That's rough with the moving company, hope you're getting some sort of comp out of that or at least a bad review to try and convince people not to use them. You're going into nursing school? In Kentucky? That seems like a hard shift from what you were doing in the northwest? Either way, it seems like you're ready for whatever's next, stop by Pubski sometime!
Moving thing got worse before it got better. Don't want to bore with details, but long story short, yes, we got a comp, but then had to apply it directly to an insane shuttle fee. And then I had to threaten them with shitty yelp reviews and small claims court. Bad news all over the place. If you ever move your shit across country... actually, just don't. Burn it in a big goodbye bonfire and start your life anew (aside: one upside to living without any of your shit for two months is that it's a great reminder of how little you actually need). Nursing school in Kentucky. I know, man. Re. Kentucky- been looking for a smaller town for a while, and my wife wanted to be closer to family, and I insisted that anywhere we move feel vaguely West Coastish. Kentucky as a whole is obviously pretty red, but Louisville is its own little progressive enclave. I mean, all my neighbors have asked me where we're going to church, so we're not talking fuckin' Amsterdam here. But it's still a really cool town, and I think it's going to get even better in the next couple decades. Also, this is beautiful country. And you can get good bourbon for like $25 a bottle. Re. nursing school- kids. They have a way of forcing you to grow up. Can't really afford to just play music and hustle around radio stations anymore. Need to find something that pays decent, offers benefits and that I'm at least mildly interested in. That's not how I'll phrase it on my school app. When are you making the move to Washington? That still in the works?
That's cool, I never would have guessed that Louisville is a progressive place, but I don't know much about Kentucky in general. I'm glad you've found a place that seems to fit what you're looking for and $25 bourbon sounds amazing. What, are you trying to say that radio stations don't pay all the bills? That's crazy talk. I'm moving to Washington in ~3.5 weeks, just got approved for an apartment in Tacoma three days ago so things are finally moving forward with this. More or less decided that weeknights will be spent in Tacoma and Olympia, and weekends in Seattle.
