Happy Paddy's Day

Happy Paddy's day everybody
Hope everyone had a good one. A whole day off and I had tickets in the stands for the dublin parade, plus after the parade socialising. Twas' a good auld day!

As a fellow Paddy I feel obligated to join in and wish everyone a happy Paddy's day.  Mine was good - I started by mastering a great dub album, then took a sunny walk on a nearby mountain, spent some time with family and now I'm soldering my mega Sontec with Elma switches all round. I have a nice German beer in hand too so no complaints from the South Western Irish division of GroupDIY.

Stay well everyone,
Ruairi

Mine has been a bit unusual.  I woke up and spent the day attending funeral services for the father of a couple of friends.  (So long, Mr. D.  May the Pistons find their way without your dignity and class at the the helm.) 

Now, after a brief nap.  I'm off to play a loud rock and roll, in Corktown, Detroit.  Corktown is the oldest neighborhood in Detroit and was established by Irish immigrants over 150 years ago.  So, that feels a bit more Irish-American than being in some strip-mall bar with an O' Fakery facade and overflowing with drunk yuppies.  I'll allow myself two Jameson drinks and after that, I'll leave it to all the fookin' rookies out tonight.

Cheers, all!

Well I am sorry to hear that Miko. Mine started kinda weird getting a vocalist in to retrack some vocals due to a slight distortion at 7k. But turned out that his voice actually has a distortion at 7k. Or more like a distortion simulation. That's where his rasp is. And the mood got a little dimmer when I found out he is going deaf from some disease in his inner ear. And may be deaf in 15 years unless a new treatment comes up. My girlfriend/assistant had tears. Not the best here either. But he is a hell of a great guy. Needless to say we didn't retrack the vocals.

Didn't mean to drag this thread down any farther. Should be a happy day!

My gandpop was born in Ireland so I am 25% Irish so had to add something. Hope all had a happy one! But unfortunately even St. Paddies day can bring a few of us down...

I was able to squeeze a guinness in before midnight. Also, I watched a special on public tv lastnight that was basically an historic Irish pub crawl where the host went round to all the pubs in dublin. what I noticed through out the show is that the host was getting drunker and drunker! presumably not all the shots where filmed the same night so they must have noticed this too in the editing because by the last 2 pubs his speach was getting VERY slow and deliberate (like he was trying not to screw up another take!) and his eyes were getting more and more droopy. hilarious.

also, seemed like some good history lessons in the show. and I popped my last guiness in the fridge!
