Best quotes from the Rally? Sure, I'll start it...

Post by gklosner » Tue Nov 08, 2011 12:32 am

What a great weekend, and we got to meet such friendly and talented people!
So, I thought we could all list some good quotes from the weekend, in case you remember any. I know Michael had a few off the cuff ones in the panels that were pretty funny. But here were two that came up while talking about people that want to hire artists for free, so the artists can get "exposure":

"Exposure is something you die of or get arrested for." - John Fulford
"Exposure just exposes you to more people who want to give you another gig for exposure." - Cher Klosner Lane (yeah, my sis)

Any other quotes to document our weekend? :-)

LOL

Whoa! The best quotes thread is a cool idea! There where so many pearls of wisdom! Here's a few

'If you treat it like a hobby, you'll get paid like if it were a hobby' - MIchael Laskows Dad

'I don't sit down with any degree of confidence. I'm still learning' - Charles Fox

'Give them what they ask for. It may, however, not necessarily require your genious idea!' - Charles Fox

'Just because you play slow music doesn't mean it's New Age' - Suzanne Doucet

'Nobody hums chord changes! It's all about the melody. Write a melody that burns the brain. Since it's the most important element, it MUST be re-written' - Jason Blume

And one of the best quotes answering the question 'How to present yourself as a professional in the online music world?' :lol:

'DON'T BE STUPID' - David Trotter

Wow, just looking at the names of the people I've quoted makes me feel humbled I was even at a place where I could hear them, meet them and learn from them.

Ciao!
