! So they DO exist.  It'll be awhile before I can seriously get into this. (money, time, money...) I'm debating how I want to start and all that. My husband thinks I'm a fruitloop ^_^

"Aren't you going to get arrested?" he says. ha. Notice how he didn't phrase that as if he was worried, lol. I don't think he thinks I'm serious... mwuha

Anyway, it'll be at LEAST 3 months before I have the money for a rig, If I go the midprice route. And I'll have to stick to Fresno shows for awhile. Mleh. I'd like to get down to LA and tape a couple shows from some of the indie artists I like, eventually.

I like everything but rap, basically, though I won't go out of my way to buy a country cd either. I'll listen to it though. I'm big into piano and blues. Kenny Wayne and Tori Amos can get me all excited with just exhaling and playing a soft chord, I swear.

Julie G seems to be at every moe. show....and she runs a sweet rig too. Plus shes super cool!  

[zhianosatch]

didn't S run tape a few times?

[greenone]

My wife and her friends borrow the rig every so often around the Boston area...mostly for Guster shows that I can't make it to, but another friend of hers taped Ben Kweller/Death Cab with my stealth rig last month. We finally bought her a JB3 for her birthday so she can go out and do her own stuff when she wants.

Welcome!

back in the day, before all these forums, datheads listserve was the only game in town.... there was a list called "chicks with decks" i'm not sure if it's still around.....

I patched off her at my first moe. show.  Great rig!  I was such a n00b at the time that it was all new to me.  As I recall, it went like:

Me (MD in hand):  "...uh, hi! Can I run out of your headphone jack?"
Julie:  "Ok"
Me:  "What mics are those?"
Julie:  "Oh, these?  These are Intergalacic Space Modulators Mark 420"
Me:  "...oh. Cool.  Thanks!"

my good friend lives in fresno! rock on. who are some of your fav indie acts down here LA ways? i know a bunch of the singer/songwriter circuit...bushwalla, gary jules, jim biano, terra naomi, etc. if you've heard of charlotte martin (probably have being a tori fan), she's a good friend of mine...and oh yea, if you want to tape tori i'd suggest a nice stealth setup. maybe at853s or something with active cables if you're gonna have the cash.

Charlotte Martin is great. Off the top of my head there's only a couple, I think. Sacha Sacket (sp?) for sure and a keyboardist/pianist the goes by Marcela is down there, I think. Gary Jules sounds hella famaliar. There's others... but I'd have to look at my links and I'm lazy.

And I checked out the at853's - I will indeed be looking for stealth first - and they're a *bit* pricey but I may do it anyway. I was looking at core sound binuarals (sp?) earlier.  I'm still learning the technical Ps and Qs here. Why does everything have to have so many numbers, lol?

We cat people rule!
