Advice needed. <br/><br/>At 18 I set out to work for a prestigious orchestra. But I ended up getting hired at a nightclub which has taken me on a detour of nearly 15 years. Just a couple weeks ago I finally got offered a summer contract that would have me working with some decently high profile classical music productions. It’s all quite posh and could open a lot of doors.<br/><br/>Simultaneously, with the World Cup coming to North America, I’ve had it in my head the past few years that I need to be involved somehow. I figured, maybe I’ll get in as a parking attendant or something. But FIFA of all people seem to think I’m worth something so I’ve been told that very soon I’ll have an offer in my inbox to be involved in a pretty significant way. <br/><br/>The classical place gave me a deadline that passed on Friday. I accepted their offer because at the time I wasn’t 100% sure FIFA would want me. I only found that out on Saturday morning. I’ve never backed out of a contract before and I’m unsure if going on this soccer side quest is worth turning away from this thing I’ve been trying to accomplish for a long time.<br/><br/>The World Cup is definitely a once in a lifetime thing, but my foray into sports doesn’t need to be something that colossal. On the other hand, I know how the classical music world is. Even with that gig, I’m not sure it would matter to the notable orchestras of the world. Many times I’ve contemplated giving up on that side of things altogether. Realistically, I’d probably have a much brighter future in sports. But do I even want a future in sports or do I think simply being involved in this particular tournament would make a good story? Maybe by doing it, I’ll see a lot more possibilities beyond concert production. 10 years removed from college, it could be time to shake things up? 2026-02-22T03:03:18Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2uh4fv8exc2hvz5hm0rmpmlvaxy2rfzlcr3llr2mymt0myy3y4mgzyzla84vfr8ruzx73qss49f09k4nwaz0srpl3x2h3nr6vf234935870dk75e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszfn4ape9rvdtrdl864jdkgs99q3agdk7z38t09vgz7msmn9jw95qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qp8ltrs'>nevent1q…ltrs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Saying this at the big age of 52 is embarrassing. 2026-02-08T15:47:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspux866rascmrvv9hee7u4endwpwhcp0m82sgzn49dg0mdwuv8t0czyzla84vfr8ruzx73qss49f09k4nwaz0srpl3x2h3nr6vf23493587te4jqy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgczmd6hd3qljnyw37unxk4jll8qmtr4cf22679m9ev3efgz2n90cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qt99s6d'>nevent1q…9s6d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah I&#39;ve read that it&#39;s a good place for outdoorsy people.

It was a 4 hour long journey that involved talking to multiple people and taking tours of multiple buildings. The place kind of reminded me of a beehive. Totally open concept, every resource I could possibly think of within the context of event production was all there. Big money in every direction. It was very fascinating to witness. Despite having no uniform, almost everyone had some kind of company-branded merch/accessory on from sweatshirts, backpacks, coffee cups, or water bottles. I was told that once people work here, they tend to stay. And even if they leave, a decent chunk of them come back once they realize that nowhere else is like this. <br/><br/>I asked my friend there what they said about me once I left and apparently all she overheard was that they think I&#39;m brilliant but they felt like I&#39;d use this place perhaps as a stepping stone rather than a place to spend the rest of my life and that they place a lot of value in people seeing their company being the end all be all of life. This is not unlike what I&#39;ve heard people say about places like Disney or Live Nation. It supports my hypothesis that these places prefer to pluck people right out of select college/graduate programs as interns then funnel them up through the system. At 32 years old with 14 years of experience as a freelancer, I did ask them why they were speaking to me because I don&#39;t fit the profile of their usual hires. They said they&#39;d been working on changing their approach to new hires, seeing the value of bringing in people who are already professionals.<br/><br/>And as a professional, I&#39;m not sure why the expectation would be that I walk into this facility and immediately decide that this place is my new religion or something. And honestly, that&#39;s why I&#39;ve always been wary of getting a &#34;real job.&#34; The industry big names don&#39;t want me because I&#39;m not &#34;company trained,&#34; but I&#39;m really good at getting freelance work or temporary contracts because I can jump into unusual situations and make it work. <br/><br/>Still TBD if they&#39;ll extend an offer to me or not. But after a long phone conversation with my touring BFF who appparently runs into the same internal conflicts as me, we have decided that touring is simply addicting for anyone who is a roadie at heart. And walking away before you have to usually doesn&#39;t end well.

