New Endeavors

I'm moving on, as they say, although no major milestone has yet to be turned over.  I actually took the last week more or less off from musical adventures since I think I needed a break.  We're also finishing up some of our house updates and I allowed myself to focus on that solely rather than polluting my brain with mixes.  I also recently got a semi-promotion at work and I'm onboarding two new contractors.  The task of onboarding is fine but I was given very little direction so there's tons of note taking, emailing, meetings, escalating, and all the while trying to do the job I used to do.  In short, it's exhausting so I'm near collapsing at the end of my shift and the idea of trying to be creative seems completely ludicrous.

I did have my second Skype meeting with MWP (Marty Willson-Piper) today and it went extremely well.  I think we have a plan, which is fantastic, and a very workable plan it is.  I'm terribly excited about the possibilities.  I also reached out to two other pro level musicians from bands that I grew up listening to and have huge respect for in hopes of collaborating on some level.  I'm feeling good about the direction overall and I think it'll kick things up a notch or two for me in general.

I'm also intending to start posting band ads locally to see if I can get something started.  I've been toying with a couple of band ideas for quite some time and I think now might be the right moment to start dabbling.  More to come on this in the future.  I can only imagine that finding the right members will take quite a bit of work but fingers crossed.

Lastly, I think the time might soon be approaching to consider starting an actual website once again, this time done "correctly", and if so, this blog will most likely be moving to that site.  I don't want to jump the gun but I do foresee that happening in the next 6 months or so.  Merch may also be on the near horizon shortly.
