We just finished up the final mix for Reggie Watts upcoming TV special Why Shit So Crazy?!, in which the beatboxing comedian plays D&D, speaks with Aliens, rides a tricycle, and somehow manages to keep people laughing through forty minutes of stand-up performance without ever really telling a joke. Seriuosly this guy is amazing. Watch his show when it airs next month on Comedy Central, or grab the DVD scheduled for release on May 18th and enjoy in glorious 5.1 surround sound.

Rockstar Silver Sound engineer REED ADLER ran the sound system for the NYC LAB SCHOOL auction. It's letters like these that make us smile :) TASTES, here we come!

Hi Reed,

It was great to meet you!  Thanks for all your help Friday night.  You did a tremendous job for us and we really appreciate it!  And it was a pleasure to work with you!  I know that another member of the committee, Laurie Marvald, was so impressed that she'll be hiring Silver Sound for a large event the school has coming up in June.  It's similar to the Taste of Tribeca, but is called TASTES and it's outside in the meatpacking district.

So, just wanted to say thanks for everything!

Best,
Sara Kimbell
