patrick_dont_fret Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Cool deal, man. Ah, New Orleans...my home town. When can I move in? I haven't been there in 10 years, so I need to go back. Road trip!!! Anywho, congrats on your purchase. Does that count as GAS, since you're putting in a studio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie Z Posted January 10, 2003 Author Share Posted January 10, 2003 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for all of the fun gushing about my exciting event! The Act of Sale was this past Wednesday (day before yesterday) at 3pm. The homeowner still has a few things that they are removing from the house, so we haven't started moving anything in yet. The house is in Kenner, which is a close suburb of New Orleans. It's the city where you fly in to at the Louis Armstrong International Airport (formally known as New Orleans International, but recently changed.) I grew up in New Orleans proper, but I consider this whole area "metro New Orleans" which is what everyone calls the "tri-parish area". Orleans, Jefferson & St. Bernard. Yes, the house has a guest room! And I can't make any promises about any damn cooking! Given a recipe, I can do a fair job. Maybe as a homeowner now, I will take some cooking lessons. I am not adverse to that. My husband wouldn't mind. He is a great cook. He is originally from India, and has been known to whip up a delicious batch of bhajia and follow up with sweet and delicious kheer! New Orleans is a great town for a road trip, and I definately extend the offer that anyone coming to town can come for a "visit." I'll have to meet you once or twice first before we do any sleep-overs! I am always happy to take someone to the French Quarter for some Cafe' Au Lait and Beignets at the Cafe Du Monde'. I Love Nu Awlins! And... once the rehearsal room is finished, of course, we would have to JAM! So, in closing for this particular post, THANKS AGAIN for the positive energy you have passed my way! I'll keep you posted on further developments. ...

bassmantmaj Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Congratulations on your house, Connie! You'll love being a new home owner, I know I did....until stuff starts to break or go bad, then you'll wish you could call the landlord to come fix it!! Nah, it's all good. Good luck on your music room, and keep us informed!! "Remembers being small, laying under the table and dreaming...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Jew Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Home ownership... It's beautiful. Congrats, Connie. My wife and I bought our first home in August -- 5 bedrooms, three floors. After living in a little, two-room apartment for almost 10 years, we're still trying to adjust to the space and having to do our own repairs. For example, we have to use walkie-talkies to communicate when I'm in my studio (third floor) and she's in the living room (first floor)... It's kinda ridiculous. I think you'll probably need to hook up a flashing light/intercom thingy for your rehearsal room in order to know when your husband needs you or if you have an incoming phone call. And yeah, Home Depot or Lowe's will now be getting all of youe money. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sweet Willie_ Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Congratulations, Connie! My wife and I just bought our first home this past spring -- a mixture of joy and pain. Actually, as I write this in my basement office, there are electricians on the other side of the basement drilling holes and running wires to hook up our flood control system that the prior owners screwed up... Anyway, best wishes. And really, it's been more joy than pain being a homeowner. I'm certainly envious of the garage/rehearsal studio. We've got a decent garage, but unfortunately we need to use it to store stuff and keep our cars out of the Chicago winter elements! Peace. --sweets spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!

Hey Sweets, The mental image of music and computer equipment in a basement that has a "flood control system" wacked me out. Is everything on a floating table? Does your amp wear a life jacket? That word "flood" is just not in my vocabulary.... Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

I lived in Arabi for the first 8 years of my life, wherein my father was transferred up here to Memphis, and I have been here for the past 10 years. I really want to go back, maybe for Mardi Gras (when is it this year? I can never remember). Anywho, I'm an excellent cook, but don't expect to ever see me with a recipe book. It's all from inspiration, which is hardly what I can say about my bass playing these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs any furniture but stools that can double for recording. Paint, yeah, spray paint. Landscaping, ha! She lives in New Orleans, remember. If you do anything to landscape, you're just going to have to do it again after the next hurricane season is over. Geez, man. Yeah, flood protection is a must.
