Where are you guys?
Hi!
I've been following this thread for some time and frankly I'm amazed that there is so little action going on here.
Last year (my first time) there was a HUGE response before the actual event took place, and everyone came out of the closet to say how much they were looking forward to the BIG LA do. But now there is hardly anything on the board ...
Well, let me tell you. My first time at the Road Rally was awesome. It put my songwriting in perspective, warts and all. It also made me many new friends which also formed a co-write with a new friend that actually came to be directly heard by Springsteen (Yes, The Boss) who claimed to like what he heard. What happens from there on we'll only have to hope for, but whatever happens or does not happen, Springsteen still liked our song.
And this would never have happened without me taking my painstaking 14 hour flight to LA last year.
And that is why I will be making the same terrible journey this year. Perhaps another opportunity will pop up when I meet my old friends and make new ones.
Whatever, I'm really looking forward to everything that the Road Rally has to offer, but most of all to getting to know even more people who share my interest and passion for songwriting and all the frustration and challenges that it brings into our lives .
So where are you guys? Let's hear it from you! Yeah, we love the Rally!!!

Re: Where are you guys?
The funny thing about my Taxi ride is I'm so happy where I've ended up, I don't take the time to talk about my music adventure in the forum. Some detours caused me to miss the Rally two years in a row, but I'll be back this year!

I'll be there! I've been swamped at work all year, but can't wait for the rally. Dean is in luck because I owe him a beer for great advice he gave me
