HEY EVERYBODY PLEASE READ
I HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME PLAYING IN SEATTLE!
No people in any city I’ve ever been to have made me feel so welcome and appreciated. My time in Seattle has truly been the happiest time in my adult life thusfar.
I’m sure many of you have seen me posting about the structural problems my house has been having, but my girlfriend just broke the news to me that our home in Maine is now completely unlivable, as the extreme coldfront/snowstorm combo that recently ravaged all of New England has ruptured several pipes and left our already damaged plumbing system completely destroyed. Since our home is very old and only 3 sides of the house are properly insulated, we cannot keep up with the cost of heating oil and have been forced to displace ourselves and stay with friends. Our landlord seems to be overwhelmed by the damages and says repairs could take months, meaning we won’t be able to even consider returning until the cold winter is over.
ONCE I RETURN TO MAINE ON JANUARY 9TH,
I WILL NOT HAVE A HOME TO COME BACK TO.
On top of this, my girlfriend and I both have emotionally/verbally abusive family who live closeby and are bent on convincing my girlfriend and I that WE are the ones at fault for the damages, and that this situation would not have occurred if it wasn’t for our incompetence as adults. This is only the latest instance in a seemingly endless chain of guilt-tripping and manipulation that we’ve both been dealing with our whole lives.
My girlfriend and I are fucking sick of living here. We’ve come to the conclusion that we will do everything in our power to move out to the greater Seattle area ASAP.
The Seattle scene presents INFINITELY greater booking opportunities for me, and living closeby will make it drastically easier for me to make a living as a producer while we both remain out of reach from our families.
We have incredibly generous friends in Seattle who are willing to house us temporarily while we find a new job for my girlfriend, as well as search for a permanent place to live (outside of Seattle city limits, where the cost of living is cheaper).
However, it’s going to cost us quite a bit to move ourselves and our belongings all the way to the other side of the continent. We would really like to be out of here before March.
We would greatly appreciate any contribution you’re willing to make to help us get out of this shitty situation,
