Had a good weekend
My three-piece rock band playing the outdoor Swamp Fest (Regina SK) and there's a costumed person in green moving weirdly in front of the band. It's part of the fest. It's a whole thing

"This is the one thing we didn't want to happen"
In 1982, he was arrested for reportedly sticking his cigarette into a passenger [clarification needed] who asked him to put out the cigarette in a non-smoking section of an aircraft. The passenger turned out to be a district attorney, but ultimately no charges were brought.[51]

Sick, very similar to one of my extra guitars (Nashville tuning)
"Global" guitar from Taiwan in the '70s, sunburst and sort of SG-shaped. Seen similar ones branded Harmony

Sick. I had a gold anodized pickguard on a thing but I removed it with oven cleaner a couple weeks ago and now it's shiny aluminum

A few years into VHS capture and I'm happy with my results so I'm going Internet Archive mode. Trivial stuff still goes on YouTube, but this is for actual material where maybe this is the one copy of it etc. A highlight so far: the Bobby Curtola Christmas Special (1984).
archive.org/details/@mas...
VHS frame of a festive title card that say "Boby [sic] Curtola Christmas" which was a spelling he was trying around this time. Boby and his family and a boom mic Boby, who contextually by the way was a Canadian teen idol in the '60s but now he's grown and has a perm, standing outside in the cold in a huge Hudson Bay stripes jacket. His standing is weird Boby in front of some choirs

Pulling up to the function with the six-pack of Midiverb IIs
Late '80s recording equipment ad where a rack of six Midiverb IIs is styled like a six-pack with a cardboard handle. Copy and paste: NOTHING REFRESHES A MIX LIKE A SIX PACK of MIDIVERB II "S Mixing is no picnic. Especialy when you're in the hot seat. Consider the 3ressure. The fatigue. The late nights. And all the agonizing over what outboard to use on what tracks. If you've ever sweated out a mix thirsting fcr more effects, the Alesis MIDIVERB II is pure refreshment. Whether it's the perfect room simulation for the hi -hat, or the perfect chorus texture for a last minute synth overdub, MIDIVERB II defiers. And, at an astonishing $26g, it's no wonder prc engineers are using multiple units to strenghten their processing 'front line.' With 16 bit linear PCM, 15K bandw dth, anc cons of musical character, MIDIVERB II is the #1 selllrg `-:-_ / signal processor In the bu§ress.* That'll only surprise you if you've never used it. Thcse who have used it love the sound so much they can't resist buying several more. With 99 programs - 50 re:rerbs, plus choruses, flanges, delEys, and innovative specia' effects -M diverb II redefines the meaning of cost -effectiveness. So after -oday's mix, you deserve something retreshing. Ask your Alesis dealer to Creak open a sixpac< of M DIVERB IPs. Your next mix couic be a picnic.

I think I was right although naturally they arrived while both VCRs are in the shop. May have been a Texas studio rather than an LA studio. Excited to see
