What Dragoonkain said.
You know... I didn't get the chance to tell you, but I used to be a Texan. Your story seem to reflect a lot of similar reasons for why I left there for VA.

How that for a coincidence. I left my family however, not bandmates/friends though.
I don't regret it at all for moving 20 hours away from all I knew as far as calling home. Its quite a move, but it'll be refreshing to do so to say at the least. I have no one but SD and his friends to help me out when I came here. I was happy with that (thanks to GFF!) and only advice I can give you is well, just keep it open for more buds to help you out.
I'm sure you'll meet
his friends and network from there to get to places you need to go. Seriously, keep it open for these people, making yourself approachable is a plus.
