If you don't know by now, I am leaving CIMS as a full timer at the end of
the year to manage bands. Here is the full story by Ed Christman:
After I leave full time, I will be remaining on as a close advisor to these
guys. The internal distribution company, junketboy and the upcoming launch
of a super indie store digital site are extremely important going forward
for independent retail. I plan on being involved in both ventures into the
new year and going forward.
We are going to have some restructuring internally that we will be telling
you about in the coming months. One benefit to our great employees is that
my leaving allows them to grow into bigger roles in the company. We are
excited to give them that chance. They are the best.
In closing, I have arguably had one of the best jobs in this industry for
the past 13 years. It has been an amazing run for me. I feel confident in
the knowledge that indie record retail will have a place at the table for a
very long time. I am looking forward to the next chapter in my career.
Thanks for all of your support for me through the years. I appreciate that.
