Music to Emigrate from California to
In February of this year I made the journey out of California in search of a better life for my family and me. My destination was Austin Texas and my route took me through California, Arizona, New Mexico and into the heart of Texas.
Since I keep hearing of more folks leaving the high real estate costs and general confusion of the Golden State I thought I would share the 20 CDs that guided me as I made my journey to our new home. Hopefully these will come in handy for someone else looking to make the move ;)

Oh yeah, well you're not the youngest Sparks fan. My younger brother was into them since we saw them in the flick Rollercoaster http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076636/. Lame movie but amazing cast, and what a sound track!

Yeah, well I took the extra step to geekdom that he omitted: I became an official member of the fan club. And, yes, it pre-dated your movie -- which, by the by, I've never actually heard of and now must rent!
