Local mash-up maestro Chris Rose, better known as Car Stereo (Wars), is packing his things for the Big Apple, where he plans to try his luck as a late night or comedy television writer. “It’s probably not the smartest decision to move to the toughest city in the country during the worst economy of our lifetimes without a job, right as stuff like Lollapalooza is happening,” Rose writes, “but I feel like I’ve been putting it off for over a year so I just need to go.”

Car Stereo (Wars) pops the trunk one last time locally at the Beauty Bar tonight, and promises some special Michael Jackson remixes.
