    Loving the new set up looks great and the wonky room adds character. I always see you around at TFNation but you always have so many people around you I never want to intrude on your experience. I completely understand your thoughts on your experience at TFN this year, this year was my first TFN since 2019, I only came for the Saturday and I did feel quite overwhelmed, that’s nothing against the convention and the organisation, but it was really busy and being back for the first time in four years did feel overwhelming.

    Hey, Thew! Love the *new* HQ! Great place to do, `hwatcha do. ;)
    (ok, I'll stop now, I promise.)
    With regard to TFNation and your con burnout: We had the same thing happen to us. Chaotic times right before a big 2022 convention, lots of decisions to make prior to going, plans going awry, complications, conumdrums, introvert lockdown feelings... and then by the time we GOT to the convention, we just wanted to go back to the hotel and sleep.
    Fast forward to this year's con. We limited our schedules for the few weeks before the event, kept our calendar as predictable as possible and such. It made the event a much more enjoyable experience, especially since we took it much slower, much more mellow and go-with-the-flow. We're already super hyped for the 2024 version of said event.
    Hope that helps your TFN 24 plans. :)

    See what you need is a drumset with two kick drums, so you can put TOY on one head, and GRIND on the other.
    Also edit, advice from a drummer that plays similar stuff to you that uses 5Bs: play with a 5A in your left hand, and a 5B in your right bat end out. The Nicko McBrain grip is what's helped me get my blast beats right and get my right arm desynced from my right leg while doing blasts and dbeat, AND using the bat on my ride and my fills makes my drumming sound heavy as FUCK. It's like having Lugnut's POKE in a drumstick.

    You may have already considered this, but I think you would benefit a lot from some minimal lighting on the shelves themselves. Just relying on ambient lighting makes the shelves look really shadowy, and kinda defeats the purpose of having anything in the background at all. Even if you could find some tiny strings of LEDs to lay along the top or bottom of each shelf would probably make a big difference.
