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.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
