Promises.

I think I know how I feel now. You know when you get back from a long trip and you're back home, and you're just finding it a bit hard to readjust? Readjusting back to civilian life? That's exactly how I'm feeling right now. I feel like I've been to Fanime and back. And just getting back to real life is just...this process

I can dig the not moving to San Francisco. I don't mind office work particularly if I'm doing web design stuff, but yeah, ideally not. I can respeck these notions.

I am very glad you call you a fellow Oakland resident.

Hang-outage must happen! We can go to Genova Deli in our Oaklandish shirts and get sandwiches and go to Lanespiltters and then get drinks at Cafe Van Keef, and do various other Oakland-centric things! And I wanna talk some graphic novel shop with you. About stuff. SECRETTTTTT.

But yeah, I mean, if people find a job that they like, and don't find themselves vomiting on reflex in a Popeye's parking lot on Sunday afternoon realizing that tomorrow is Monday and that they'd have to go back to work on Monday, more power to them! I can't knock that. I'm happy for them!

What's wrong with San Francisco? I've lived here all my life.

Also, I know you have to spend money to make money but how come you're not expecting to get paid?

[radpaolo]

Aint nothing wrong with SF, good sir. Just isn't for me. Not my scene.

As far as not getting paid, are you talking in regards to the show this Saturday? It's not that I'm setting my sights low on purpose, it's just that whatever I make from that night is directly from either ticket sales or concessions. Anyway, I just feel like with this second show, I'm trying to gain momentum for myself, versus turning a buck. I'd rather have more people see it and create a buzz around it than trying to be fixated on the potential profit.

In some respects, you could even call the show this Saturday a victory lap. I already 'won' with last week's sold out show + turning a profit, and now I just wanna do it again for the people who missed it.

What do you mean by your "scene"? City life in general, or the people living in it?

It's hard for me to believe that any place has a certain kind of person living in it, to the extent that it makes it hard to live in. Especially so when your stomping ground of choice is just across the bay.
