I've got a Golden Ticket

Hey guys! Today I finalized booking for my flights! I used a fantastic travel agent based in Denver. She got me a good price and she found a way to put all of my flights (6 in 5 months) onto one ticket. Which makes it much easier for me. The way she explained it was if one of my flights was canceled, the airline would get me another one, but if they were on different tickets, it would be my responsibility to find new flights (should something go wrong). I'll post my full itinerary here pretty soon.

Aside for booking all of my flights (for Asia) I also got a 95% confirmation on a room in NYC! I emailed a guy on craigslist (the fifth I tried), he called and offered me a room in Parkside, Brooklyn for all of January. Him and the other guy living in the apartment are musicians, so we should get along well on the basis of being artists.
(The neighborhood looks really nice)

He seemed really excited about me living with them, and I was excited to find cool people in a nice part of town. I would get my own room and share everything else. The place in a five minute walk (according to google earth) to four main subway lines at one of the biggest stations in the city.

The final piece of news on an already great day comes from my potential employer in NYC. I emailed him to confirm that I will be in the city and that I would like to work with him. He responded and said he will call me when he does any shooting, which should be at least a few times in the four weeks I'm there. I also emailed a few other production contacts in the city to let them know I will be in town and ready to work. I hope to stay pretty busy.

Until I head to NYC on the 5th (still looking at options for that; bus, plane or thumbing it) I'm relaxing at home, catching up with friends, family and sleep. I can't wait for the adventure to start!
