4am, and only just in.....

that's what happens when you put a strict deadline on yourselves, and then find that you actually have to work hard to achieve it!

10am tomorrow morning the carpets are being fitted in rooms 3 and 4, up the stairs and into the chill out room. So this evening we did all the studding and rock walling and plasterboarding in room 3, swept and cleaned both rooms 3 and 4, and the stairs and chill out room, and got electrics completed into room 4 (thanks Dave the Cunt!)

The reason for this flurry of activity is that we made an executive decision to open on wednesday, and then Personal Sacrifice went and booked in on Wednesday night which means we couldn't just say "we're opening" and then use the time to finish things off....

having said that, they weren't the first band to book in - Magwitch have that honour, booking 3-7 on sunday :-) living the dream!! it's actually happening!!

we also got the sofas for the chill out room into the unit, with a filing cabinet for tidying stuff into , and also the PA and equipment for the room on Wednesday night (well, we'll be trying it out with Beer Tricks tomorrow evening, gotta make sure it works!)

Chris was there all afternoon, and between him and Dan, they opened up the storage above the toilets, we now have "Dan's bridge" which is a massively overengineered bit of new flooring above the stairs - it kicks arse!!

and, last but by no means least, mr Michael Watson helped us get a HUUUGE 40" (at least) plasma TV for the chill out room, which means that the N64 and Playstation (and anything else we put through it) will look awesome!! thanks michael.

So, the studio (www.rock-hard-studios.co.uk) will be open in 30 hours or so, which is just amazing!!!

i'm off to bed, gotta be back at the unit in 5 hours :-S

ace!
