This is the first official blog that I will be posting in my LA ADVENTURES blog with other blogs like blogs, BLOGS BLOGS!
It’s nearly official, that I, Ethan Newberry, Seattle resident for friggin’ 21 years will be relocating to the amazingly ridiculous world of Los Angeles! Why, ask you, will I be leaving a city full of trees, green, nice people, amazing views, mountains, water, fresh air, nice people, art, theater, nice people, and unicorns to head to a city of Satan? Well, my friends, the reason is like many other’s who’ve travelled before me: To pursue the the entertainment arts and fullfill me dreams!
I have been working as an art director for a top DVD game manufacturer for 3 years now here in Seattle. I’ve established quite a routine and lifestyle here in addition to a nice resume and demo reel. I have also managed to book myself an awesome career as a senior designer for an LA based trailer house designing REAL movie trailers! RuhRoh! Which path do I choose oh wise one? Stay safe and warm in my comfort womb or face danger straight in the eyeholes? This could be the opportunity of a lifetime: basically getting a free ticket to go to LA, with a fulltime, well paying job, and the ability to see if I can make it. Not only as a performer, but as a human.
I’ve always wanted to know if I have “it”. This could be my chance to find out. But the move is more than that. The move is to find out if I have the strength still within me to put aside my comfortable lifestyle here in Seattle that I have become accustom to in pursuit of something new and different and exciting. Granted, I know LA is not the most beautiful city in the world — I have been spoiled with the beauty of the pacific northwest — but it holds other objects of my affection.
I shall use this blog to chronicle my journey from Seattle to Los Angeles. I’ll make sure I let you in on my struggles, triumphs, and other tidbits into my journey. I hope you feel the desire to frequent this little bloggity blog and find out how I’m doing. In fact, why not join up and communicate with me!? I could definately use the support! It’s going to be a hard change of life for me, and I could use all the help I can get.
On that note, I leave thee to thyself. Alone. Staring at your computer screen awaiting the next entry. Like a nerd.
