The Outpost Cafe / Re: i am sick of NY
« on: March 21, 2012, 06:34:16 PM »
I for one am very glad to be back East, and back in NYC. My situation is not typical but no need to get into that on an open forum.
as others have said, there are plenty of things that can wear on you here, but the same was true in Vermont (isolated and f*** cold)
in Santa Fe (skip it- it is absolutely the most messed up place I've been!!) and even Austin (it's getting just a leeetle bit too cool for it's own good) Plenty of good to great musicians though,yet was never asked to play more free gigs, "benefits" etc. tough to break in, especially if you just aren't a Western type of person-like me!! having said that,I think everyone should check it out (Austin) for sure.

A Rick is one significant brand missing in my closet....would love to study the construction up close.
Also a Gibson Triumph w/ a three post bridge ( not the 40 lb. original LP) already have one of those!!

Hey birdie, are you in NY now?
Trust me, you really don't want to know the history.
I will trust you on that. Still staying at sister in law's house an hour north, as we don't have a kitchen, or a bathroom on our floor. Plus no shop, as the basement is full of all the work men's stuff...
Maybe another 3 weeks before we are able to unpack!!
15000 pounds was the weight of the move
. Of that, maybe 1000 is mine.....jeesh
