The trick, then, is to do what I did: Move to SF for a year or two, make a bunch of connections, then move (back) to wherever you want.

And that bunch of connections will still care about you (if they ever did) when you lived far away for years?

True. I have found the farther away you go and the longer away you are, connections fade. No matter how 'connected' you felt they were. I guess it's just human nature. Friends are different.

If they don't care about you anymore, it wasn't much of a connection was it?
