Mentor Lunch Sign Ups? (2015)
Hi Guys--
Looking forward to seeing many of you again in November!
I just got to work and I'm trying to hurry and find the mentor lunch sign-up info and can't seem to. If it's been released, can someone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,

They aren't out yet. It will happen soon, though, I'm sure.

Re: Mentor Lunch Sign Ups? (2015)
I thought we don't sign up until we get there? First come first serve I believe it reads.....
I was wondering more about obtaining the Bio's of the mentors. Do any of you Rally rats from previous years know whether we can access Bios before the rally or if we receive them at Registration Nov. 5th?
Also, curious: how many taxi members typically attend the Rally each year?
Can't wait to meet you all,

Not for the mentor lunches. There is a little extra fee to attend those and you have to sign up ahead of time as it fills up.

Re: Mentor Lunch Sign Ups? (2015)
yes, you sign up on Thursday November 5th. Which means usually the line up starts before noon and people wait all day to get their registration packets and then go down the hall to choose their mentor slots at what is it 5 or 6pm?LesSampou wrote:I thought we don't sign up until we get there?

they distribute them before the actual Rally so you have usually at least a week to read up.LesSampou wrote:I was wondering more about obtaining the Bio's of the mentors.

word is +/- a couple thousand. I think one year there was almost 4k.Also, curious: how many taxi members typically attend the Rally each year?

Ok, thanks Andy....So the mentor lunches, highly rec'd in your opinion and when perhaps do we find out the cost? Thanks so much for helping us newbies out.

Thanks Razor,
Have you attended the lunches with mentors before yourself?

OK - Two different things:LesSampou wrote:Ok, thanks Andy....So the mentor lunches, highly rec'd in your opinion and when perhaps do we find out the cost? Thanks so much for helping us newbies out.

1) Mentor sessions: where you have 1 on 1 time with a mentor (usually of your choice unless you are near the end of the registration line - which is why some people elect to get to LA very early Thursday or Wednesday night, so they can be near the front of the line). If a mentor is impressed and can see a market for your music, they MAY take a CD of your material.
2) Mentor Lunches: Where there are 8-10 members seated around a round table and there are mentors that spend 10 minutes of so at your table and then rotate. The mentors may have things they want to talk about, or they may engage you in learning about what you do or both. Usually the mentor lunches are very loud (there are several hundred people in each one) and so there is some strategy to employ when picking your seat (i.e. next to a monitor usually works great - don't be timid). In years past the lunches were $35 per person per lunch, which got you an omnivorous or vegetarian entree that are always tasty, and the chance to make some connections with mentors, or other members sitting at your table, or in the very least learn a little from the mentor. The Mentor Lunches I believe are usually Friday and Saturday - I have done at least one each year.
Both highly recommended in my view, as that's two of the reasons to go to the Rally - to make connections, and to learn.
However: try not to get tunnel vision and think that you are only succeeding if a mentor takes your music. If you are in this game for the long haul (which for most is the way to succeed) then you will be to a bunch of Rally's and industry events over time and its repeated time with some of these mentors that will eventually lead to you having a chance to work with them. It also takes some time to learn who people are, and what they do. On the first Rally the amount of people and information is a little blinding. Everyone has a different path.
Connecting with other composer / writer / performers is one of the most powerful things about the rally, and meeting the other members at your table is great too (as long as you aren't talking over the mentor - as that is another issue as it is hard to hear in the lunch - its just loud).
