I decided to not go to Nashville. I talked to the studio manager and he reassured me that I wouldn’t be able to afford to be there. So I’m sorta back to the drawing board, and I have to find a place to live in less than two weeks.

Here this morning, Boston tonight. We’re driving straight through to Boston today for about 13 hours of driving. That’s gonna be one of our longest drives of the trip so it’ll probably get a little boring at times but I’ll be seeing a lot of places I’ve never seen like Cleveland and upstate New York. Maybe stopping by Cooperstown.
I stopped by Dark Horse Recording studios and was offered an internship in Nashville if I wanted it. We’ll see what happens after talking to some of the grad schools.
Thought for the day: Where did the word doggy bag come from? Everyone uses it, we all know what it means. Yet, why do we say it at every restaurant? It could be referred to as a to-go box, but more people say doggy bag.

Nashville is such a comfortable city. If you’re looking for friendly people, a nice down home country feel to a city, then you probably should look at Nashville. I could imagine that in the spring through end of fall it’s gorgeous here. It’s not too bad in the winter either. What I’ve been amazed at is driving along in the city and feeling like I’m in the country; houses actually have yards!! And everything you wanna do is in Nashville so you definitely wouldn’t get bored.
I’ve visited a few studios and talked to the coordinating engineers that worked at each. I can see that if I wanted to get my start, this could easily be a great place to do it. But on the other hand, I’m just not sure if it’s where I want to be. I know where my passion is with music and it’s not really country music. This city is mainly country and christian music and the latter is what I’ve been into for a little while. But I’m still more interested in visiting LA to see about the music industry in relation with the movie industry. I think LA will also have more opportunity than Nashville does right now. If I were to start here, I’d be paid almost nothing to nothing for the first few months I work here, building my experience and job in the process. I’m not too excited about the prospect of trying to “climb” the ladder either but that seems to be life after any engineer after graduation. It’s the same in LA as well, but I’m looking for a brighter opportunity than starting at nothing. Ask for more details.
I’m pretty much ready to get back up to Denver and finish school. It’ll be extremely busy with the worship CD lingering in the background for the next 4 months. I’m totally pumped and ready to get it going with that project! I just hope everything involved with the project works out in good time.
Today I’m in Nashville, Thursday I’ll be in Houston, Friday I’ll be in Lubbock, and Saturday I’ll be in Denver. So much traveling in so little time. What a life to live, I’ll tell you what! (Gotta be Texan every now and then . . .)
