Ryan and I are leaving New York and moving to San Francisco.
She made an awesome video showing all of our stuff that we sold on ebay and Craig’s List.
(Ryan also did most of the work that’s why she had all the photos.)
We sold almost everything we own except for a couple bags of our personal belongings. We really didn’t have that much stuff, but it was still a lot of junk. Ryan was creative enough to make something so personal and fun out of our money making scheme. She’s good.
All day long, we’ve been fighting over dumb things. The stress has gotten to us a little.
So as she sleeps and I’m wide awake because I can’t sleep….I’m posting this so I can remember how it feels as I’m about to tear up everything I’ve planted here in NYC and start over.
I’m really not a stranger to picking up and moving, but I made some strong relationships in Manhattan, did some good work, and felt really comfortable probably for the first time in my life.
San Francisco. I’m working with some great guys at FireAnt.tv. Distributing video on the web is the future, and it’s good to help build that. The technology challenge is such a small part. What will people’s role in it be? Passive viewers or active participants? Or something else. How do people want it to fit together? What do we want it to look like? These are the places I’m excited about jumping into.
Anyway, I’m glad to be doing all this with Ryan. She makes me smarter.
ROAD TRIP!
Good luck on your move, I am sure it is both exciting and a bit scary at the same time. Especialy moving cross country……I remember my first big move, half way through my senior year of high school, Cincinnati Ohio, to Atlanta GA, I look back now and would never trade my experience for anything but at the time………like I said best of luck to you an Ryan…….
Damn, looks frighteningly familiar. Zadi and I did it a year ago. You’ll love S.F. Once you get past trying to make any other place like New York, you can enjoy it for what it is.
dang, i shoulda bought some of your wicked cool stuffs yo!
except i have too much junk already.
i felt your presence in MN.
you’re there now – welcome to SanFran!
can’t wait to see y’all this summer.
A little late to chime in, but good luck nonetheless. We web video creators are quite appreciative of FireAnt. The world needs a way to keep their video options straight!
As for moves, I once had to criss-cross the country from Pittsburgh to Phoenix in 30 hours, by car, and hightail it back to the east coast when it became clear that my lease in AZ was for a substandard apartment. Suffice it to say it was not the easygoing drive I prefer. I hope you enjoyed your relocation much more than I did, and do avoid sleeping in rest stops under cover of night.
