And to think that i'm bored out of my mind overhere at the Belgian coast :wink:
I guess security is underrated when you live in one of the safest places on earth.
Break-ins are like guns and violence over here. Stuff you only see on tv....
Though in Brussels, you might get killed for an ipod.

Are there any black people there - I could live there? No? That's what I thought :(

I recently moved into downtown Baltimore and now I'm regreting it. I'm noticing more and more the longer I live there that there is potential for a break in. I got a security system put in my room which didnt really cost much and should get renters insurance soon too. I think if someone gets in they are going to run out with a couple peices of gear before the cops show up.

I put some stuff out of view kinda hidden when I leave out of town for a few days. Why did I move here? I guess its good to be cautious no matter where you live though.

I'm going to be getting a safety deposit box which I will put software master discs in and an external HD which will have all my back up audio/midi files in.

I hear there are some better areas in Chicago. Baltimore is getto in and around the city. Anyone thinking about moving to Baltimore? DONT!

home i worry about less since i have the renters insurance....(and the wife doesn't tour much these days)...
i had my laptop nicked the december before last in nyc...
luckily, it was the last day of the tour...i had my music all backed up at home,
but i lost 600 pics of grafitti art from the us and europe...and two months of work taken(the backup dvds were with the laptop)...and my passport!!!
i hope whoever stole it has a flesh-eating disease and a slow, painful fucking death.
maybe somewhere in the u.s. some illegal alien is paying into my social security? :?
so....anyone know of an international insurance provider for mobile/laptops?

as it stands I'm living in the countryside so its pretty safe,
dood... not sure what it's like there, but here country break-in rates are like
twice the city.... It's just so easy when there are no witnesses around.

uummmm.....i guess you could say that if you are REALLY RICH....

but on the typical artist budget yer living in da hood!!!!!

i know i lived there for 15 years....drive by's .....gangs...bad drugs....GREAT LOFT PARTIES.....dead people on my doorstep....junkies shooting up in my gangway.....good times (really chi town is a blast but safe??????)

i have played most of the major cities in the usa and i would say by far detroit is the most unsafe place i have ever been!!!!
