Alright... i know i've been talking about this for some time... but now it's official. I'm packing up all my stuff, production/studio equip. car etc... and moving out west to LA. [So what's the point here Reddick?? JEEZE]

I guess what I'm getting at here is more of a thank you than anything. To everyone on this board, to Cleveland, the EDM scene, etc. A majority of my life (99%) I've never really fit in anywhere... Yeah i played in a few bands, did the college thing, whatever... but nowhere along that path did I ever feel like I was in the right place, or somewhere that I could speak an opinion and really be 'heard', not laughed at. I've been back here in clevo for a few short years now on the east side, and never really had a place socially here either. My buddies from college live all over the US, my old buds from HS i realize now are sorta lame... and wouldn't go to an event if i begged them on my knees. Someone said here on the board "you can't let what your friends don't like, influence what you do". So i put words into action, and made a real effort to get out and switch things up a bit. The last few months hanging out around town, and getting to meet and know a lot of you has really meant a lot. I ended up finding a bunch of old friends in the process to my delight. Despite any argument on here, I think overall people in your scene really are positive and forward moving. You've all proved that by being open, friendly, and if anything... comforting to a complete stranger. whether you realize it or not.

Ok, enough rambling... but I hope you're at least seeing my point. I super appreciate everyone and the smiling familar faces when I make it out. I'll be around for another week or so... i've got a lot of packing to do, and some little projects to finish up, but i'm going to try to go out to some weeklies / events as best I can.

I don't plan on hanging up the dj 'gloves' anytime soon. If anyone knows or has any hook-ups / friends out in SoCal scene wise... please let me know. I'm a bit nervous that they won't be as cool and accepting as you all have been. Oddly that worries me more than not having a job.. go figure. Razz

fair warning: i had a friend drop out of law school to move to LA to 'find herself' there. she cut all ties with family and school and everything...she now works about 3 crappy jobs just to pay rent and has regretted the move ever since.

people there SUCK. not to rain on anyone's parade, but the grass isn't always greener.

I'm aware that most people are nice to you, only to get themselves ahead.. true... But I work in the TV/Film industry full time now here in clevo, so the next logical move for myself was either NYC or LA... Its snows in NYC, so that was an easy decision.

Thanks for the good luck props though... you'll def still catch me on the board... and i'll drop in some entertaining updates here and there. Very Happy

Thanks for your mixed CD.

Another new friend moves away (first Naps and Ang)...

I must have ordered the Reddickaway Ring instead of the Maven Secret Decoder Ring.

Break a leg, photochop master Jedi!

You're a class act! Good luck.

My good cousin move out to LA about 5 years ago. He has a degree from the University of Montana in Physics (specifically music.) He busted his ass for about three years as a producers bitch (getting him coffee and washing his car) Until he got a break with Outkast's album the "Speaker Box and the Love Below" He won a GRAMMY with HEY YA, in which he was the engineer on that track. His name is Brian Paturalski. He has gone on to produce Faith Hill's album CRY and Mobb Deep's new album. Chris, in the words of my cousin "I hope you all the best" Always keep trying because no matter who or what you meet in your path, I hope it take as a positive one. Stay tru to your roots and what you stand for.

A lot of people talk a good game, but few go through with it.

More than Luck, but best wishes,

Peace, Love and Happiness,

Sean

(PS - I am the big 6'6" motherfucker you have met at the clubs)
