    With my impending move to the States, it looks like I'll have to sell off my huge wrestling DVD collection (about 3k titles!).

    I wonder am I better to sell off in bundles or individually? Have some on ebay at the moment anyway to see. WWE ones worth feck all but my ROH/TNA ones seem like they could fetch decent prices.

    Will get a list together and throw on Adverts too I guess.

    What part you moving to there?

    I'll be moving to Seattle with a certain retail giant named after a rainforest :D It's not the most exciting city these days but the jump in quality of life will be amazing and I have lots of friends there as I've worked here years.

    In terms of career path, it's huge for me as I'll now have semi-regular interactions with Jeff and his direct staff so the opportunities will be outstanding. Only a few hours flights from anywhere in California and Vegas etc too so hope to travel to lots of wrestling shows when there. Currently looking at apartments and all that and dealing with the immigration lawyers, tax people and moving companies so it's a bit overwhelming what with starting the new job and doing stuff with my band too but it'll all be worth it in the end.

    Thanks a million! Will do for sure! Aiming for the first week of November. My band is a horror punk band so October is a busy time for us so we're recording the album now before I leave :D

    Thanks so much all! I really appreciate it. I've been really lucky with them and hoping the US chapter is as good as the one in Japan was!


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    It's a city steeped in music history as well, (Hendrix, Duff McKagan, Nikki Sixx, grunge and the bands associated with it)

    Good luck with the move CC.

    Definitely! Fun fact, Duff McKagan does the airport security announcement haha, threw me the first time I heard it! Sadly the city is very corporate now with ourselves, MS, Google and co running the entire downtown but areas like Belltown, Fremont and a few others still have the nice grungey vibe to them. If anyone ever happens to visit, feel free to reach out, I'd be happy to show ya around!

    Thanks again everyone, the community here really is one of the best on boards.

    Even if you're not an NFL fan you should go to a Seahawks game for the experience.

    Dundalk vs Qarabag last night in Oriel was class, hopefully Rovers can do well tonight

    Rovers turning on the style alright tonight. Jack Byrne is savage. Well worth their 2-1 lead. Shame on RTE for not bothering their holes to show it.

    Great to see the LOI clubs doing so well in Europe. Were prob below the next step up but these lads wont give up too easily

    Dundalk will struggle with the long trip I think

    Mick might have a decision too make for the next Ireland squad some great displays from LOI guys

    Jack Byrne is fantastic. He's not long for this league.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭A Brad Maddox Guy


    Byrne's quality, I'd be surprised if there's not championship interest in him by the end of the season.

    We'll see how it goes come Saturday, when you enter the octagon against the true Rovers.

    My birthday today - the big Three Six. My young fellas tell me i'm "very old" now.:o

    Gonna have a pretty mega weekend of it. Saturday, i'm going to a literal Piss up in a brewery, as the White Hag Brewing company hold their 5th year anniverary party "Hagstravaganza" in Ballymote, Co. Sligo. Multiple Brewerys from all over the world, with beers never poured in Ireland before. Music. Food. Merriment.

    Then, from half 9, train into Sligo town, where the pub crawl begins. All part of the Hagstravaganza experience.

    Along the way, I hope to encounter one Mr. Omackeral where we will stand toe to toe, a battle of East vs West, in an exchange of pint drinking the likes of which Sligo town has never seen.

    One man, one desire, one quest. Who will emerge victorious?
