As My Dumb Luck Would Have It
I got a call at 11:30 yesterday morning saying that my practice space was flooding. I managed to get in there for a second to haul most of my stuff out of my space (which had 3-4 inches of water on the floor and was dark—thankfully the power was out) before busting ass over to Town Hall for Andy’s memorial.
Long story short, I’m looking a space to put my stuff, appraise the water damage and quite possibly store it. Do you know of such a space? Possibly on the cheap, even?
Thanks in advance for any leads.

In Product Development at Sub Pop—MusicGnome
MusicGnome is a yard gnome that plays music. It is a new way to release records. The music is pre-recorded and cannot be changed nor downloaded. Like an album, the sequence of the music cannot be altered, and—because it is a semi-portable music player—the device controls only play, pause, skip, volume, and scarecrow functions. The idea is that each gnome contains one album.
MusicGnome’s audio output and battery charger are shared in one jack, and the gnome can be dressed in the theme of the album art, or to otherwise correspond with the intent behind it. It sits in your lawn. It plays music through an appropriately proportioned fiddle. The casing is made of ceramic or wood.
The retail cost will be about the same as buying a CD and a yard gnome.
