West Indian Girl

on monday i was in sf speaking on a panel at the sf music tech summit. special thanx to jean cook, john mcdermott, and layne fox (pic) and for making our panel rock so fucking hard. this conference is going to get better and better every year – it’s a conference filling a void. as a result of our panel i think more artists or the “artist voice” will be better represented in the future. for real – any musician that is serious about their band should attend and attend with an agenda – dont just go there to listen to most of the speakers pontificate and not really say anything that u can relate to. 9 times out of 10 this stuff will go in one ear and out the other. go there with a plan — how and what and who can help my band improve its quality of life.  if you think about this before hand in conjunction with a possibly semi unpleasant self inventory of your own band then u wont be disappointed. thanx zisk – had a blast! ben cook, heidi richman, tony van veen – u all shoot from the hip and i love it. highlight of the day for me was meeting bram cohen…the guy who wrote bittorrent – that’s a guy we should all thank.
