Kinda sorta new job

[hepcat]

So I sent out a bunch of feeler emails to recording studios around town and finally got a bite from one. Called me up yesterday, talked awhile to one of the guys over there and he offered me a job/internship kinda thing. I'll be going out to record live shows 2-4 times a week. Pay is kinda shitty...I get $50 for the gig if I'm assisted by someone else, or $100 if I'm alone. Hard to do alone, it's a lot of poo to handle.

Ups: Being new in town I get to meet lots of people...bands, club owners, check out venues, etc. It's not that good of recording experience but I get to use some high-end brand new equipment. The studio is booked solid and really busy so the opportunity is there to find a way into working in the studio itself.

Downs: It sucks up a lot of my weekend time for not a lot of money. It can get pretty stressful doing a job that requires a lot of work for little money. If I find a better paying job, studio work or whatever, I'll probably take it.

Recording at one of the best venues in town tonight, so should be fun. When SXSW comes to town things WILL get crazy.

However, this is great experience for you. Gotta look big picture. Get as much out of it as you can, even if the pay sucks.
