So, I guess it turns out I wasn't lying when I said I was leaving Lafayette. It's a bittersweet breakup but a necessary one all the same. I have some great friends and talented music buddies up there that I shall miss and hope to see again soon, but the commute was slowly killing me (and quickly killing my car). After making up my mind, bumming a room from my 7 year old niece for a month (thanks Pick!), driving around some of the worst parts of Indy trying to find an affordable rental and moving ALL my stuff twice (most of it is still in one piece), here I am.
First post from the new office studio. :-)
**I'm telling my self that this is a guilt-free way to put off unpacking the rest of the stuff that I have no idea where I'm gonna put yet.**
I'm excited to get back to working on music again since it's been a while. And for the first time in, uh, ever I have my own little space to do it that won't get the neighbors seriously contemplating (or actually) calling the cops on me. The next door neighbor has a wood shop in his garage. I'm pretty sure power tools are louder and less entertaining than MIDI programming and badly sung scratch vocal tracks so we can probably come to a compromise about noise levels, lol.
So I guess it's time to actually get down to work since I'm running out of reasonable excuses to continue putting off releasing the first song. Once the updates and installs are ready to go, Ima start peeling the fresh paint off this new place.
~Hector update: (Yes, I talk about my dog more than most people talk about their kids.)
He's learning to like it here. Although I'm pretty sure he thinks heaven is a five acre slice of fenced property that comes equipped with pony studs to play chase with and a side-kick pup that shares his disdain for squirrels. And cool kids that like to dance and "accidentally" drop people food treats for him. Fortunately there is a very nice park a few blocks away to visit and his mom *might* have just signed him up for a doggy meet-up group. He's spoiled, but he ain't rotten.
