It's killing me! Browsing through the sale items in the recording bin at mf.com, I see a $10 gooseneck pop filter, a matched pair of MXL 993 condensors for $150, a 50-pack of CD-R for $10, a few pairs of cheap headphones. I even saw T-Racks and Amplitube in there with "call for price" stickers on them.
Must...resist...temptation...wife will kill me...kill...

Feb 08, 2005 10:04 am No delivery? Doh! hehe, when I get one of their catalogs in the mail, its like getting a new porn mag or something. I pour over every page until the next issue arrives. I swear I could recite prices and descriptions for every piece of gear I've ever wanted. I live in Kansas City, MO, about 1.5 miles from their nearest distribution center so I pretty much get overnight delivery from them. I need to find their clearance center too, full of scratch and dent, refurbished and returned items. now THAT could be a huge timesink! Wifey would have to stay at home that day :-)
Feb 08, 2005 10:07 am It's kinda funny, I used to be that way, going to music gear stores just to browse and drool, look at MF catalogs every day and dream...but I dunno why it changed, but it did. I don't have greatest studio in the world (as anyone looking at my profile can see), but I put out a decent product with it, and I'm happy with it...I just don't really shop any more...unless I have a specific need, and I haven't had a specific need for a long time...
Feb 08, 2005 01:21 pm colonel,
i wouldnt mind not being able to order from MF, if i could live in such an amazing place like New Zealand. !!!!!! its on my "to visit before i die" list.
Feb 08, 2005 01:23 pm yeah, mine too.
My next countries to visit tho are England and Scotland. They are both cool, I know people there, and can easily expense them as business trips :)
Feb 08, 2005 02:01 pm ive never been out of the states, i just got my first passport back in Dec. the wife and i will prolly hit ireland or england first, maybe by the end of this year.
thats gotta be nice being able to expense trips like that. :)
Feb 08, 2005 02:07 pm I've only been to Mexico and Canada, which hardly counts as out of the states...
and yeah, this whole incorporation thing is paying off in interesting ways...hell, I can expense my music gear now :)
Feb 08, 2005 02:15 pm ohh i lied, ive been to niagra falls :) wow expensing music gear, that would be a dangerous sitution for me.
irs agent "so you mean to tell me you spent twice your profits on this music gear"?
Feb 08, 2005 02:16 pm yeah, then you claim it is a loss and deduct the operation loses from your taxes.
On the downside, I don't really buy much gear any more, so, well, my loss I guess...

Feb 08, 2005 04:12 pm I've traveled a lot...
1994 went to russia (Boyscouts - 1st Russian International Jamboree) and we got stuck in germany for 6 hours because there was a bomb on our plane :/
1999 went with the military to SHAPE in belgium... I like belgium..nice people and good food. Then spent 10 days in Paris ...the city was horrible, I don't see how people stand living there it's so dirty. dog crap everywhere, couldn't walk on the grass because of it. The subway was the first time I was afraid for my life while traveling...and that included when a guy tried to pickpocket me on the moscow subway... moscow was soooo much cleaner... the beggers were nicer too in russia. The first thing I saw in the paris subway was some guy peeing on the wall. The hostel though was really nice... Le Masion on Rue Dutot (sp?) I walked everywhere... until I had to take the train to the airport.
Last time I went to niagra I rode my mountain bike everywhere. Had lunch on the islands in the river before the falls which are really nice. Then on my way back a police cruiser follwed me for about a mile on the sidewalk... he freaken pulled off the road onto the trail and follwed me... I about died laughing.
Deported from canada? ...you must have been in Qubec... :)
Feb 08, 2005 04:22 pm "Deported from Canada?...you must have been in Qubec...",LOL,classic!

Feb 08, 2005 04:47 pm My brother almost got into trouble trying to get into canada. He has a alcohol arrest on his record, and when crossing into canada, they asked if he'd ever been arrested for an alcohol offense. Turns out if you do have one, you can't get into canada legally. They consider it a felony if you try to get in and are caught (the first time they warn you, but I guess not the second time).
Feb 08, 2005 05:13 pm mmm.Im from Winnipeg I never thought they really cared about that type of thing...
Feb 08, 2005 09:24 pm on the subject of canada, do they really have hash bars in British Columbia????
Feb 09, 2005 02:30 am Im off to holland soon to visit my relie's, might plan a little stop off in scotland, aye?
And order a whole lotta junk from MF on my LA stopover, oh yea.
Canada's funny, its like a carnie town :p
Feb 09, 2005 05:34 am I highly doubt the hash bar thing but i donno IM not from there,as for carnie town ....not really,lol

Feb 09, 2005 04:21 pm doh..... don't need to hear about any new MF sales. I have bought enough from them lately for a few years atleast now I think. ;) Have to pay off the credit card before I can look at sales again is my new rule. lol :)
As for Canada, haven't been there in a long time. Haven't been there since the big security hype thing actually... *shrugs* Will have to go again sometime though.
