Library sucks unless you can get a private study room. And if they have a coffee shop in house. I’ve met dozens of women at the library and you’ll be the only dude not masturbating or having mental illness on a first name basis. It’s really like a daycare for useless people, so I usually stand out in a good way. If you want to fuck a librarian, ask for their help for something esoteric - I usually go for music scores or Gurdjieff or starting a nonprofit. Just something that shows off your taste and gets them to help you - see the Benjamin Franklin effect.

Get dedicated internet. No you can’t use your phones hotspot - try telling a client your WiFi ran out when you’re uploading a few GB presentations.

All data should be stored in at least two places. Google Drive and your desktop hard drives count, but also just update quarterly. I’ve lost shit and it’s annoying to replace, but laptops go missing, passwords get changed, and shit just stops working. Failure to prepare is preparation for failure.

I've been playing since I'm six, starting on euphonium and trombone (NY All State/All County since 5th or 6th grade).

I already had a touring busking career in 16 countries, but tickling the ivories for that sweet sweet New England cunny is the goal - plus to augment my lifestyle (ie. recording music, affiliate websites, my main gig as a writer, participating in community orchestras).

The trick is to tap into conversatory-adjacent bitches. Like, I'm thinking about moving to North Adams, MA because of its proximity to Mass MoCA (art school pussy is best pu$$y). Then to become the go-to dude for events, but I'd rather not be a "recital accompanist" dude.

I mean, there's opportunity up there:

I could do that shit, easy-peasy with some Fahey/Tacoma/American Primitive stuff. PAY ME

Anyways, the nicotine gum is buzzing...
