As many– nay– all of Hobo’s faithful adherents should know by now, at the end of 2007, Hobo took over the adjacent space and expanded.  In the process, we got ourselves a beautiful new lounge space and a third top-notch studio.  Head on over to our tour page for a look!

And, for your viewing pleasure, Bennett finally got all the pictures out of his old cameraphone and realized he had some great shots on there of the initial cutting-through-the-wall-and-general-mess-making phase of things.  Enjoy!

(and yes, for those of you keeping score, the title of this post is indeed a Ronald Reagan quote) 

Hobo Audio is happy to welcome The History Channel to our studios, where they’ve been hard at work creating some mega-mixes for some mega-series: Prehistoric Megastorms and Monster Quest! Air dates will be announced when they’re available.

Also, don’t forget to tune in to Rescue Chef Saturdays at noon on the Food Network, also mixed by your friends at Hobo!

For those of you that have been on the official Hobo Audio tour, you probably ‘get’ the cartoons that appear throughout our site. For those of you that haven’t, a) what are you waiting for?! and 2) here’s the story:

Since Hobo’s inception, it has always been a goal of ours (please forgive my marketing-speak) not just to provide the most comfortable place that can fulfill all your recording needs, but also to establish a culture around here that affects all the work we do. What kind of culture, you may ask? Well, we haven’t quite settled on a buzzword/phrase to characterize it quite yet (’scrumtrilescence‘ comes to mind)… but a very large aspect of what we’re all about is to compliment our amazing work with an incredibly fun environment in which to get your work done. (We’ve had more than a handful of clients stick around well after their session is done because they prefer our office to theirs!) So… when the studio was originally being constructed, Howard called on an old friend / storyboard artist to paint the tall, bare, white walls in our lounge with a comic strip… and thus, Audioman and Glitch were born. In between sessions, we’ve been having some fun elaborating on and continuing the story through recordings, which we’ve been turning into podcasts and will periodically appear on our site. You’ve been warned…

I’ve always wanted to send out holiday pictures in the style of a 1920s-era basketball team, but never was able to convince anyone… until I started working at hobo. We’ve got the behind-the-scenes pix of the photo shoot for our 2007 holiday card on our Flickr page (taken in the soon-to-be-built Studio C!):

Happy holidays and best wishes for an amazing ‘08 from all of us at hobo!
