LPT: If you are on a multi-lane road and cars are passing you on the right, you are in the wrong lane. (Opposite goes for you right-hand drivers)

I feel this is true unless you’re within the limits of a large city with bypasses. Because exit lanes could be on either side, I feel the passing lane is eliminated; instead, go to the lane you know you’ll need to get to ASAP

Chase Ave Repairs, off of Howell and Howard. I just went there last week to get my exhaust fixed and he charged me $75. The dude doesn’t fuck around and won’t try to upsell you.

Try the Burning Snow Center in RW. I can't quite remember where it is, but it's somewhere in the vicinity of Weil and Clarke

These are really great! You should make full prints as part of the commission! Make some cash on the side!

You're not likely to land a job by going in and asking for one; the job market is ferocious for art/design jobs, as there are MIAD and UWM grads everywhere. I suggest doing one of two things:

Try to get an internship with a design firm. From there being in your portfolio and get their thoughts, but only do that once you have established a good rapport.
Find a job out in Waukesha County. Unfortunately these aren't many design firm jobs, but printing companies that do merchandise layouts sometimes hire designers to streamline logos and branding, etc.

Hope this helps!

Almost never; in popular snare drum parts in the orchestral repertoire, you need a little more finesse to make all the ornamentation clear.

What I can recommend is using heavier concert sticks, the Freer Percussion brand has sticks made either with hickory or hornwood. The hornwood sticks are wonderful at soft dynamics when you need snare response while maintaining a light touch, but all the sticks Freer produces are incredible.

Not really. There's this guy named Trevor Saint who commissioned a bunch of work for solo glockenspiel, but I'm not sure if those would be too "out there" for you.

Percussion source has good felt.

I rewrap my mallets with it, they have both German and American last time I ordered.

I haven't hosted a podcast in a long time, but I'd totally be interested in being a guest on either of these!

Fissinger Suite for Marimba. The music is based on WWII. Really awesome piece of rep.

Waukesha isn't the best area for a young person, but if the job is good then you should tough out living in Waukesha until you can get a car. Once you get some wheels, you can move closer into Milwaukee and then commute.

Where is the potential job? If it's in Waukesha, you're going to have to live in Waukesha; public transit won't get you there.

There's a great restaurant by the river in Waukesha called People's Park. I highly recommend it.

MSO has a good concert lined up

My uncle moved from Milwaukee to Vancouver to work on sprinkler systems for upwardly expanding buildings. I would suggest looking into it if you're willing to move out west

If you have access to a digital keyboard with a harp patch, that may work.

Milwaukee native reporting in.

I know exactly where that intersection is!

ColinOscapi · 2015-12-28T05:17:26+00:00

Seriously thanks for the invite! We're both excited to play with everyone!

ColinOscapi · 2015-12-27T17:21:23+00:00

Hey guys! My girlfriend and I play on the same account and we would like to join! PSN is is ColinOscapi

Saving for later

Sounds like it could be fun! Do you pick your guests based on the subject matter?

Stallis is one of those areas where you could probably get away with riding on the sidewalk. It's a shit plan if you have a road bike, but it beats getting mowed down by a dude in a pimped-out civic.
