There is something to be said about the functional purposes of DJ and production gear.  Gear is designed to be multipurpose these days, and one item can usually take the place of two previous items if used cleverly.  A MIDI controller is great example of a small device that can take on many roles.  One of these linked to a computer can eliminate the need for a sequencer, a drum machine, and a recording device.  Older gear is not as versatile and can be stubbornly glued to its initial purpose.  An old school reel to reel tape recorder is large and hard to move, yet many producers will still hang onto something that has emotional value. Geardo producers who take pride in their excess of gear will usually have a mix of old and new gear.  The new gear takes top spot in any public setting, but once you dig into the homes of these producers you find out where the rest of the gear is actually hidden.  Some of these people would actually be very embarrassed if all of their gear was ever revealed.  Some of it never gets any use, but simply cannot be sold due to the timeless attachment they have built towards it.  http://www.musicradar.com/news/dj/me-in-my-studio-mumdance-575768/2

I sometimes get bothered when a musician or hobbyist spends too much time searching for the right gear, and not enough time actually playing the gear.  I think in the consumer world that we live in; we tend to blame the problems on technology – or the technology that does not yet exist.  It’s like having a MIDI controller in a DJ’s rig.  We get the controller because we don’t want to have to deal with out laptop keyboards, but then we need a place to set the controller down.  So we find a stand and hunker it down.  Now we feel limited that we can’t move it and decide that the solution here is to buy a wireless controller. So we basically went from being lazy to becoming needy in the same process.  I am delighted to see musicians using television trays and other household objects to rest their gear on.  This means that they have put the money where it really counts, and that is back into their pocket.  Instead of spending money, they have spent their equally valuable time.  Both are things that we can never really have enough of, but time is probably the most important when it comes to making music. http://www.attackmagazine.com/features/my-studio/archie-pelago/

This is us. The Gearzone. Nice-looking and wonderful. Thanks to a very nice young man (Really, thanks a lot!) I could dress up in AOR2, which is basically one of my favorite camouflage patterns. I also had a Crye Precision JPC in Multicam, a hydration backpack in AOR1 and an Ops Core Fast Ballistic. Some more little things to get a well-rounded result. All in all, quite nice stuff and very nice-looking. I don't really wanna talk about all the blah blah (organisation of the game, implementation of the game, result of the game...). I just don't wanna talk about the game. Believe me, it wasn't the most interesting part of the weekend. I can only reveal that our team, called the "Beer thieves", was victorious in the end. My favorite moments really were the "Let's just watch this" moments. I mean, if you have gear you can sit down in the middle of the game. It doesn't matter if you're playing or chilling around, you look great anyway. By the way, it wasn't me who realized this, I just adopted this point of view. Because it's true. Sure, people can complain "This isn't the sense of the game!" or people can ask "So why are you participating then?". This won't bother a geardo. While being in-game someone asked us "What are you doing?". A Gearzone member answered "We just sit here. Go on playing, don't worry about us.". He obviously was baffled how anyone could undermine his authority (or the authority he loved to have). "But we need people to sentinel the flag we captured.", he said again. I was unable to stifle a laugh when my mate replied calmly "Oh, I think you guys can make it alone.". The face of the player was priceless. After listening to this short but interesting discussion we watched dozens of players walking, fighting and hiding near us. If we had played Bullshit Bingo, we would have had a winner after only an hour. Even better was watching the "final battle". Hundreds of players running towards each other, without any places to hide, without a strategy, without sense. I wasn't sure if this was more sad than funny, but yes, it definitely was funny. I couldn't stop taking photos. We saw people having the peace sign on their Flecktarn field blouse. We saw people running around with a sniper scope mounted on their MP5. We saw people playing "Call of Duty"-like with their pistol in one hand and a knife in the other hand. But the knife wasn't a knife, it was a pink... um, well... toy. I will stop reporting here. As you can see, we found loads of people which perfectly would have fitted into our Bullshit Bingo. In retrospect, it is quite sad that we didn't play Bingo. We would have had even more fun watching. To sum up: The "Beerzone" was the first big event for me. It wasn't that great considering the people walking around and showing coarse manners on the campground. Nevertheless, I looked good. (Thanks again to my savior!) Maybe next year I'll participate again. I don't really expect to have fun playing. But I hope that I'll be able to bring my own wonderful gear then. Saludos, Lola.

It is not “cheap chinese russian knockoff shit from Amazon”, you uncultured fuck. This gear has seen more shit than you will in your entire life. Just because I chose not to spend $500 on some special fucking pouch for a “Navy SEAL Operator Impression” doesn’t mean that you can tell me that I can’t attend the group’s games because my stuff’s “too old”. And no, an SKS is not a “muzzleloader for fags”.
