On May 18, Techiya went to the Wellspring Sound recording studio in Acton to record its second album (the previous one had been available as a cassette tape only. Yes, this is an MIT group we're talking about). This was a few days after I'd finally gotten my own digital camera, and as you'll see, I was still learning how to use it.

	When we met to drive to the studio, it was pouring rain in huge drenching buckets. We didn't let that dampen our spirits, ho ho!
	Minutes after leaving, the rain had turned to sleet. Then to snow. There was noticeable accumulation by the time we reached the studio. Late May, remember. Pay no attention to the audio track on this .avi. Really.
	Recording in a professional studio turns out to be enormously fun. That microphone in front of Becca (conducting, foreground at right) was worth $12,000. Is, I mean. Is worth. Shh.
	When I say "enormously fun", I mean "more fun than we appear to be having here".
	"I sound like what?"
	No, we didn't kill him. He does this at every rehearsal.
	The control room was this blurry in real life.
	Our recording engineer, Nicholas Cage, took this photo of us at the end of the session. We weren't trying to look tired.
