1:30 AM] Tino_: Need to get you and dash to vouch me now xd

[11:33 AM] Console-: big boy is working at blast pro series
[11:34 AM] Tino_: Glad shit is finally coming together for him with that
[11:34 AM] Console-: i have kind of good Geographical RNG and live pretty close to him (live in upstate NY and he lives in Toronto) so he's been trying to network me around canadian esports shows to help me get my foot in the door
[11:35 AM] Console-: since I have an enhanced drivers license, so i can travel to canada without a passport so long as i dont fly
[11:35 AM] Tino_: And I'm in friggen calgary
[11:35 AM] Console-: oof
[11:35 AM] Tino_: Ain't shit alllll out here
[11:35 AM] Console-: you have an NHL team
[11:35 AM] Tino_: I don't sports puck
[11:35 AM] Console-: fair
[11:35 AM] Tino_: So means nothing to me lmao
[11:36 AM] Console-: my brother and dad go nuts for the Philedelphia Flyers, only reason i even know where calgary is
[11:36 AM] Tino_: But I am here for a reason. Getting that broadcast production degree and it's 1 of 2 in all of Canada
[11:36 AM] Tino_: So suffer for now I guess
[11:37 AM] Console-: 1 of 2? like schools that offer broadcast production degrees?
[11:41 AM] Tino_: Yes full 4 year degree
[11:41 AM] Console-: i see
[11:42 AM] Console-: i'm kind of spoiled because i live in the city that has one of the most prestigious production schools :(
[11:43 AM] Tino_: Eh it is what it is
[11:43 AM] Console-: tbf i cant attend that school either
[11:44 AM] Console-: not only is Syracuse University's newhouse school of production fuckin dumb hard to get into
[11:44 AM] Console-: tuition alone is like 60 grand
[11:45 AM] Tino_: Yeah I am super lucky I got in tbh. Stupid high comp average for this program and it's also expensive by Canadian standards
[11:46 AM] Console-: currently going for a 2 year tv production degree at a local community college; still getting to work with proper modern equipment b/c of state grants and its a public college
[11:48 AM] Tino_: Honestly that might be better than a full degree for esports. Because I got a whole wack of other shit that is being taught not related to just producing
[11:49 AM] Tino_: And it's fine, just dosan really help with what I want, but it gives a fallback I guesa
[11:49 AM] Console-: what kind of other shit are you learning?
[11:50 AM] Tino_: How to create and curate news as well as TV stories and advertising
[11:51 AM] Tino_: How to write for it and what it all looks like
