Phil O'Keefe Posted August 21, 2005 Author Posted August 21, 2005 "We live to make you splurf. It is our solemn duty. "- Phil O'Keefe******************************Tedster, if you're going to quote me, please try to get it right, okay? I did get a chuckle out of that post.
Members Tedster Posted August 21, 2005 Members Posted August 21, 2005 Okay...I "paraphrased" you. At least I got the solemn part right :DBTW...Deb and the girls are out your way...they're in West Hollywood. I think the girls are having more fun sightseeing than they would apartment searching If they do in fact land an apartment...I might be driving out there in a few weeks to bring 'em a car. We'll play it by ear...

Too bad you don't have a reggae band booked...you know... smoke 'em out? Someone said that about having Bunny and FoxTick come down. Except for that after that kind of smoking out, the bees would be invading Phil's cupboards, looking for Doritos and stuff.
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 21, 2005 Author Posted August 21, 2005 That was me Tedster... heck I go from being misquoted to having my name completely forgotten, all in one day... I heard they were down here buddy... If you (or they) need anything, just give a shout. You've got my numbers... make sure the girls do too. And if you CAN come for a visit...

You've got my numbers... make sure the girls do too. And if you CAN come for a visit... Thanks, Phil. And if I do come, I'll make sure to bring a can of Raid or something. Another tip I remember from the beekeeper is to wear light colored clothing...white or very light, when you're around bees. You'll notice that beekeepers' outfits are usually white. According to this guy, it's because bees associate dark figures moving toward them with bears, which are obviously an animal that gives a lot of grief to bees. Seeing something light colored puts them at ease.
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 21, 2005 Author Posted August 21, 2005 When we discovered them, I was wearing black pants and a bright tie died shirt... that, in conjunction with this......and my allergies, and I might as well have painted a target on my butt. Thanks for the tip... and please let me know as soon as you know when you're going to come out.
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 21, 2005 Author Posted August 21, 2005 News Flash! The bees seem to have relocated! I just went out and scanned the bush / tree with my binoculars, and I don't see them anymore. There's still the occasional few who fly up to the location, but they seem to then move along after they notice the colony has moved.Yay!
Members Mr. Botch Posted August 21, 2005 Members Posted August 21, 2005 Phil, before they left I hope you had a chance to capture them with your best shotgun mic and record a bit. Might make a good soundtrack for, oh, say a documentary where photos of Bob Marley leap off the wall and attack Boosh or something.

I hate to admit this Botch, but actually, I don't even OWN a shotgun mic.
Members Mr. Botch Posted August 22, 2005 Members Posted August 22, 2005 I'm just guessing that's what you'd use... there's room here for a pun about using a Blue Bottle on flies but I can't quite reach it...
Members gearmike Posted August 22, 2005 Members Posted August 22, 2005 Originally posted by Phil O'Keefe I don't even OWN a shotgun mic. Yeah, but I'm sure you've got a shotgun in there some where! You and James were having too much fun last time we were out!
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Originally posted by gearmike Yeah, but I'm sure you've got a shot gun in there some where! You and James were having too much fun last time we were out! I really dig James - a GREAT guy! Please pass along my regards and compliments the next time you see him. And yes, there's a couple of shotguns in the safe - a Remmington 870 and a Browning FN Auto 5. But somehow I don't think they'd quite do the job on a swarm of bees... unless the job you were trying to do was to REALLY tick 'em off!
Members Spencer Crewe Posted August 22, 2005 Members Posted August 22, 2005 Fill a SuperSoaker with battery acid....with substantial pumping, you should be able to get them quite easily. Just try not to get any on the house itself: bad things happen. Cheers! Spencer
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Spencer, my wife kept getting all gung-ho on me and threatening to go out there with two cans of wasp spray and kick all of their butts... Fortunately, I talked her out of that idea. I wasn't looking forward to having to go out there through a hail of bees and drag her back to safety.
Members offramp Posted August 22, 2005 Members Posted August 22, 2005 See, this whole thing is a marketing opportunity just waiting to be tapped. "...it can truly be said that Sanctuary Sound is the bee's knees!" Wonder if you could claim that Sting recorded there.
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 "For tracks so sweet that they're dripping in honey (literally), we're the place to go."
Members Spencer Crewe Posted August 23, 2005 Members Posted August 23, 2005 *groan*That is all. Cheers!Spencer
Members offramp Posted August 23, 2005 Members Posted August 23, 2005 If you did a lot of post, then you could truly claim audio sweetening as a service offered.
Members Robman2 Posted August 23, 2005 Members Posted August 23, 2005 Well until they depart your on the Atkins plan...
