Comics, all things literary (MFA writing student. Wanna have a four hour conversation about the link between Hemmingway's Nick Adam's stories and lost american classicism? Or why English is the best language?), Philosophy (lets hear it for all my people with useless degrees: Creative Writing major with minor in Philo? anyone?) , Video Games, especially 2d fighters, bad (or good) horror movies, and I'm insanely nerdy about 70-80's punk rock, specifically the Ramones and Screeching Weasel. I collect Marilyn Monroe and Creature from the Black Lagoon paraphernalia.

Will a simple drill make a clean hole?

I guess it's not horribly important but I would like to know what your results looked like.


All of my prosound holes, save one which used a combo of screwdrivers/exacto knife, were done with a simple drill from Target, and the largest size drill bit in a standard set (1/4"). If there is a little plastic residue, you can easily cut it off with an exacto (hell I've even used a steak knife in a pinch, it's not hard plastic). Going to any hardware/omni store (target/ wal-mart etc) and you could ideally be set up to be making super clean holes for prosound for around 20$ max. And as was mentioned, if you pick up a used drill, you can easily cut that in half. An exacto knife shouldn't be more than a few bucks. A lot of times they are 99 cents near the register at ACE hardware.

On top of all of this: If doesn't have to be that clean. The tiny metal ring that secures the jack in place covers most small imperfections that might happen (though Nitro2K01's picture is not an example of this, his does look damn sexy). Also I agree with what Herr Proff said about doing a small guide hole first. Again, if you get the cheapo/standard 5 bit set from target, the tiniest is the best for that. I think my set was like $3. Something stupidly cheap and it works like a dream.

Good luck!

infra were you interested?

*Sigh* I wish I could.

Next year I'm hoping to go west by train.

Hit me up if you do. That would be cool. Train travel = best type if you have the time for it.

Sorry yeah, I guess the terminology can be misleading, "additional" is probably a much better term. Just usually when people say internal, the mean, just like Owen implied, that it's the stock jack, which I'm not a fan of.

Bump?

COME TO CHICAGO!

I am a man without a cart. Kitsch is being kind enough to look at one of my broken ones, but my Smart Boy went down the other day too. Sigh. Have programmer, just need a cart.

Yeah the extralong tables thing was great. It was like "That makes so much sense how have I NOT thought of that?!"

Kudos for sharing. You rule.

Oh Mode 7, let me count the ways... that you rule.

NOM STAR is trying really hard to not make a bunch of comments. Like really really hard.

You can take a long hard look at it and go, "This isn't nearly as cool as a backlit DMG."

If me and 8bit weapon can't snuggle and watch Glenn Beck someday, why the hell am I making chip music?

Go to Pepe Rosso on Sullivan St just below Houston. That was my jam when I used to work down the street. Run by Italians making delicious food and being loud. There are only like 3 tables in the place but it's perfect. Get out of Soho and get a belgian beer at Burp Castle on East 7th st between 2nd and 3rd avenue (pricey) or go do the touristy thing and get a drink at McSorely's on the same block (not pricey). I could go on forever but most everything I would suggest would be in Brooklyn... like Barcade; 22 taps and 80s arcade games (should be perfect on a Monday).

barcade, ftw..also, pony bar...williamsburger...


Man I loved Williamsburger.
