I'm glad I managed to drag you into my Philly adventure, 2009 was a good year <3

i will come to philly next year to see you guys im a fan

loois come visit us

i guess i will next weekend!

hey man
I never forget you gave me advice even way before any of this. To this day it helped me at least have confidence to pursue digital work and actually get some opportunities open up. Without that.. pft... College was no use for me, living where I live and not planning to move to the city. Without that advice.. I could've given up and be hating life even more lol
Never underestimate the value of just sharing your own personal experiences with something, even if you don't feel you have anything profound to declare.

oh. thats actually very touching. im glad things are panning out for you!

I'm also in Philly enjoying the smell of piss in the subway station.

I've always wondered what it would be like to move to Philly hahah, it seemed so enticing to me! I'd really have to get my own shit completely together though, otherwise I would feel like a goof always bugging everyone hahah! Who knows, I'd probably move up north from there and hang out with @phantomarcade3000 and @deathink Two of my favorite babies, so who better to surround myself with, right?

Also first

Well said, Luis. A big part of finding success, not just in a career setting, but in life in general, is an important marker for anyone to check. I hesitate to call it marketing yourself though, as that comes off as one's motives to be impersonal, or greedy. I will say that finding friends and colleagues that not just bolster you up in terms of confidence and self-esteem, but also ones that successfully critique your work that is both helpful, but truthful is a very important factor as well.

I'd also like to thank you for talking to a dumbass like me and helping me feel like I'm improving, not just as an artist, but also as a person. Hope to see you at the next meet!

Yeah, guess that true, though my main advice is, go to where the work is, then work on your emotional base. Sending out resumes and portfolios is just a mote in the eye of most bleary eyed task-masters and distributors of funds. Guess it really depends on how self-made you are, and how much outside support you'll need to pull off the job. Thank goodness I never had to intern anywhere to get my game up.

Sure hate to be in radio these days, 2 big national companies are set to default, iHeart and Cumulus :p Maybe VOA will buy 'em out and our 1984 scenario will be complete.

Luis, I miss your gorgeous face and sly smiles.

oh wow ur alive

Solid advice man, I may not be graduating but this kinda stuff is nice to hear no matter what. It's a comforting sentiment to work towards. And already I've met tons of great people on NG, (like @Saminat wow what a guy)

I think it's good advice, and it leads to improving yourself because the people you spend time with wear off on you.

I greatly respect this sentiment, Luis.

This is great advice, I'm trying to keep doing just this! I'm glad you moved here because that also brought you into my life! You're fun, smart, and an inspirational person art wise, so thanks for that <3
