1) 10:20AM, 4/11/2013, Around the Adams Quad

2) Cars going by from the direction of the NAB, people talking by Bits & Bytes

3) More people talking, guttural sounds from the stage combat class, I think, (numerous “ugh”s and “agh”s as people are fighting), the clicks/clops of a skateboard going over the cracks between pieces of the sidewalk

4) Sounds of wheels from a skateboard and the sound of it going over cracks as he passes me by, my own sniffling, people’s footsteps and ambient conversations as they pass by

5) Generally low-medium volume with occasional spikes (often from the “ouch I just got hit” sounds from the stage combat class) and low-medium activity (I don’t think too many people are awake yet, or they’re in class)

6) Jabbing

7) The guttural sounds from the stage combat class, the skateboarder, ambient conversations

Listen to

Location: NAB Light Booth, 7:20pm, 4/11/2013

Sounds: Faint vacuum sound, clicking of mouse and keys on a keyboard, Courtney coughing and shuffling her position around in her chair. The loneliness and lack of excitement of the light booth as we wait for rehearsal to start in contrast to the excitement of the vacuuming and last minute set touch-ups going on below us
