Sonic Haiku Attempt One: Bingo. Game Play.

So here it goes. The first sonic haiku attempt of what I'm sure will be many for me this summer. Okay. There are a couple factors that have been a little difficult to work around since I've been back home. The weather. And the fact that I have no car. The sonic haikus that involve recording outside have been hard to start. It has literally been raining and cold for the last week so ice cream shops aren't open, no one wants to golf or sail with me, etc. I tried recording at the dunes the other day when the rain let up but it was so windy still. I really want to find some way to use the material but I am still working that out. However, I talked to my boss (the sailor) and he said he would take me out on the lake when the weather cleared up and I also talked to some people at the yacht club. Excited about that one. In terms of this haiku though, I had no idea what I was getting into. I thought bingo was going to be kind of a smaller event especially in Traverse City. Wrong. There were like two hundred and fity people there. This made it difficult in terms of recording because there was a lot of chatter for getting specific sounds and I couldn't necessarily plan to be around the person who said bingo when it happened. Also each game lasted 40 minutes so I tried to do the best I could with it. I am thinking about going to a bingo event in Cedar because I know for sure that it will be smaller and hopefully more intimate making it easier to get better material. I plan on getting some interviews for this haiku as well. I know that I am kind of off to a slow start but I should be able to pick up the pace after getting a car (by the 19th) and now that I am adjusted and all moved in at home.
Let me know what you think of this one though. There are some nice moments but I'm not really convinced this is what I want. You're input would be great. Thanks so much.
