House party

This weekend, a bunch of family and friends came over to the house to help assemble, move, and secure furniture. Ken, Eric, Ang, Carlos, Lucia, Michael, Cindy--some of them may not feel like they did that much, but having extra hands is what made the afternoon easy. When we were setting up the stereo components, Eric observed, "All this has been replaced by a tiny iPod." So true, but I really want to have a space dedicated to a record player, vinyl, and speakers--somewhere that you can chill, listen to music, and peruse liner notes or album cover art. And in the end music is meant to be soaked in and/or shared--not just heard on headphones while plowing through email, paying bills, or cleaning up the house and shrunken down to the smallest, most convenient size, right?
