Elliot was amazing with her: patient, fun and encouraging, while giving her brilliant direction. She had an absolute ball, and we all ended up having such a great time as a family. And having Max, Elliot's gorgeous dog, there with us was a highlight -- he is everything! The finished recordings are fantastic -- beautifully produced and completely her. We will treasure them forever.Elliot has a real talent for bringing out the best in people. Such a special experience and one we would wholeheartedly recommend.

He was always on it right away, and worked diligently to get it back up and running as quickly as possible---but sometimes you just have to call it a day with your old hardware and upgrade. I don't regret it! We've stopped losing clients due to outages, so I'm very pleased. I've also asked Dane to come to my company to help with getting our office PCs updated and ready to meet HIPAA compliance standards and he even took care of sending out my personal Macbook for me when the screen stopped working. All I had to do was drop it off and he delivered it to my office after it was repaired! Dane works closely with my own, budding IT guy to give him guidance where needed and checks up on our servers regularly to make sure it's kept up-to-date and working. He even added in some kind of file or something that will give us protection against the dreaded ransomware virus. He's always friendly, personable, explains things at a level where I can understand them, doesn't waste my time, and tries to do his best to get us the exact equipment to meet our needs (instead of one of those guys who encourages you to overspend on things you don't need!). You won't find a better systems admin!

Unfortunately, I couldn't do that this year because my family and I were traveling together in Santa Barbara and Solvang. However, I still got to decide where to go, so I decided to find the nearest record store after our lunch. This is the first one that popped up on my Yelp search, and I can see why. This place isn't that big but carries some really hard to find items, at least the stuff that I like. I found some old records from the 80s that I couldn't find at any other place near where I live. I found Ministry's "With Sympathy" and Stryper's "Soldiers Under Command." There were many other rare items that I wanted to buy but I had to keep my my budget in check. Store was well organized by genre. The owner was friendly and fun to talk to. Will have to come back here on my next visit to Santa Barbara. Because my kids were with me, I couldn't spend too much time in the store. I will just send my wife and kids to the museum across the street while I browse here.
