Practice spaces

Post by Holiday Rambler » Fri September 14th, 2012, 8:56 am

Everyone's most favorite subject, I know.

The loving, caring warehouse environment that me and most of my bandmates have called home for the past five years was evidently the scene of a shooting/murder (or both) this week. Ergo, it's time for WS to move.

Sucks too, I always enjoyed the free-wheelin' dysfunction of the place (even when it was obvious that the owners had no business running a car wash, let alone rental units.) Murders...naa.

To you guys who practice regularly, is there is a place you recommend? Is anyone looking to split their current rehearsal space? We have references, or something.

Too high is pretty sweet. They also have a pretty cool venue room too that is starting to have shows. I've also practiced a few times at the avatar studios and that was pretty nice as well.

2High is where we practice now. It is more than likely being closed.

I also found out at the shooting wasn't actually there, but at an adjoining warehouse on the same road.

I'll let you dudes know more when I find out.

ehy would 2High be shutting down if the murder didnt take place at 2High? murders happen in west midtown all the time. just now people care cause its been yuppified. I really hope it doesnt since that is where we all practice.

Okay, apparently management cleared everything up and 2High will remain in business at least through the end of 2013. Sorry to get everyone all excited.

S&T, the issue wasn't the murder so much as the dude who runs the place was behind three grand on his mortgage (which seems to happen every few months.) The shooting just didn't help.

Luckily...it's all worked out. See you cats down there.

Back in the hunt for what seems like the third time in a year.

You guys that practice at 2High, do you not have a difficult time tracking down Shay/anyone in the office to pay rent? Most of us in WS have been practicing there for nearly 6 years and it just gets more and more ridiculous as time goes on.

$100 late fee if you don't pay by the first of the month, but you can only pay Shay or his assistant, no one is actually sure who Shay's assistant is, Shay/his phantom assistant are only physically there from 3:15-4:09pm on a weekday afternoon, there's no drop box, he doesn't have Paypal, he never answers his phone, his voicemail box has been full for three years, someone stole the carts so the carts aren't coming back, the one garage bay door has been broken since 2010 and you can just fuck right off if you think anyone's fixing it, you're guaranteed to get scrotal MRSA just standing in the one working bathroom, etc. The place is total jokesville Mickey Mouse bullshit.

Sorry. Venting.

So...you don't have problems finding or paying him? What is the magic time window we're missing?

Truth be told, I'm fine with everything about 2High except the payment situation. Even the bathrooms. I just "hover".
