Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

This new trend of storm protesting gathers a lot of media attention.

They’re hoping to have a million sheep at Area 51 to overwhelm the security. Nobody seems to think for themselves anymore, they just follow the line and assimilate the talking points that they’re fed. Oh, and have a big party that someone else can then clean up.

I doubt that many moms will let their spoiled children attend the event in the middle of the night. They’ll have to attend on social media.

I was not at Woodstock(yes, I'm the one)and I won't be at Area 51.

I was not at Woodstock...

I’ll admit to having Birkenstocks at one time.

... ... They’re hoping to have a million sheep at Area 51 to overwhelm the security. ...

Questionable planning to publicize the time of the "attack" to provide for defense planning but, not my circus . . . .

... They’ll have to "attend" on social media.

The Firesigns saw it first. Dogs flew spaceships! The indians invented the wire recorder!

At that rate, I should have aged 480 years.

hi fellow GOF's. I'm going to do something unprecedented in this group and ask an on-bass related question. I am the bass player on my worship team at church. we are looking to go with in ear monitors. we have 4 regulars guitar/vocal, key/vocal, drums/vocal and me. we do have others but that rotates. we are looking for a 4 channel setup that is easy and on the cheaper side (<1000). if figured we can use 1 floor monitor for any extra vocals. any advice would be great, well let me clarify, helpful advice. thanks guys and gals

Don't need no stinking app, I just look in the mirror and ask "Who's that guy?"

I didn't realize we were restricted to talking about music and equipment. I thought miscellaneous meant just that-- everything but the kitchen sink! Sorry I can't help you with the IEM's because I'm a dinosaur and I really love external monitors. I'm sure I could adapt as I'm technically inclined due to my profession-- but I can't imagine not being able to have normal conversations onstage or hearing ambient noise because of my ears being plugged.

If at all possible, seek out a discount offered to religious organizations by manufacturers. Also, ask around for a product recommendation from other local churches. They might be able to hook you up with a retailer.

This thread isn't in Miscellaneous though, it's in Off Topic. And Off Topic is specifically not for musical topic related discussions, except when it is.

Sweetwater has some great people to help you find what you need. I've called them a few times and got great advice from them.

Thanks Charlie. My lips are sealed!
