We're in.

After final inspections we received our Certificate of Occupancy on Friday. Not unusual to cut it that close, I'm told. Movers came yesterday morning (Saturday), and our stuff is officially in the new facility.

Sorry, no pictures for this post. We've been scrambling like demons to get everything hooked up and ready for sessions this week. So far, David Rochester and his crew (thanks John, Zac and Donnie!) are doing a bang-up job. Matt returns tomorrow for a few carpentry details like installing the racks for all of our project backups. (We have almost 2,000 discs - so it's not exactly a small job.)

Two of the control rooms are on line. Mike had the honor of first playback in the new control rooms. His choice? The Avett Brothers. Good call.

Our IT guru, James Caudill was also on hand today to make sure the ethernet connections were cooking and to move our server in anticipation of the telecom switch tomorrow.

Later in the evening I hooked up our new PS3 to the Mitsubishi 73" 1080p monitor in Studio 1. I brought two Blu-Ray discs to test the system,"The Dark Knight" and "Wall-E". Between lending a hand with this and that, I managed to sneak in a few scenes. It was wonderful, and for a very simple reason. It reminded me of why we're going to all this trouble...

To give people that feeling. There's nothing else like it.

Pictures to come when I have time to stop and snap...and when the place looks less like a disaster area.

Until next time...
