So, as you all know, the band is going on tour in October and November. We got a spot at the CMJ Music Marathon, which is a big deal for us and we're putting the tour around that. I'm mega-excited and it's going to be an awesome time.
However, that does mean I'll have to quit my job at the end of this month. While I've technically been doing it for 9 years, I've only been in the Seattle office for about 15 months, and there's no way they can let me go for that long (especially since I already left for two week jaunts twice this year). For the first time in my adult life, I'll be unemployed. And for at least two months, I will have no income. I have some in savings, so it ain't too bad, but it's a new place for me, regardless.
It feels a little weird, but at the same time, I feel really good about it. It's almost like I'm losing a crutch, and that I'm going full bore with this now.
So yeah, it's a bit scary - uncharted territory. But fuck it, you only live once.
