Hi Matt and welcome to DVinfo!

Anyone in New Jersey??
 

Hey all,
There is a possibility in the next couple of months that I may be moving to New Jersey and I know absolutely no one there. I would love to get connected before I get there. I may even be looking for a gig or two... hehe....

I dont know exactly where we will be moving to but it was mentioned as "Jersey Shore".

aloha!

Hi Rob,

Lots of people have a stereotype of New Jersey as a turnpike surrounded by chemical plants and toxic waste dumps. That's fine, it helps us keep just how nice this place really is a secret. I live in the southern part of NJ, about halfway between the shore and Philadelphia which puts me on the edge of the Pine Barrens - a million protected acres of woods - I have several acres of my own here.

It's a great place, and there are some nice places at the shore. Not much happening there in the off-season, but that's the time of year I like the best. Pretty crowded in the summer but it's a non-stop party.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it and make lots of new friends. And New Jersey politics are a constant source of amusement also ;-)

Aloha, Rob!

Two of the finest friends I've ever known live in Southern New Jersey. One of them is a member of this board! I'll point him to this thread.

Thanks for the replies! I've been doing video for about 2 1/2 years now and have only begun to scratch the surface. I've released a commercial DVD with music video's I've directed, shot and edited and it's been incredible.

My main forte' is music production though. I've been doing that since 91 and truly love the musical aspect of video. I'm hoping to establish the same type of contacts that i have here in Hawaii in Jersey. The only thing I've heard is that it's really reallly realllly realllllly cold there. (compared to hawaii of course).

Yeah, well compared to Hawaii.....

The climate varies in NJ quite a bit. Far northern NJ is mountainous and gets a lot of snow. A couple days ago they had 8 inches but here in South Jersey we just had rain and temparatures in the mid 40's. Personally I find the winters very mild, especially after living in upstate NY for 15 years. I think I can count the days where the temperature fell below freezing this seaons on one hand so far. We typically get some cold weather in January and February, and a few significant snow storms. But the ocean really moderates the cold. It 's generally 10 degrees colder if you go 40 miles west of here. And it might be 5 degrees warmer still at the shore than at my home.

I just did a Google Earth search and noticed that New York is relatively close. Is it close enough to say work in the city or is the commute to crazy? Being more in the music industry those were my initial thoughts about moving.

Sure lots of people commute - often spending hours a day on the road. There's also Philadelphia where I commute... about 25 miles due west of my home. To get to our office in Center City Philadelphia it takes me maybe an hour and fifteen minutes during rush hour, or 40 minutes late at night.

With either Phila or NYC, if commute time is important then you need to study the rail maps. I think the train from NYC goes down the shore as far as Point Pleasant.

Anyone in NJ
 

Ya ya, we are here, so just don't come out here and claimed you discovered this place.

It will be great the have our numbers increased by one more. There is lots going on in NJ, near the shore is Silent Bob although we haven't met and depending on where you move to you may be able to profit from the NY scene.

Welcome in advance, you can email me and I'll point you in some direction.
