Nine objects currently living in my tote bag, my studio rack, or my long-suffering friends' apartments. Some are audio tools. Some are cardboard. All of them have opinions about how a Tuesday night should go. If you've ever watched me set up a 4-hour euro game while your risotto gets cold, you already know the vibe.

Gear that survives my dinner parties — 4 items
Name	Item	Category	Where I Got It	My Take
1Shure SM7B	Shure SM7B	Studio microphone	B&H Photo Video, 420 9th Ave, New York, NY 10001	Everyone acts shocked this needs a cloudlifter. It's not a secret. READ THE SPEC SHEET. Sounds like a warm hug anyway.
2Focusrite Scarlett 2i2	Focusrite Scarlett 2i2	Audio interface	Guitar Center, 25 W 14th St, New York, NY 10011	Industry default for a reason. Boring. Reliable. The Werther's Original of interfaces.
3Brass Boom Arm	Heavy-duty boom arm	Studio accessory	Sweetwater online, ships to Brooklyn	Spent two years with a mic stand slowly drooping onto my forehead mid-session. Never again. Buy the springs that actually hold weight.
4Gloomhaven	Gloomhaven	Board game	The Compleat Strategist, 11 E 33rd St, New York, NY 10016	A legacy campaign game that eats SIX HOURS and your will to live. I bring it to dinner parties specifically to watch people regret inviting me.
