Had a decent night last night, saw several friends' bands at four different venues, talked to a lot of people I knew. No cute single girls to talk with, but that's nothing new, right? Heh. Anyway, was a good time, and I'm getting much better at socializing without drinking - still haven't had anything since the first of the year, and I've had a fifth of spiced rum in my freezer since NYE!
So yesterday afternoon, I bought a ton of new music equipment - a 120W, 4 channel PA system, a set of desktop studio monitors, and a 2 channel interface for recording tracks (still need to buy a new laptop to run the software, because this one's on its last legs). Got all of that for only $400, which I thought was a pretty good deal. Today, I bought new strings for the acoustic, and a sound hole pickup so I can plug it into the PA. This guitar has the smallest sound hole ever, and nobody's been able to find one that will fit it, so I had to modify this pickup by cutting a bit of the bottom side by about 1/8th inch. It fits now, but barely. Still, it works, so I'm pretty happy. I had to remove and re-splice the connector, because the damn thing didn't work at all right out of the box. I set up the guitar & mic tonight and practiced a few songs, to try to get myself used to hearing myself in the speakers. Went pretty well, but I still feel awkward, even alone in my basement! I'm hoping I'll get better soon, so I can take a few songs out in public...
