The Bird Shall Be MIA For A Day, Maybe 2!


The studio revamp is moving along nicely, but I'm going to be disassembling and disposing of the current furniture to allow a nice open work area for assembling the new furniture which is due to arrive tomorrow afternoon.


I don't know when I'll get around to assembling the new stuff, but until it is all set up I won't be able to be on the forum or the air at all.


There will also be a short outtage of the station at some point as I get all the computer stuff in place, I'll do my best to have that happen during the evening hours, but there is a fair chance that on Thursday or Friday morning/early afternoon we'll be down for a bit. 


You might want to bring your emergency CD's to the office with you just in case!


Photo's of the new digs will be soon to follow, once the painting and some other final touches are completed!


Thanks!

It really is Discostrangler!


I'm very pumped about completing the conversion.



Ever since about three months ago when I saw a photo of the studio of our local biggest station and was totally unimpressed.


I realized how easy it would be to set our studio up to look every bit as classy as a big budget broadcast station.


In the movies they always have these mega plush studios, and I'm sure there are some that do that, but the two big ones in Milwaukee are just very very plain.


I even toured the second biggest station about 15 years ago and was stunned to find that the DJ was basically in a room the size of a walk in closet with just a mic and control board in front of him.


JD has been trying to get us some local press, and I figure before he succeeds I want to make the set up look impressive!

well, i guess this explains (and excuses) why you have been tardy, absent, and pre-occupied.


of course we will have to hold you to the photos as proof 


sounds like you're getting all uptown!


no eating (especially drinking) in the new digs until after the dog and pony show!

Birdman, you are alive. I was beginning to think you might have dropped a desk on your leg and couldn't get up. How the working man tonight?

Hey AC!


I'm still working hard trying to finish the studio.  Right now I have most of the furnitur assembled but am still getting the computers in place, the mics set up, etc.


It's coming along real nice though.  I'm hoping to finish by tomorrow night, then I'll be around more.

How many extra screws did you end up with Riggs?

I wound up with A LOT of extra screws Sparky! But I think they were actually extra because I didn's miss anything.

Okay, the BASIC setup of the studio is done and I'm gonna post a few photo's.

I still have to paint, and I'm installing some wood lettering on the wall that says Freeze-Frame Radio, I'm also switching out the three bulbs in the ceiling fan for some purple bulbs (add ambiance to the studio) and I'm hoping to find some kind of large cardboard Penguin I can put on the wall for our logo wall next to the wood lettering.

I also have to do something about hiding/protecting a bunch of cords (I deftly hid that in the photo's). Then I'll be done!

The photo's really don't do the room justice in my opinion. It's a 12' x 14' room but in the photo's it looks soooooooo small. Oh well, here goes...







Whaddya think? Look a little more "studioish"?

Oh yeah, I also gotta pick up some stain and color that unfinished portion of the desks.

Those cheap b**tards apparantly build these things assuming no one would ever see the back of it!

Allycat, I'm painting the same color. Mostly just touching up where there are 7 years worth of vacated nail holes and marks accross the wall from where peices of furniture rubbed against it, etc.

And indeed I will get back to work! I'm going to go start mixing the paint right now! LATA!

hey riggs I am guessing when we want to broadcast and be on the forum at the same time that that other monitor simply gets pulled over to the broadcast console side?

Thanks Ultimo. No matter what, we knew we couldn't get rid of Norah

JD, actually there's only one computer per side now, but I bought a new 19" wide-screen monitor for the broadcast side, so both sides now have 19" monitors.

That should allow some extra room to be on the forum and still broadcast, but I may also set up a laptom computer on one of the side-shelves to make it easier to do both.

I'm still trying to figure out how to keep the phone calls from interfering with the wireless internet though.

Awesome Riggs! Ummm.... I know penguins are small and everything, but shouldn't you have stained the desk when you had them apart?
