wolfsbayne · 18th July 2007

I'd like to get out and meet some local peers. Moved out here a while ago after 13 years in Nashville and have been too swamped with projects to get out and mingle. Sounds like a great time. Grolsch anyone?

peeder · 18th July 2007

(won't be able to get to LA Fri...

picksail · 18th July 2007

I can never miss these shin-digs.

I'll be working, but will be popping in throughout the evening.

**James Lugo** · 18th July 2007

Sweet.

We are gonna have the new Bock Audio mic prototype for everyone to check out.

And the A Designs EM PEQ 500 Series EQ will be in the house!

JB3 · 18th July 2007

James,

Since we've had a million threads on Slutz about the mid–level mikes versus the new T-Funk and Wunder high–end ranges, do you still have your Elux (Soundelux 251 and E47) mikes around to do a quick side–by–side while listening to your awesome new stuff?

If not, I could bring one of each to the party. Might be food–for–thought for some of the guys here on Slutz that can't quite do the high end stuff and allow us to make some qualitative comments to those considering such purchases, specially since there'll be some excellent talent on hand to hear them with...You! Any chance you could arrange a female vocalist to hang with us also that evening to add perspective to the shoot-out?

...JB3 (OC contingency)

**James Lugo** · 18th July 2007

Bring mics if you want and we will have a female vocalist in the studio. I think picsail has an E47 we maybe able to steal.

JB3 · 18th July 2007

Cool!

But we're gonna end up just like this forum..."So much gear, so little time!"

Ha ha ha.

See you then...gotta go mix so I can get there Friday...Lovely night on the LA Freeway System.

Where's best parking for your place, James?

...JB3 (OC)

**James Lugo** · 18th July 2007

There are parking lots all around the studio for around 10 bucks.

Don't get creative with parking, Hollywood is tow hell!

Don't park in 7-11 or CVS or in any alley, pay the money and park in a lot. We're on the corner of Hollywood Blvd./Caheanga. Press #700 at thye buzzer down stairs.

8pm sharp!

picksail · 18th July 2007

I don't think I'll be using the E47 that night, so you're welcome to it.

**James Lugo** · 19th July 2007

Ted Fletcher is dropping off his new compressor.
