I'm Moving

So I made it official today, I'm moving to Austin, TX. I sent in the rental application and paid the application fee, so Texas, here I come!

After 5 years of going to college and working in Asheville, I'm going to miss all my good friends. The bands I've played in and the good memories I have...but it's time to take the training wheels off and really see what I'm made of. I'm lucky enough to have had a steady job for the last 7 months so I have some money saved up, and I have a place with some friends arranged in Austin so I'm not living with total strangers.

Why Austin? Well, some of you know I'm into music, and Austin is a hotbed for live music (self titled "Live Music Capital of the World). I got my degree in Music Technology (live and studio audio engineering) so hopefully I can get into the scene quickly. My four goals to achieve before I'm 30, and I know how idealistic they sound:

#1: Open a recording studio

#2: Be in a nationally touring band

#3: Become a stand-up comedian

#4: Find the woman of my dreams

I'm nervous and excited and every other emotion you can possibly imagine! I'll still visit the huddle, for sure.

One last thing, I have a show at Tremont in Charlotte on Sunday, Jan 16th, so if anyone wants to come check out my band and hang out, let me know and I can arrange tickets. It's a battle of the bands and we're likely to go on pretty early (like 5 or 6pm).

I have a buddy who lives in Austin and pretty much is trying to get into the exact same thing as you with the recording studio stuff. He did an internship at some awesome studio in Tenn. that I know nothing about but apparently he got to meet some pretty cool famous people. Anyways, he lives in Austin right now and Id be happy to give you his info if you are just lookin for someone to jam/talk about the industry with.

He has one downfall though, hes a saints fan :)

Ya boo, I don't know many people down there so that'd be cool! Maybe let him know how I got in contact with him before I do...haha

haha yeah no problem, i will go ahead and send him a message on fb. He is our age, originally from New Orleans, REALLY REALLY into guitars and music.

Really nice guy and would totally be down for going to get a beer or whatever. He was out here earlier this year for the Saints/Panthers home game, which I wouldnt even call a game, just an embarrassing ass whomping.

I definitely got him drunk as hell the entire time he was here though :)

Sounds good, I'll be down there early Feb. Will need some time to get settled fo sho.

From what everyone has told me, as a talented musician, I'll have my pick of musicians to play with. It's more or less slim pickings in Asheville unless you are into electronica, bluegrass, or jammy kinda stuff.
