Westward Bound!

Well a few days ago a pledge was made to under a "Pilgrimage" to the City of Angels, Los Angeles, California herself upon college graduation. So now myself and a close friend of mine are gathering our forces (money and talent) and saving as much as humanly possible to succeed in this endeavor. The trek will take 8 days, and we'll pass through several cities like Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Houston and San Antonio, Texas; Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona; and of course, finally, Los Angeles, California. We'll be met by several colleagues and friends with similar ambitions and set up shop with local contacts at which point we'll get some jobs, make some money, get ourselves situated and begin the arduous task of attempting to make something out of what could possibly be the most competitive market known to the United States. Along the way we'll be documenting our journey with a Sony Handycam video camcorder as well as filming several little vignettes of our journey to produce into one smashing video by the time we reach our destination. It's going to be a hoot. Savings accounts have been set up, money is being stockpiled, it's going to happen in two years from this post. This is going to a running journal of the task of preparing for this occasion as well as compiling some samples of work we're preparing and the script that will be used for the vignettes along the way. Wish us luck, this is going to be intense!
