at my store, we've got a guitar instructor who's a mixing engineer at the Sound Kitchen, near where i live...he's a real good guy, and we talk shop alot, and he lets me borrow his personal gear....i wanna put my networking skills in action (after i finish the current EP i'm dooin') and maybe start inturning there or something. i see this as my BIGGEST opportuinity of gettin' anywhere in the recording industry. i don't wanna mess this up, the thing is, i don't wanna come off as some punk home recording kid (no offence to anyone btw) who thinks that just cuz i have a few plugins, i can hang with the big boys. i have a long way to come, i understand that.

hell i couldn't navagate any of their recording mediums if i tried...well maybe the 24 track tape deck...i've been super polite to my friend and made extra effort not to shamelessly plug myself everytime i see him (three days a week).

but i had no idea about this place he worked in, so with a little help from my friends at google, i found this.

www.soundkitchen.com/index.htm

after about 10 seconds my **** got hard (sorry but i'm not kidding) i had NO ******* IDEA this place was top notch.

so how should i go about gettin' my foot in the door there? i was thinkin' specializing in mixing hard rock tunes (cuz that's what i know best) i do not want to **** this up, i WILL smell the wood in those rooms, it's just a matter of time. i guess i need some kinda resume or something....i know this album i'm doing has potential to be a spring board for everyones career that's involved (band, studio, and me) it's got that magic, stands out over alotta bullshit that's out these days. i can guarentee my cd will be played on those ns-10's at some point in the near future. jesus i'm gettin' nervous just thinkin' about it.

so yeah you get my drift, what's the most modest/professional way of achieving this very realistic goal?

deep thanks
