Won't you be working again since the producers decided to make nice with the writers? ;)

Still gotta save up because I really need to get a Mac so I can hopefully get work editing.

I go in this guys store here in Indianapolis for strings and things, he used to be less than a mile from my house.
He moved up the road a few miles from me now. He's a good guy to deal with.
I didn't even know it was him until I bought one of his SG Supremes on ebay and asked about local pick up.
He must keep these in his storage room, I never see any hanging on the wall. And he seems to have a lot of them lately

I bought an SG Supreme from him and I'm picking it up on Friday. I'm just thankful he doesn't have any sunburst SG's listed or I'd be selling my blood right now.  ;D

Hey Marc......I used to live in Franklin(or Hoosierville, as I fondly refer to it). His store is in Fishers, right?

I think it would have been easier if they had just stamped all the derelict GoW models as Epis and given them away for free to the needy!

 I almost went for one of the SGs, one had particularly nice grain  :o My hands are tied at the moment, I'm still siting on pins and needles about a Hiwatt DR201 deal.

I played two of them locally and didn't like the neck or the feel of the body.  They just didn't do anything for me.

Thanks for the encouragement.  ;D Unfortunately, it will be anywhere from weeks to a few months before work gets back to normal, even with the strike officially over as of yesterday.

That actually makes me feel a lot better about not getting one. Thanks!

Someone has to film something before you can fix it in post production.

I heard several new series were cancelled because the production teams, what ever, just moved on to new projects during the strike.

From what I have heard, a lot of the new shows during the writers strike are going to be no more and shows like Lost and Heroes won't see new episodes till next year.

OT, but basically there are a number high profile shows that will probably film 4-5 new episodes that will air in April and May, but the majority of shows, even if they come back, will not be in production until late June at the earliest. I'm hoping in the meantime that the film studios will crank up production on their film slate. The potential for a SAG strike is still there, which would happen in June, so the more the studios can get in the can by then, the better. Let's hope so, because that would mean I get to go back to work!

A drummer who I played with is partners with a guy who own a Post Production Sound Studio in Dallas. He does all the sound post production for the show  Prison Break, movies and radio spots for the Republican party.  I guess that's the better part of post sound production, it allows you more diversification vs film.

Bummer, we, the War Dept. and myself, really liked the new show "The Big Bang Theory" - well written and the characters are spot on.  It'll suck if the one new show we actually like gets the axe >:(

His bigger store is in Fishers, He has a smaller one over here by me (NW side). I had to go to Fishers to pick mine up.
For what it cost I think it's a great bass. Mine plays great right out of the case.
