I fly out of Oakland. I interviewed for one of the top stores in the DC/MD/VA region during the weekend and was offered the position yesterday. And I took it.

Los Angeles and North Carolina strung me along!

East Coast EB Meetup.

Enjoy your Blade Runner subways. I sort of hate DC, but I'm glad you made a big life change and came closer to Tauntaun and I.

Dude, the air quality I've been living in has been way, way worse. Take a look:

That is all smoke and smog right there. It's so gross right now.

Eric P and I can go see a triple feature of THE DARK CRYSTAL, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and LABYRINTH!

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #13 on:** July 01, 2008, 11:44:20 AM »

It is a mixture of mostly smoke from the wildfires and smog from dirty pollutants. The air quality is killing my asthma. I'd settle for humidity at this point.

It's disgusting. And that picture was taken from my cameraphone, so I'm in the middle of it.

Why're you moving? Weren't you planning to go to some Art College in SF?

Eric P · « **Reply #25 on:** July 01, 2008, 06:03:09 PM »

go to baltimore if you're looking for art colleges

not DC

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #26 on:** July 01, 2008, 08:15:26 PM »

I'm not looking to go back to art college. I deviated from that path awhile ago when I embraced that I was a writer and wanted to expand on film knowledge.

California has its perks. The Bay Area is pretty neat, minus the awful air quality. But my social circle is collapsing and family is non existant. I've had a LOT of personal troubles, of which some here can attest to, to the point where I think I need a change of scenery pretty badly. I've been downright miserable the past several weeks.

I will be relocating to luxurious Montgomery County, Maryland - which is where I was born and raised. It's a suburb of Washington D.C. I will be taking over a store in the same county, probably on the 16th or 17th.

Eric P and RoboJ should hit me up when I'm there (I already IM'd, RoboJ). If you want to get together before I leave, let me know, Cohen. Otherwise, I am spending the next seven days packing shit.

It may or may not be a retail store in the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area!

No, I'll be firmly placed within the safety of Montgomery County.
