It's a crush panic

I just got a fab bit of information. I'm going to be able to bring my MP3 player and play my music for the Pat gig over the music board/amp setup that the Blades are letting other performers use for their songs. I just need to find some extra RCA plugs. We might have some leftover from when we bought the new stereo stuff. [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick, do you know?

I'm still enamored with Tumblr. What a fantastic concept. The execution is a bit messy, and there are definitely things I'd change about the navigation techniques, but overall, I like it. If for nothing else, than for introducing me to BroTips.



I'll be posting a My Favorite BroTips collection soon.

Thanks everyone, for the kind words regarding my performance on Saturday. It's been a very long time since I performed for an audience to taped music, and that's a very different skill than wiggling for tips with live drummers at Smoker. Making a good impression for possible paying clients is a Really Big Deal for me right now. I just hope there won't be many other belly dancers in the audience.

The costume is coming along. I made huge progress last night. Tonight, though, I have acupuncture. And tomorrow, a going-away party. Time is definitely running out. I hope to almost finish the belt today over my lunch hour. Then it's just the over-skirt and sleeves, which will be out of stretch lace and shouldn't pose too much of a problem. I hope. It'll be good (for a number of reasons) when this is done. My fingers are tender from all the hand sewing!

I was always a Nick girl, but in this incarnation, I think I lean a bit more toward Roger. How about you?

Wait, what? I was told there would be no amplification. That would make a *huge* difference for what Wayne and I could do.

*shrug* It's there on F-book.

Going to look, thanks!

Do you mean those three-color cords for sound? I'm sure we have an extra set somewhere.

Yep. these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector).

Found a two-end (red and white) cable. On the banister!

I have the RCA connector that I got specifically for the Zen. Do you have a pigtail (one into the two) connector?

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2011-11-10 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a...three into one. USB, DC in 5V, and A/V out. I'm assuming the last one is the one I'd use for the RCA connector. Yes?

I didn't learn how to drive stick until I was 31, but now I totally prefer it. I bought my current car primarily because of the manual transmission. There was another car that was $1000 cheaper that I was looking at too but it was an auto and and I was like meeehhh.

(well, okay, that sounds a little weird: I bought the car because it was a good car and had good gas mileage and the price was reasonable, BUT: it was also a manual.)

Every time I look at a sports car that has an automatic transmission, I die a little bit. Although new technology makes automatics more gas efficient and faster. Crazy.

Why do I have no car icons?
