Loading the gear off Todd's truck into the orchid farm studio

Loading in again, with Ryan, studio owner 'Jimbo', and Todd

Assessing the situation, Christopher and the back of Todd's head

Christopher setting up and tuning his drums

Todd setting up the recording gear

Ryan and Bill waiting for everybody else

Christopher's kit mic'd up

Christopher's overhead mics

The ProControl console and a sandwich

Todd and a FocusRite plug-in

2 ProSonus 8-channel mic preamps, Glyph-mounted 2 x 9GB drives, and two ProTools 888/24s

Todd, Bill, and Ryan discussing a new turnaround in "Repeat"

7-hour days for me looked a lot like this

The road where we play frisbee, and our pal 'jimbo'

Roadside sign

Ryan and Christopher working on an interview (on dual PowerBooks!)

Geckos in da house!

Mics for recording Ryan's voice - one for normal stuff, the other for special stuff

Ev learns ProTools on Todd's own ProControl console

All that unused analog gear... sigh...

Ryan referring to new lyrics on Microsoft Word

The man himself
