promotional items

My new side project is coming along quite nicely. I have made it my own personal goal to get my home recording studio up and running as a legitimate business by the end of the summer. I have a few people who have shown interest in recording when I have everything set up and I really just have to find the time to get the equipment checked out and tested. I have been spending so much time on this project actually that I haven't really been playing any music. I have plenty of little ideas floating around but none that can just be easily transferred to my handheld with out overdubbing and some degree of mixing.
Outside of the studio I have been trying to recruit new people to sign on to some type of recording schedule for the fall. Since I will still have class for another year I really need to micromanage my entire schedule. I also just got a bunch of promotional items off of this great website to get my name around town and beyond. I had about a thousand t-shirts printed and about fifty hats so that anyone who records in the studio gets something. What they get depends on how much they spend on recording and how much time it takes to get it all finished. By this time next year I think that I should have the whole thing fully functional and ready to just transfer it in to my primary income. I am so glad this whole thing has worked out the way it has because now I really do have a fall back if the business doesn't work out and I need to find a job to pay off my debt. If it all falls apart then I will be teaching social studies somewhere and enjoying that. Either way though, once this studio is running or not I will be able to get back in to writing and recording my own stuff which I have been kicking around for way too long. I just hope now that I haven't lost any of those good ideas in the hustle of my daily life.
