Yesterday was a blur to me. It feels like it happened a week ago. It's still hard for me to imagine my life changed so much in one day.
10:00AM - after dicking around on the net for a while and going out to breakfast with my roomate, I get a letter in the mail saying that I owe over $5,000 from a car accident that happened 2 years ago. Keep in mind that 2 years ago not only could I have taken care of this, but I called several times inquiring about how I could settle the matter. Now out of nowhere they demand their money. So fuck them I called and gave them a piece of my mind. I took care of paying it off first because it's true I owe it, but then I sure gave them a good one for.
11:00- work as usual... only now I seem to command a whole lotta respect. Not sure why. Maybe because I handled a lot of shit while other people were out of the shop. Maybe because they know something I don't.
5:00 - New landlord calls the cell. I got approved. Gotta scrape together the deposit by Friday.
5:30 - Oh yeah I got that meeting later on. An old friend comes into the shop. One that may be able to help me out with my new endeavors. (call me after i see how this meeting goes.)
6:30 - go to get a thorough tour of the venue I've had my eye on for a while now. This guy needs someone to help him take over. "I'm more on the business side (getting permits, budgeting, etc.)" He needs someone to handle the music end of it. Somebody already tapped into the local scene and with the connections to bring in some outside influences too. (That doesn't sound like me at all.
7:00 - "I got a couple other venues too. Let's go check them out. Want a beer?"
8:00 - "I don't wanna step on your toes... but I've had plans for this place for a while. This is exactly what I wanna do...."
9:00 - "Let's set a time to go through and do a scout of the building. I'll tell you what I wanna do. You give me a budget, an amount of revenue you expect, and a time frame to start generating those numbers... I'll make it happen."
9:30 - you got it, give me a call later in the week we'll set it up.
10:00 I call everyone I know in the world to tell them the shit that just went down.
Now we all know Toledo sucks... but maybe I'm in a position now to make things happen. Still don't plan to be here forever, but maybe I can cause enough of a stir for somebody outside of heel to notice and wanna hire me to do it in a better location.
Maybe I'm just a fuckin dreamer. Maybe Toledo will confirm how much it sucks and leave me dissappointed, but if anybody's gonna bust their ass to make it happen it's gonna be me.
Now I just need a crew of people that will work at least 1/8 as much as I'm gonna work to make this shit happen.
