Hey, all. I know I've been lurking rather than posting much on this board, but for the folks I know, me and the missus have sold our apartment, quit our jobs, and hightailed it out of New York. We were just tired and ready to slow our roll a little.

We will eventually relocate to Austin in January, but for now, we're gonna spend the fall doing some global wandering. I bought 2 around the world tickets with some apt. sale proceeds, so we're heading to Europe, Asia, and Australia beginning on 9/6.

Just wanted to say that while they've fizzled of late, I had a great time at all of the CMJ/Obner BB happy hours with Lemur, Katie, Dov, Lemming, OPA, Haq, and guests like FT and Marco. I'm sure I'll see you guys down the road...

Oh, and one other thing...we're gonna try to blog our trip (at least occasionally), so I'll post a link at some point in case any of you guys want to see what we're up to this fall.

Anyhow, thanks again, guys. Even though I'm not posting much, I'm always reading your opinions on the new releases. I'll be back in late January and will be more active then... now I'm gonna go hunt like crazy for fall releases for my iPod since I won't be able to DL until December!

Best,
Tom (tthorn)

That's pretty crazy. Good luck, and safe travels.

What kind of job do you initially have to have to be able to pull off a 4 month caper like that?

I'm insanely jealous. Take lots of pictures. Be sure to take pictures of good food too, you can only look at so many cathedrals and monasteries.

Congrats man...

Weird, that we never really bumped into eachother much, considering we lived across the street from eachother and could probably have a catch if we both leaned out our windows...

good luck, stay in touch!

Dov

I'm still in denial about this, as i no longer have anyone to chat with about music at work, and very few people to go to shows with...

hope your trip gets off to a good start, I'll see you in the spring (hopefully)

I'm happy for you, Tom. You've always talked about eventually moving out of NY so here you are. I wish you all the best, and give that beautiful wife of yours a hug and a kiss. She's good people.

Your trip, by the way, sounds awesome. Have a good time. Are we stopping by Greece by any chance?
