Myachi Man Sighting

by Crazy Ivan

It often surprises people when they find out that Myachi Man doesn't live in New York.  After all, his company is headquartered in New York, the biggest contingent of Myachi Mania is in New York, his parent live here and this is where he was born.

But it's not where Myachi was born.  That happened at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, which is where Myachi Man currently resides.  He, his wife and his dog have a nice little house outside of the world capital of country music.  The basement of that house was once the official Myachi HQ, but of course, we've upgraded since then.

Myachi Man still gets his mail in Tennessee, but he spends enough time in NYC that he's actually got a small apartment here as well.  With all the meetings, R&D sessions, media appearances and hob-nobbing that his position requires, he winds up spending almost as much time in New York as he spends at home.  But tell this to Myachi Maniac who is trying to get his autograph and they might doubt you.

That's because even when you're in the same state as Myachi Man, he can be pretty hard to find.  His schedule is 90 miles per hour, all day, every day.  When he is in the city he usually tries to get 12 days worth of work done in 6 days so that he can feel guilt free for the first 6 days he spends back home.  That means that he's never in one place any longer than he has to be and there are always a few things on his itinerary that he can't fit in before he has to head home.

Which is why it struck me as blog-worthy when I actually managed to pin down a when and a where for the dude.  He's actually going to be at Myachi HQ at 3:30 this Wednesday afternoon.  I'm not sure how long he'll be sticking around, but he will definitely be there for a little while between 3:30 and question mark.

I've already heard from a number of jammers that live near HQ that they'll be swinging by that afternoon and I've even heard about a couple of Manhattan jammers that are trying to talk their parents into letting them leave school early to catch him (no word yet on what the parents say, but I think we can guess).

So if you're dying to meet Myachi Man and you're going to be anywhere near Roslyn, NY on Wednesday, I strongly urge you to come out, say hi, get an autograph and hear countless stories of the early days of the Myachi movement.  It's pretty rare that anyone's able to pin him down like this, so take advantage while you can!

  1. When I get reincarnated; I hope I remember enough of my past life to do two things:

    -Live in NYC.
    - Fall in love with Myachi again.
