TAXI RALLY IN NASHVILLE -please use this thread

[squids]

Well, girl, we'll see, won't we?

Personally, I would not go to an expensive unponsored event seperate from the official rally "just to meet" taxi members. The whole point of the Rally is to get access to successful pros, not fellow anateurs. For this, I just have to go to the local bar...tons of "songwriters" there On the other hand, I would definitly pay for a more expensive "Taxi Platinum" event , similar to the Jeffrey Steele bootcamp minus the country-only focus. LA is perfect. Plane tickets are cheap and it's easier for international atendees. Also, I figure that the proximity to TAXI's headquarters can help reduce the cost. I've been going to tech conferences for years and let me tell you that to do any type of conference/rally for less than 100K in potential liabilities is a miracle in efficiency My 2 cents,PS: I clarified my point in bold since people were not reading the whole thread and assuming I was talking about the rally itself.Vermeer

Who you calling an anateur, bub? The Rally is not an anateur-filled event. If I could afford it, I'd be there every year. By the same token, if Taxi would ever announce a "platinum event", who do you think would attend? Professionals who already have the connections or those who are seriously on their way?The Road Rally has everything except the anateurs... They get together at the Missplelling Dickshunary Rallie... Hehheh...

I like it when a debate erupts on a thread 'coz that thread will be on fire, and it also keeps the Nashville Rally idea alive.....keep at it, folks! This thread was dead in the water, so it's a blessing.

@Gilbert,Dude, Calm down... For some reason, you misread what I wrote and instead of saying "My mistake", you try to frame me as some kind of hate-mongering-PC-bashing-know-it-all-putting-down-your-hard-working-friends? Mhmmm. I don't quite know what to say about that...You sure got me... If you were in Montreal, I'd invite you to my place to see that I'm not that evil, but you're in BC...oh well Vermeer

Well, there's not gonna be a clear winner in this one... Let's go to the score cards... It's a draw!Has anybody ever thought of suggesting to Michael that he permanently move Taxi and everything else to Nashville? I think it's a better idea than just a mini rally...All in favor... Say "y'all"...

Say "y'all"... From what I understand most of L. A.'s moving to Nashville anyway, so that's not a bad idea.

I don't think you're evil at all. You bring lots of great opinions to this forum. I didn't misread what you wrote. That's Ok if you don't know what I'm talking about.Hook, I'll have to start working on my drawl. All y'all r jes so wonnaful.Personally, I'd love for the Rally to be in Nashville(or New Orleans), as well as the Taxi office in Nashville. But that is one helluva big move. Somehow I think ML would've already done it, if it was in TAXI's best interest. Quote:@Gilbert,Dude, Calm down...

Why didn't I think of that!".We should suggest it... Hehheh...Chits, I think they're getting out before it falls in the water! And that's ANOTHER good reason for Michael to move it all to Songsville...

Well, not to be selfish but I vote for a move to Nashville! California got some freak stuff goin on there.....earthquakes, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, avalanches . La Brea tarpits flowing with lava (don't tell me all y'all didn't see that movie, lol).......
