Steven's Garage

Ever wonder what Steven's home is like?  Well here is a small sample.




The scene is a garage.  Though no trace of a car can be found anywhere within.  The space has been converted into a living area/rehearsal studio.  The walls have been dry walled and finished.  The one window has been blacked out, so that all the light comes from the several track lights which have been installed in the ceiling.  The walls are covered on all sided with pieces of foam, to aid with sound absorption.  Periodically, between the foam tiles, there hang framed, immaculate poster of Rush.  There are also a few Radio Heads.  A large size poster of The Who’s Next album is displayed prominently.  The floor seems to be covered with cords.  Every outlet has multiple adapters coming out of it.  Clearly the room had to have been re wired to handle all this flow.  Some of the cords run to the five four foot tall amps placed around the room.  Others go to the computer and sound board set up in one corner.  Still others go to the forest of effect pedals that seem to be everywhere.  There is a brand new, incredibly couch in the middle.  There are also a few folding chairs and a coffee table.  Everything is immaculate.  Next to the couch is arrayed a line of guitars.  All of them are incredibly expensive looking and very well kept, like everything else in the apartment.  The entire scene looks like a display in a show room.  So clean that you doubt any one lives there.  A mini fridge occupies one corner.  Steven sits on the couch tuning one of the many guitars.  He is using an electronic tuner.  He is wearing incredibly large headphones almost comically so.   Steve tightens one of the strings and sighs.  He is waiting for someone.
