The I'm still apartment hunting thread

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Somewhere, about 7 blocks north of boston, a very sweaty and smelly spag named twid is lying upon his own mattress amongst his own things packed up neatly (and sometimes haphazardly) into boxes in his own room and in his own underwear.

TWID: MADE IT.

Having one's own place to live is so goddamn huge.

To really get it to sink in, you need to walk around starkers in your new apartment.

Bumpage.

Here's two pics of my new room form either side.





Also, I did something productive toady. I shrank Flying Circus, my pedalboard (I named it Flying Circus because of the multicolored stompboxes on it, much like the planes in von Richthofen's JG-11.

Flying Circus used to look like this (picture the frame as a modified guitar case, rather than a proper pedalboard):



(all of those pedals together made Flying Circus as a whole more expensive than my amp).

Then this morning it looked like this:



Then I remembered oh shit, I'm in two bands now, so I'm going to have to put the phaser (yes, guitarists are occasionally armed with phasers) and the Whammy back on there. So now it looks like this (blank spot is for the Whammy, which I haven't put on yet because I can't find the adapter, which of course is unique to Whammys):



The pedals are held in place with industrial strength velcro and powered with a One Spot daisy chain (except the Whammy. Damn you Digitech!) The frame is actually the original one before I got a shitload of pedals towards the end of my last band's life that lingered on because I wasn't entirely sure what I would be using in Anarchangel. Well, since there are two guitarists now, I can take out the Loop Station because if one of us is soloing, the other can do the chord progression. And, well, if there are two guitarists, I don't really need the chorus pedal on there either to make the guitar seem bigger. Two distortion pedals is just redundant and I don't really need the second one as a volume booster since Pat pretty much does all of the soloing. I finally nailed a decent tone with just a distortion box playing for Daniel Ouellette, so there goes the equalizer. Well, I just booted a bunch of pedals off, so I don't really need that noise suppressor on there. Bam. Flying Circus v.3.0. And now it will fit into an artist's portfolio.


The remainder will largely be used for home recording.

Does your room have any windows?

Does your room have any windows?

Yep. It's in the middle of the first picture. I just have the shade pulled down.

And NOW I find out the first floor apartment of my building is opening up.

But then again I really don't care if other people see me naked.

Naked, half-dressed, or wearing the frilly french maid outfit...

It would have been a hell of a commute anyway until I switched over my CharlieCard to one that includes Commuter Rail. Well, it would still be a hell of a commute but it would cost me less. I would have taken it though if I were still looking, at least temporarily.
