Arrival, my own room to setup however I want. They won’t let me put up artwork though. 

Same time of year, same people, same basement with no phone reception, and same exact room as the last 2 years. It feels like I never left. 

The big difference this year is that I didn’t bring the big tower system that I normally have. Why you ask? Because laptops are now so powerful that the laptop I’m using this year is faster then the full size tower I had the last 2 years. It’s also about 100 lbs lighter and easier to pack. 

The other big difference is that we’re shooting tapeless. Everything is being recorded on P2 cards and dumped to a hard drive, that I just import from. I still have to create beta masters though. 

Setup, complete with client table, monitor and speaker.
