[Nfb-web] Today I Made The Kill!!

[Peter Donahue]

Hello everyone,

    For some time I've been talking about purchasing digital recording and 
audio production equipment to record NFB functions and other events. Today 
we made the kill! Tonight we're proud owners of an Alesis Multi-Mix 8 mixer, 
and other equipment including a conventional and a wireless mic along with 
headphones and all of the needed cables and connectors. Recall that I was 
able to purchess a laptop at the end of April. I expect to be picking up a 
second wireless mic and a Lovelear Mic  before leaving for the national 
convention.

    So far I'm scheduled to record the NFB Writers' Division Workshop and 
Business Meeting at the national convention.  We bought a flight bag for 
transporting everything to Detroit and back.

    both Mary  and I went to the Guitar Center here in San Antonio to pick 
up the equipment. One of their managers, one Chuck Edgett was extremely 
helpful even to permitting us to setting  up the equipment and testing 
everything in the store before purchasing it. We were there for over three 
hours, but when it was all over we left that place with over $600.00 worth 
of professional audio production equipment. A payment from another Web 
client will make the purchess of a few additional items possible. Given the 
short time frame if the budget holds out I may also pick up an Olympus DS-50 
before leaving for Detroit assuming I can find a local dealer that carries 
it. This has been in the works for several years and has now come to pass. 
The next milestone for me will be streaming my first NFB event. Here's 
hoping everyone is having a great weekend as we are here. Talk to you all 
soon.
