Immortality, at the young age of 28

See for yourself-- Gail's Ale is on tap. It's described as a classic American Ale, sweet and bold, slightly nutty, with a high percentage of alcohol by volume. Just like its namesake. Awwwww.
I've been working on the Dock Street project for as long as my memory span permits. It was so touch and go, that even now as I sit at the bar, drinking a beer named for me, I still think it all may fall to pieces. Zoning took 8 months too long, the building presented a fair few issues, and lets just say the suspense was killing me. Last Sunday a group of big hearted volunteers installed my idea for echo control: a series of fabric panels on the ceiling and some surface treatments on the walls. It's still basically a 3500 sqft concrete bunker, so making it quiet is a pipe dream, but I think it will bring the reverb level from deafening to slightly annoying. I once built a recording studio in a basement using nothing but ikea curtains, so anything is possible.Dock Street is at 50th and Baltimore in the old Firehouse. See below. Contrary to popular belief the neighborhood is not scary, so feel free to go west young people.
