Stage planning and other developments.

What’s new in the studio this week?

Trina, Pam (plus sister), and Karl came over today and helped finalize the layout for the stage.  It looks like the stage layout will seat about four musicians comfortably – it’s an interesting exercise in figuring out how to fit the lighting, sound, stage curtains, and stage itself all in a small (whoops, I meant to say ‘intimate’) space without feeling crowded.

One exciting thing: Karl pointed out that we could use reclaimed flooring (from Ballard’s Re-store) to build the decking for the stage.  I like this idea much better than using plywood!  It’s going to look better, not require painting, and somehow have a better vibe than playing on plywood.

In other news: I’ve been talking this week with the Seattle Folklore Society – they are interested in producing shows at Empty Sea!  This is exciting news, and I will actually have a show to announce shortly.  Stay tuned…
