I'm not sure yet. I know it's something I'm interested in though.

Question: Why'd you pick the Nashville location over Miami?

[Gustin]

The location in Miami is geared a lot more towards electronic music and the major club scene that's down there. Recording kind of takes a backseat.


I was supposed to leave and fly to my grandparents this morning at 5:00. The airline called at 1:30 (0_o) to tell me that my flight was cancelled and I was rebooked to late tonight. Sweet. I just lost a day of vacation.

[Rainer.]

Ouch. I dislike flying for all the hassle, but it's still the fastest way to get from point a to point b.

Time to buy a private jet, right?

[Gustin]

Actually, I almost became a pilot too

I love flying. My drummer has a pilots license so he takes me up and lets me fly from time to time.

I'm at the airport now. 2 hours early. Thankfully they have free wifi!

[Rainer.]

Bah, I hate it that my airport doesn't have free wi-fi.

How far did you get with your piloting?

[Gustin]

I was in an organization called C.A.P. Basically ROTC for the airforce. They would do fly days where you would basically take lessons. Once you reached a certain rank, you could get your private pilot's license. The military aspect of it turned me off a bit (I don't really know why though... thinking about it I actually did enjoy parts of it). I can fly decently, but I never got any extensive training as far as landing and taking off and emergency procedures. It was always too windy to do any landing stuff.

[Rainer.]

Ah, yeah, I have a friend in Civilian Air Patrol, his dad is a commercial jet pilot.

Civil Air Patrol..

I love flying too. If I would have stayed in Alaska and my dad kept his flying job (he lost his job at Northwest Airlines after 9/11), I'm sure I'd be getting my pilots license soon.

He did get recalled back to the airline recently, but he's going to finish up his military career first and then go back to doing what he loves.

[Gustin]

Yeah, it was pretty fun. Life started picking up so I couldn't really keep up with it.

I'd still love to get my pilot's license someday. Other things are top priority though unfortunately.

[Gustin]

Well, I'm in New York. A mere 20 minutes or so away from Natedawg#'s house actually.

My grandparents place is really dusty. My nose does not like it.

I bought two seasons of M*A*S*H yesterday for 17 dollars! Wee!

[Rainer.]

You should get them a Swiffer.

[Gustin]

Haha. It's more a problem with the dust inside the furniture .


Guess what! I have an address for Nashville!!

339 Hickory Hollow Terrace,
Antioch Tn. 37013

[Rainer.]

I drove around all Nashville so much when I was there, I actually have an idea of where that is.

[Gustin]

It's pretty close to US24. It's right off of Bell Road and pretty close to Murfreesboro Rd.

[Rainer.]

I find things in Nashville relative to what pike you go down to get there.

I feel pro going around that city now. When I was there with my parents, I was dubbedofficial navigator.

Mostly because my parents don't know where they're going most of the time.
