Show update.

I've decided to get the studio space. I'll probably sign the lease this week so that I can start moving gear into the studio on October 1st. They offered to paint the walls white for me and remove the stucco from the cool old brickwork around the window, so it should be a cool room with character.

The address:
711 Lake Street
Suite 500
Minneapolis, MN 55408

Cool, eh? I figured with my birthday being 7/11, it just might be a lucky spot for me. I'm pretty psyched. I still need to figure out a lot of the equipment issues, but some of that will be helped out by my eBay camera auction. I hate to sell that camera, since it puts out beautiful video... but I really want to have 3 cameras for this show, and I've got a bunch of other gear to buy as well.

Also, my former (and hopefully future) collaborator Alex has graciously offered to donate and sell me some of the old show's equipment, so that will go a long way toward keeping my budget in check.

Another idea I had was to share the space with someone who needs a small office, since I won't be using the space at all during normal business hours. Thankfully, the building's leasing agent is cool with that.

Progress!
