Hey folks.
So in case no one's heard yet,
WE'RE MOVING BACK TO GREENVILLE! (SC, that is.)
Obviously, I'm excited. BIG plans to follow the move, too. Caitlin and I have had a dream for years to open up some sort of crafty type shop in a city with that sort of market, and Greenville is perfect. For those of you not too familiar with Greenville, SC, it's kind of a miniature Portland, OR.
As I mentioned in the last post, we've been reading the "Retail Business Kit For Dummies" book for a couple of weeks now. It's helping us realize that our plans to open up a shop aren't nearly as far-fetched as we thought! We just need to keep our heads on straight. One great thing is that the properties that we've been looking at in Greenville are right on Stone Ave and Main, where they're planning on completely revitalizing and upgrading with housing, planting trees everywhere, and opening up new businesses in the area. The area has been very up-and-coming for some time now, so I feel like time is of the essence for this shop to open.
Let's not forget about the music, though! My band has been writing for just over a year now and we've narrowed down and re-written our best choice of songs. We've done all of this with NO bass player, so I'm pretty proud of what we've done, even though no one's heard any of it yet. If we can get rehearsing in the next couple of weeks, we'll work on getting some shows going. So stay tuned!
Regarding Sleepy Head: I had a VERY busy work schedule in December, but it's died down rather abruptly due to the lack of retail business in January, so I'll be writing frequently again. I've got one song completed so far (called Mistletoe). I'm planning on releasing an EP when I'm done with the songs and once I've figured out what direction I want to go in, sound-wise. If I go in the direction of Mistletoe, it'll have a very Bob Dylan-ish feel to it. We'll have to wait and see as I keep writing. I'll keep the updates coming as I've got more free time in January. Thanks for reading!
