As some of you know we're relocating Easton Guitars here in Fort Worth and we've been moving into a new place for a couple weeks now. Well...there's a funny story that came up because of it. The original space we were moving into, I say WERE because... well the landlord got pisst off and well...we had to find a new place. Kicked out before we even opened up!!! All I did was fire up the stack one day and play a couple bars of Crazy Train!! I asked the guy when I signed the paperwork if he minded noise and lots of it. "Nah, you won't bother the folks around you. If so they'll have to get over it" I remember it very well. Should have written it down in the contract. Either way, within 48 hours after that, not even fully moved in, he tore up the agreement and well...we're on the road again. No big deal, most everything was yet to be unpacked. But I've gotta go rip out the wall hangers and stuff and move em down the road. Kinda feeling gypsy right now. We found a bigger place, little more cash, nicer area and it's in writing on the contract that dam near anything below jet take offs are ok with the management! In fact, the landlord plays guitar, kinda cool. Maybe I can work a trade during the lean months!
The new place used to be a pizza parlor about a year ago so we've gotta gut it and start from the concrete and replace a lot of stuff. I was wanting stainless steel walls but hey, think I'll save that cash for beer money and just paint it after I bleach the smell of pizza outta the place!! Pepperoni and black olives don't smell to sweet after a year in the heat. EEK! Either way, we'll make it work.
The moral of the story....get it in writing if you're going to annoy the neighbors and never trust a landlord who looks like opie taylor.
Long Live LOUD Rock and Roll!
