Finances ...
Famine ... Feast ... Famine
The club has been trimmed down to two nights a week with a lot less off night shows. (- I don't think I've worked a offnight show yet this year. -) For those playing at home, this excises about 400 a month from my funds.
NO ONE seems to be hiring except places that won't budge their schedules. They out and out say, "You'll have to drop out of school if you want to work here."
My VA college fund runs out this semester (mid-may). This excises about 1200 a month from my funds.
My lease is up for renewal at the end of April. And of course they're raising the rent of every unit in the complex.
All together, this means that my rent+utilities (if I keep this place) would end being more than my monthly income.
FUCKIDOODLE ...
This really forces my hand. It's not a question of whether or not I am pulling up stakes. It's a question of where I will end up hanging my hat.
Do I tuck my tail and run back to Michigan?
Do I do an exodus down south? ( I really don't like this option. )
Do I do an exodus out west to Washington?
Moving to Canada is on hold ... I don't relish the idea of moving to another country without having a guaranteed job lined up.
Any ideas folks?
(- and this is also my ... "I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it to Convergence in May." Too much shit is slamming shut the week before Convergence. -)
