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.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
