Just got a new job doing Authorware/Director/Maya courseware development in the UAE, and the Live AV experience helped to secure it!

Six-figure US$ tax-free salary + apartment, car, utilities, housekeeper, trips home supplied... couldn't say no, even though it means living in the desert!

Anyways, I'll have tons of AV stuff on eBay after next month's functions.

Way to go!

Ask questions if they start asking you to create 3D renderings of the Sears tower, Altocha station, London transit systems or (depending on when you start) Bejing.

I'm thinking about ditching everything and going back to Motown/jazz/funk trumpet again... my first musical love and college major (a LONG time ago!)... one small item to carry to gigs by motorcycle...

Will this gear come with a certified embossed "Used by hambone1" sticker with unit number?

I'm sorry, aren't we talking about the UAE? You must have thought he meant the desert in the USA. That would make sense. :roll:

No, I know what the United Arab Emirates is. It was an off color joke. Non-politically correct. Forgive me for implying that all hajis, I mean Arabs are terrorists.

Man, tough crowd. Gobama!

…6 figure income? What? Fuck this DJ shit. I'm selling everything and moving on with my life!
:D

I'm totally stoked about your upcoming yard sale…..but then I realized you live across the pond and shipping will probably be a fortune….and throw in the US toilet paper dollar :cry:

But I'd sure love to get my hands on some genuine vintage hambone1 gear..especially lights.
