    my wife got into an mfa program at saic and she's really stoked about going

    before we finalize anything, we're gonna wait to hear back from her other schools, but saic was her top choice

    i'm pretty stoked to join you all in the frigid north for a spell

    What do you think you'll do for work? Is Yancy going to put in a good word at Electrical Audio?

    i don't know yet, but my bosses both lived in chicago for many years and still know tons of people there, so hopefully i'll be able to do some networking through them

    is employment in chicago hard to come by?

    Aren't you an audio engineer, or something like that? I have no idea what that market is like. I just wanted to make a reference to Steve Albini.

    I know a dude named Miguel who studied audio shit and dreamed of working in a real studio. He's worked at a call center for like five years, instead.

    Looking forward to these details if only to tell my buddy Dallas that he needs to attend a music event in the springtime.

    Sounds awesome overall JJ. Of all the cities I've lived in, Chicago is the only one I've ever actively missed, and I've done that a lot. Not sure whether it has to do with my upbringing or if Chicago is just better than other places, but I suspect a combination of the 2.

    it's a pretty shitty job, actually

    to make it anywhere you have to make coffee for assholes for a year+, then start by recording the worst bands possible for little to no money, then hope to assist on a larger session for more important engineers/producers and get yelled at in front of tons of people, then maybe you get some work on your own/more assistant engineer gigs

    very similar to trying to work as a chef, which i also did and ultimately hated

    i don't really know a whole lot about chicago other than what yall post, but i've been the most excited about the prospect of moving there (or austin) than any of the other places my wife applied

    i love nyc but i'm not ready to live there, and i have little interest in moving to sf and struggling super hard to afford rent

    Historically low rent is the best thing about Chicago. So cheap. It's amazing.

    that's one thing i'm stoked about

    doing a cost analysis of ashevile vs chicago tells me that cost of living is cheaper in chicago than my little mountain city of 90,000 - mind blowing

    I'm assuming JJ will want like, actual work, but I could definitely recommend him for an Electrical internship. I think the interns might get paid, fwiw. You'd have to clean up after bands and the Tuesday night poker gang, but one of the former interns went on to start a billion dollar company, so that's always an option. And some great cats live there.

    JJ take those finely honed production skills and get in on the ground floor of the freshly budding Coolata Lounge future juggernaut.
