I have not been published for 10 years.

[Hottub]

Not really an anniversary I am proud of, but a fact none the less.
Marriage, work, kids, etc. I pretty much gave up on it.
I used to review high-end audio/video equipment, and do record reviews.
I never got paid very much, but I got a bit of satisfaction out of doing it (and copped some decent gear out of the deal)
Most of my connections have dried up. I still have a couple of contacts in the industry. (all freelance now)
I am thinking of trying again.
My question is, should I waste my time on low-to-no paying gigs? Should I try to branch out of my realm, or should I just say F it!

[epo]

I would ask you this Mr. Tub: Can you do it without messing up your real priorities and still have some fun doing it?

If you can then why not?

I hate regrets.

[PapaBear]

If it doesn't stand in the way of your current ability to make ends meat, I see no reason at all not to do it. Any chance to do something that makes you happy is worth it.

[Doctor Z]

Epo and Papa Bear said it. If you've got the ability and the means, go for it. Regrets are for bitches.

[hedges]

Tub, what is "branching out of your realm?" Is it something at all similar to what you're doing or completely different.
Now that I look at it, that is a pretty dumb question.

[moochcassidy]

get back on it budday

[drjoek]

I would read anything Mistah Tub reviewed. In fact I'd probably buy it just because he reviewed it. Go for it

[Don Stugots]

i say, Fuck it get back in there.

[lleeder]

I wouldn't do it. The last couple years of listening to Stugots' radio show might have comprimized your ability to judge good audio.

I wouldn't do it. The last couple years of listening to Stugots' radio show might have comprimized your ability to judge good audio.

I took no blame for that. All blame should be put on FANDICK.

[Lawson]

Get back to it... my equipment is old and broken down and hardly works, I need some recommendations!

...oh yeah, and my stereo needs replacing...

seriously, after not touching video production for 15+ years, I had the opportunity to work on a little project this past winter. I forgot how much I enjoy it. Now I just need to keep finding projects to work on, and not impact my day job(s), I think I can find that balance

[TheMojoPin]

Those Penthouse Letters aren't editing themselves.

Match made in creepy heaven.

[DiabloSammich]

Hurry up and get back in the game.

I hear Winger is releasing a new double live album.


ROCK ON!!!

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.

[A.J.]

I think I see a joint Hottub-Fuzzybutt project on the horizon.

Go for it.

[reillyluck]

you do high end bullshit here and dont get paid for it. but we get nifty gifts. I say do it too. :tongue:

[drjoek]

Is Bronx Johnny giving up Sextravaganza?
Is that what this is all about?
