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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
