I have the same reaction to those as you do to my Peanut Butter Whiskey.(raallpph)Nope, I hadn’t eaten raw from the half shell before, with a little garnish on top it was quite tasty. I doubt that I could eat enough of them as a meal, but two or three are great! A little push from the good Mr. Stiletto and his partner in crime Jeff was all I needed
Gypsum Wall Board. It's knuckledragger terminology.
That's probably because all the crap stuffed into the space was an effective sound diffuser. Temperature and humidity may have made some difference, but I suspect that the diffusing quality of clutter is a big factor. It took a long time, making a lot of acoustic absorption panels, and filling the room full of crap to make my music room sound passable. The final thing was absorption panels above the drums and then it finally was OK. Not great, but acceptable.I hold barometric pressure, humidity, temperature, ventilation and density as key factors for quality sound in a rehearsal space. Not especially scientific but based on actual experience. Years ago, we (BG & TSC) shared a rental rehearsal space in a big complex with a trio of hoarders. Way too many of their amps, gear etc and things hanging from the relatively high ceiling. Very claustrophobic ~ but... the sound was always good. We moved to another similar sized space in the same complex but it was way more sparse/uncluttered, and I had huge difficulty getting the same bass rig to sound good. Luckily it was short lived. Our current space under our guitarists home goes back & forth from sounding sooo good to sounding just ok. All settings the same. Same bass, same drums, same keyboards, PA & guitars - but different sounding depending on the day. I refer to the difference as shifting "molecules in the air" - and I'm convinced it's more that than anything else. As in, nothing inherently changes but one rehearsal sounds awesome (levels/sound quality) and another... just ok. When we first moved there we did some acoustic work on the space but by no means like a recording studio would. So all I'm saying is we can attempt to control a space optimally in as many ways as possible on a budget - and the rest comes down to the molecules in the air.
I haven't encountered a giant Pacific octopus in Puget Sound yet. I understand that pretty much everyone who dives here eventually has a story about making friends with one, or something like that. Those things are absolutely enormous. Good thing they are not hostile animals. They don't actually live very long. You would think a large, intelligent animal like that would also be long lived. They only live three or four years.
HA! I made the offer out of politeness banking on you saying no.....Nope, I hadn’t eaten raw from the half shell before, with a little garnish on top it was quite tasty.

I love oysters. One of my favorite foods. I was in D.C. for work two weeks ago. We found a really great oyster bar. Four of us went. We ended up slaying 12 dozen between us.Nope, I hadn’t eaten raw from the half shell before, with a little garnish on top it was quite tasty.

Elliot's had over 20 varieties this time around....best oyster house I've ever been to....
you had me at Stiletto…
Clearly the, "How could you leave me?" and waiting for a really good reason look.
Thanks Dave. Home by 9:45 PM. Work this morning is not fun.
Glad you enjoyed it. Admittedly I hope to remain a virgin in that respect. I never really understood something you don't chew and seek get it out of your mouth as fast as possible. But I'm a common rube from Kentucky.Nope, I hadn’t eaten raw from the half shell before, with a little garnish on top it was quite tasty.
