Moving to NYC

ShawnRefuse - 5-23-2012 at 10:26 AM

Officially August 1.

And well, it's Brooklyn. But I am excited to start a new chapter in my life.

I am sure after a few months of not having a band I will go stir crazy and start something.

Also looking for a cheap (i know i know) studio space that I can paint in. I use acrylics so no need for anything special like ventilation, etc. Paulie hooked me up with a great guy but I can't afford it right now.

Just looking for a corner in a shared space.

Thanks guys. And Mike when I am down there, we should meet up.

BD, I am transferring for now. A 6 month trial in the NY office (starting Aug 1) where I can network, meet people, etc. If it works out, awesome, if not, I will at least have been down there long enough.

BDx13 - 5-24-2012 at 06:17 AM

that's a great way to play it. like you said, even if it does't work out, at least it got you there and bought you some time.

Paulie just described what I look like in the office every day.

Shawn, Bushwick is getting invaded by hipsters. Not so much at Flushing Ave, but nearby at Morgan Ave on the L. And congrats on the new life developments.

ShawnRefuse - 5-24-2012 at 06:02 PM

My GF lives at the Morgan stop right now, she hates the people it's why we are moving to Flushing 5 blocks away haha.
