Juterphusion prepares to take the next step

Juterphusion... sonAnthony Thompson is about to graduate. His plan has always been to be able to make a living from Juterphusion Recording Solutions after graduation, and his recent news indicates that he is certainly heading in that direction:
Just wanted to tell you things are progressing, I am even graduating on time; to boot. I have a great mix disc of the RAT from the performances of Melody [Gardot] and up[-and-]comer John Dutton. I will try to get you a copy ASAP because you probably will be impressed. The total amount of shows for TCNJ is 84 :) and Ms. [Jessica] Valiente [of Los Mas Valientes] is actually a music professor at MSU, so this is great.
I have indicated a willingness to invest further in Juterphusion as a result of this progress. Not a LOT, but how much can a teacher really fork over? I'm fulfilling the role of the micropatron; someday soon Juterphusion will outgrow me.

Gardot has a terrific, professional site redesign, by the way.

And Valiente gives Anthony valuable advice:
Let's say you do a job for me in Philly, nearly 2 hours drive, and it's a 4-hour gig. Getting paid your rate for travel and the gig brings you up to still only $160, and if you have an assistant that you're paying $15/hour, it's less than $300. You're definitely worth more money than that--keep in mind for these kinds of jobs you're using your own equipment and your own vehicle, and these are all expensive items that have to be maintained.