What shocked me is that at the public school they have refugee/immigrant kids enrolling every few weeks. I don&#39;t think that happens really in the US except maybe at the border with Mexico. <br/><br/>Whenever I consume British media a big running theme (similar to Korean media) is that class is a very big day to day issue. Maybe because both countries are so small everyone is basically on top of each other. Similar to the private school in this series, there is this kind of expectation for excellence so goofing off and getting bad grades was never seen as cool. Instead, being involved in many extracurriculars and having lots of friends was cool. <br/><br/>We did to this thing when I was in high school where a public school started a lacrosse program (a bit unusual for public schools in the city) so we had a scrimmage exchange with them where they&#39;d come play at our school and they&#39;d come play at theirs. The differences were.... a lot... to say the least. Probably because I was the only black student on the team, a bunch of the kids from the public school were asking about all the mansions they passed on the way to our campus. I had never thought of them as mansions before! <br/><br/>I&#39;ve long since left the bubble of that world, but it&#39;s unfortunate that such an experience comes with an insane price tag. <br/><br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhkLgoR8ArQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhkLgoR8ArQ</a> 2025-11-12T17:19:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswhkc2a022h5gvxcgcdc3s7l7hzdxf6rv2j94yarz8atk3f5selsqzyzla84vfr8ruzx73qss49f09k4nwaz0srpl3x2h3nr6vf23493587y0x5r5 Once again shooting my shot at getting a job in classical music despite me swearing up and down I was done expending time and energy trying to gain a foothold in this space outside of the quickly cooked up diversity initiatives that were popular a few years ago. Once again I know I&#39;m probably among the most qualified person who is bothering to apply to this job in the first place but watch them give it to some 25 year old with 1 year of administrative experience but nonetheless played clarinet at some prestigious music school. What does playing clarinet at a fancy school have to do with putting together and executing world tours? Nothing. But they tend to stick to hiring their own at these types of places. And here I am applying anyway. 🙃 2025-11-12T03:18:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqz4qe2uzpdj3eta5prsek2z59ka8c7wl5k8sj58m70zn0njnrv6gzyzla84vfr8ruzx73qss49f09k4nwaz0srpl3x2h3nr6vf234935876syd22 Watch out world, I am now 32. 2025-11-10T14:51:16Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsphgpa269ws3hl7r6mw4rmzjyhutncyn96qf5fgdd6ll5le7ncypszyzla84vfr8ruzx73qss49f09k4nwaz0srpl3x2h3nr6vf23493587whwyxx The fancy company wants to invite me out to speak to them even though I can&#39;t do it for another two months and after that couldn&#39;t start working there for another four months. My parents have pointed out that I&#39;ve now been out of college for a decade so it could be worth switching things up. But I still feel as if there&#39;s so much more for me to accomplish with what I&#39;m currently doing. Hmm... 2025-11-07T01:41:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszqzrlkxkjr9qfzdqsu72eeely9dzhu43pu597yka83m5e7l90zdqzyzla84vfr8ruzx73qss49f09k4nwaz0srpl3x2h3nr6vf2349358768meth Way back in the summer when I found out I&#39;d be on tour for the next 7 months with a 72 year old production manager, it was my assumption that he wouldn&#39;t make it given the tough (even by my standards) schedule. I predicted he&#39;d be gone by Thanksgiving but I wasn&#39;t too far off. He put in his notice on Monday and will be gone on the 17th. I have since brought on a production manager I know can do the job since he wasn&#39;t happy on his current tour and was eager to jump ship. <br/><br/>What annoys me is that even way back during rehearsals in August, this guy said he didn&#39;t know if he could finish the full tour. Well, if you already think that, why did you take the job? I&#39;m sure other candidates wanted it more than you did. Meanwhile my boss who hired him I think was blinded by his resume and past experience with rock and roll bands (a past they share, nonetheless, this is not a rock and roll tour) and wasn&#39;t thinking realistically. Now, I didn&#39;t want to jump on the guy because of his age. Sure maybe some 72 year olds can tour like this. But I bet they&#39;re rare. And a mutual connection of ours thought this guy retired some number of years ago after being fired from a similar tour. <br/><br/>I&#39;ve never had a production manager look me in the eye and say &#34;I don&#39;t know how to solve the problem&#34; EVER yet this guy did so on several different occasions. He makes no attempt to connect with the crew, no attempt to solve problems on site, can&#39;t even make it up and down the stairs half the time, and seems to lack the ability to assert himself in any and all social situations. Apparently his dad used to rag on him about this all the time growing up. Like most guys on the road this late in life, he&#39;s been divorced at least once. At least I only need to put up with two more weeks of this. I wish him all the best, but he&#39;s honestly sad to look at. 2025-11-05T16:10:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy57pcenr07m0hzhv06nydm8cfcxgvv2lnfrxuwt5utvsx5dze0aszyzla84vfr8ruzx73qss49f09k4nwaz0srpl3x2h3nr6vf23493587efaz0w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxlj9e05fx4cy38ng9vghq7pavmc9zz3hvydfx8ph3k79t3ny9kyspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7ls07yg'>nevent1q…07yg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I can assure you it was not appreciated but I was on a roll.

She says her girlfriend doesn&#39;t want her to tour in the fall... but she (the stage manager) does so she&#39;s gonna do a tour. Apparently her girlfriend is primarily upset about the tour taking place both over her birthday and their anniversary. And I&#39;m sitting there thinking... &#34;why does that matter, can&#39;t you just give her a phone call?&#34; But apparently it is such a big issue that she&#39;s working on getting the permission to fly home for multiple days each time to make such events. Good for her I guess but it seems to be a bit much. I did mention that - having been on the road for ten years - I have noticed that many seem to struggle in the relationship department until they stop touring unless their partner is also in the industry. She insists that touring isn&#39;t the problem, it&#39;s not prioritizing the relationship that is the problem. Whatever. I&#39;m glad I&#39;m not bogged down in that kind of mess. Sounds tedious. 2025-06-07T14:43:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfeej9pe3v73tahcw9w3crdnh7dct65t8paz4ce8h7j6nkleqgxwgzyzla84vfr8ruzx73qss49f09k4nwaz0srpl3x2h3nr6vf23493587yzxkuh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyst5k8w5ysv8ry6rplwrktp3v6z5r0lalh9ce347n34mnsg978gcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qp8usty'>nevent1q…usty</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I didn&#39;t know he was Scottish until he mentioned it I just knew him as &#34;that guy I&#39;m interviewing with who talks British.&#34; 2025-06-07T14:39:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr0kqj35qkxhrfv4dk0p7px86dpk9e0sh5drm8knkt5n20qlmep6czyzla84vfr8ruzx73qss49f09k4nwaz0srpl3x2h3nr6vf23493587skljzv Canadians I am here all month in almost all the provinces so shout if there’s anything interesting out here.
