Job huntin' in California!

Sorry I haven't posted more on this blog -- I have been so busy, what with traveling around and stuff.

This morning, Matty sent me some job prospects along with the idea that I could move out there for a good job, sublet a place, and wait for him to arrive. That would be some pretty wild stuff for me, but the idea of leaving now sounds positively dreamy!

I noticed that he found all these job opps on Craig's List--I really need to explore that thing more. All my friends are always finding cool stuff, selling extra junk, etc. on Craig's List. I feel at a disadvantage, though, seeing as how I only have computer access at work. Hmph.

Back to the jobs--all are editing/writing positions, including one with Acoustic Guitar magazine! I'm going to work up some cover letters, polish my resume, and see what happens. It would be crazy to leave suddenly, but--I sure could use some California sunshine.

Yelp.com RULES

So I've decided to keep track of all the cool things I learn about my future home state of California, and I thought a blog would be the best way, so that I can get comments and share ideas with everyone.

Matty McMatterson told me about this yelp.com, where you can look for cool stuff of any sort in any city in America! So my first search? Mexican food! I've been so deprived for lo these almost-six years, living in State College, home of Mad Mex (fake California-Mex, with the only good thing on the menu being the margaritas) and QDoba (if you call that Mexican food, just stop reading now).

I found a little place that seems to have nothing but good reviews, Las Guitarras de Cotati. Not only are the reviews all good, but the translation is The Guitars of Cotati (Cotati being a little city on the south edge of Rohnert Park, where we'll be living). Already I like this place!
