(no subject)
I'm 100% glad I stayed home tonight. (NO REGRETS!)
I have been thinking a bit about the music store idea, and that before establishing a business in a town in the middle of the desert, I should probably go and visit. So I'm currently planning an Adelaide/Roxby trip for the September holidays. Probably something like a week all up.
If all goes to plan, I graduate in November this year. My current plan after this is to move all my crap back to Bega, and just go travel about. The main thought behind this plan is "I'm not paying any fucking rent!". So after I have sorted that business out, I am at the moment thinking about putting on a bunch of shows at all different places, with all different bands. Whilst doing this, I think I should start a small distro. This means I can sell the CDs of the bands from previous shows + other crap as well. Whatever doesn't get sold = stock for a music store.
Everyone is always really suprised when I say I'm serious about starting a music store. I think the fact that I've started my own club, and had a hand in setting up the zine puts me in good stead for being involved in starting a company. Also by the end of the year I will have run a national scale event.
I don't know why, but I seem to have to keep justifying to myself that I can do it at all. Actually I do know why, because everybody will ask you. Especially people that come under the form "bank manager".
But anyway. I have good music knowledge, experience in events, will have a fucking degree in a field of management and also bits and pieces of retail experience. I should be fine.
One thing I have no experience in is living in the middle of the red desert, but really, I think it would be nice. Just not knowing. All my life, all I have ever lived in is Bega area/Sydney/Canberra. I think after I finish uni, it could be time for a change. People may see moving to a small town as a step backwards, but the whole thing would be an incredible experience.
If I do get this job at Kingsley's, I think I will try and get as many shifts as possible, before I get incredibly sick of it (that won't be too long). I've never done fast food before, so that would be a change as well. I think I could handle it just fine. I could also handle having money all the time. I seem to do well, though 99% of the time I owe one or more people some amount of money. It happens.
Tomorrow I think I will buy a new nice pair of pants. I will need them to go to all the meetings I have to go to in the next while.
