Yeah, it's been long enough I think but that's okay because I have good news finally. Recently I've been looking for more work to broaden my client base so I can try to make something bigger or myself. So I sent out some e-mails to people on my contacts list-- some of you might know that I started working for 30 Seconds to Mars with their environmental awareness campaign, which was mostly based off Twitter. Anyway, I sent out e-mails and three minutes later I get an e-mail back from a girl named Emma. I didn't know until recently but it's Jared Leto's personal assistant. I mentioned in the letter that my sister, friend and I might be moving out to LA soon so my sister and I can attend a film making/screen writing school. Emma said that if I do move to LA that I should go work at this place called The Hive, which is the building that the band rented out on Melrose Ave. dedicated to their street teaming/online social networking/and a lot of other cool things. I asked if she was serious about the offer and she said yes she was and asked for me to go out there to meet with them. So I'm excited about that. The school, which I won't be able to do full time if I'm working for The Hive but I can still take classes there, is located in the back-lot studios at Universal Studios Hollywood.
So things are looking up again. Soon I'll have to make a quick trip out to Los Angeles to meet with Emma and The Hive. Hopefully after that I'll be making a more permanent trip out there as well. I've spoken with Jay and Lou and they say they both have my back as well and if I need anything at all, to just ask. Jay has some cool projects in the works that he said he would like to have me help with as well. I hope it all works out.
Will I be sad to leave Austin? Hell yes, I love this fucking place. It will always be home and I'll always come back to visit often. Will I miss everyone here, new friends and old? Definitely. Even failing friendships. Because no matter how flawed a friendship might be, that person still holds a big part of you. So in a way, yes I'm sad but this will be a good move for me. A good step in the right direction. I'll be out there with all of the people I know who are willing to help, I'll be able to go out with them to clubs and network and meet new people. My goal is to have a business that I can hire my good friends into and hopefully create a haven of creativity and love. That would be the best thing ever. Also, I want to take classes at that school so fucking bad. Hopefully I'll get the chance to do that as well.
Anyway, that's what's going on with me. I'll try not to be a stranger but I'm unfortunately I'm forgetful about things like this. We'll see. Hope you're all doing well. <3 XOXO
