Possibly a new move?

We've had some VERY interesting news lately, and I've waited to blog about it til we hear more, but might as well share.
We might be moving to New York City! Long Island, and more specifically, right in the middle of Manhattan and the Hamptons. James has been doing custom audio boxes/installs/wiring out of our garage and making some very complex speakerboxes. He's always been obsessed with all aspects of car shows and competitions, watching YouTube videos and teaching himself what he knows. He (well I for him) established a legit business and is also a 'wholesale distributor' for Aamp of America so he gets all of his supplies at wholesale.
Anyway, since his contract with the Army ends in September, he's been forwarding his resume w/ pictures to various audio stores in our area. He also is a fan of the Speed channel, and diligently tunes in to "Unique Whips" every night at 6pm. Will Castro & a guy named Reme started Unique Autosports together a few years ago, with Will as the owner and Reme as the shop manager. They do a lot of celebrity vehicles, customizing them with audio, upholstery, rims, whatever the client wants. Show's been on for about 3 years, and now it's mostly reruns because Reme left the shop to start his own, "Reme Designs." Well, James submitted his resume to Reme, dreaming that he too might land a job working alongside these guys.
Reme called James about two weeks ago, responding to his application, and after learning that James is military asked for a brief bio, as that would make a good character angle on HIS new TV show that is in the baby stages. They've talked at least once since then, and we're supposed to receive another phone call next week. All things sound promising, but nothing is set in stone.
Here's to hoping!
