I’m back in LA now. I’ll pack up and drive up to my hometown on Wed, then head to a wedding in Michigan on Sat, returning Mon, then start driving to Portland on Tues, arriving in Seattle on Wed.<\/p>\n
Two weeks to make this idea of living in Seattle a reality. But as I realized, I have no job, no relationship, no dependents right now. I’ll never be as free as I am now to pursue this, so in a way, I have to.<\/p>\n
One thing I really liked about Seattle, spending time there this week, is how much music there is. On the streets, in the restaurants, all the music venues…between the mountains and the sea and the expanse of sky, plenty of nature and musical inspiration.<\/p>\n
I also found out that the trains are active, so there’s a chance I’ll hear them at night. And the pub around the corner from me that I’ve chosen as my home away from home is lowkey and has free wifi (and the address adds up to 9 and they’ve got lions outside!), so I’ve been spending every day in there, writing. I went in there this morning, and found out that this place is also where the local Michigan alumni meet to watch the games on Sat mornings, so I’ll meet my fellow Wolverine Seattleites! This is incredible. Of all the places in the city, I’ve definitely found the spot I’m supposed to be in. I’m very excited to start this chapter of my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
