Shawn Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) The Shawn train pulls out of the Austin station tomorrow evening...as soon as the "Texas death ray" goes down. I should be there sometime late Friday night or early Saturday morning. I'll be hustling around scaring up a room over the weekend, then hitting the pavement first thing next week to find some freelance audio gigs. I'll probably be focusing primarily on the North Hollywood area for lodging. Have gotten a few responses to my ad on craigslist, so hopefully I can schedule time to go see these places on Saturday. If anyone knows some good resources (or temp agencies) that handle live sound reinforcement, AV tech work, etc, please let me know. This is a "skin of my teeth" type move, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Would love to meet some of the "LA branch", give me a holler if you want to get together for coffee or something. I can't wait. I'll go ahead and give you guys my number: 228-282-0810. Edited June 23, 2011 by Shawn Quote
sidewinder Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 I wish you very best wishes with your plans, Shawn ! Quote
jmjk Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 Good luck, Shawn! I think many of us have the desire to re-invent ourselves, and you're living it, dude. Quote
Shawn Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Posted June 14, 2011 How temporary is temporary? I'll send you a PM. Quote
Shawn Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Posted June 23, 2011 updated this thread instead of creating a new one. Quote
jeffcrom Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Good luck, Shawn. I'm really impressed with how you've taken back control of your life. Quote
Shawn Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Posted June 23, 2011 thanks man! I kind of impressed myself too. Quote
Shawn Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Posted June 23, 2011 I've found a room for rent in a large residential house in Sunland, a little farther north than I originally planned, but it's a really good deal and the area looks quite lovely from the photos I've seen (I love mountains). I'll be checking out the house on Saturday. It's a month-to-month deal, so if I want to move later it's easy. Pretty cool how quickly things can come together when you've got a goal and the focus to achieve it. Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Great news, Shawn! Next update will be that you found a gig, I just know it. Quote
paul secor Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Great to see you being adventurous and making some moves. Keep it up. Quote
alankin Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Glad to hear that things are going better. Good luck on your move! Quote
PHILLYQ Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Best of luck to you, as Dan said I hope to hear soon that you have a gig! Quote
jazzbo Posted June 24, 2011 Report Posted June 24, 2011 Shawn is on the road, leaving central Austin at 6:00 a.m. Let's all think positive thoughts that he's in L.A. with no problems by the end of the weekend. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 24, 2011 Report Posted June 24, 2011 Good karma being beamed in from across the pond. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 I heard from Shawn that he arrived safely. A hot and sweaty ride I'm sure. He does have a place to stay. Hopefully he'll update us here. Quote

Shawn Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Posted June 26, 2011 Hey gang, thanks for the good wishes! I did arrive in LA safely, though I do not recommend getting a blow out in the middle of the Arizona desert, not much fun. I'm going out to find a different place to stay tomorrow, the initial room for rent situation ended up not being what I need, so I'm temporarily based at Motel 6 while I regroup and get some places to check out. I'm fine, Pywacket (cat) is fine and southern California is quite lovely, looking forward to being more than "a tourist" real soon. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 Hey gang, thanks for the good wishes! I did arrive in LA safely, though I do not recommend getting a blow out in the middle of the Arizona desert, not much fun. Can't comment about getting a blow (out in the middle of AZ or any other state), but it's good to hear from you. Quote
papsrus Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 Yes, glad you made it. Keep us posted and here's hoping you find some suitable digs before long. Sure you will. Quote
