I just came across this huge trove of old gig and Premier Music pictures.

terrifying is more like it. Plus we found out that my wife was pregnant with our son a couple of weeks into it. 2004-2005 were cray years.

Carpet came a few weeks after we opened on August 9th

My father-in-law built our front counter as a "house warming" gift

Once I started getting the big room built we had our first classes

When we got the sign

After Jacob was born we had a crib behind the counter for a couple of years.

A great pic with my Dad that I found with these;

big room once it was painted and carpet was put in

We have retail!

Cool stuff, man Very cool that there's family history in it too

You look a lot like your dad Mark.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Cool! How long ago was all that?

 

[Mark Wein]

Thanks guys.

That was all in the summer of 2004 to the summer of 2005.

An insane year.

Mark that is really, really, cool. You have some great talents being able to setup the framing work, dry wall and taping. That is skill I do not have and was to young when my father passed to have learned it.

Very cool

tbh I didn't have any skills when we started, and way too many when it was finished.

My wife especially liked the pictures of the crib. Lots of memories there.
