WHY The Rally is an EXPERIENCE you SHOULDN'T miss
THE EXPERIENCES.
I'd read somewhere that experiences were one of the best investments.
Purchase the moment, and LIVE it.
As time passes, "things" lose their value and become every-day-bleh. But with the passage of time, there are certain experiences you can go back and taste in your memory that become better with every "remembrance."
That's why when I booked my flights to and from the 2015 Rally, I clicked the First Class button. The one time I flew First Class to Tampa Florida (thanks to my new Father-in-Law back in the mid 80s) is something that stood above all the other times I'd flown in coach.
Oh yeah, I spent some $$$ this year (for my wife and I) on airline tickets just to come in and out of LAX in first class, but since I only do this once per year... why the hell not!
BUT!
This goes way beyond the short-term 6 hours I will spend on the Airplane sitting in first class for the second time in my life. I find myself looking at EXPERIENCES from a standpoint of the WHOLE weekend of THE TAXI Road Rally.
There is NO way to put a value on the EXPERIENCES that TAXI members will collect for FREE ADMISSION!
TAXI Members will be surrounded by like-minded artists from all around the GLOBE. They will be sharing Experiences and Thoughts and Ideas.
TAXI Members will be in the same building and rubbing elbows with the Movers and Shakers AND properly-placed Pros in whatever part of this Music Industry they are focusing on.
THIS is the experience that has no value because it is PRICELESS!
Google "spending money on experiences", and you will begin to understand why making the trip to the TAXI Road Rally is MORE than just an Investment.

Re: WHY The Rally is an EXPERIENCE you SHOULDN'T miss
I am a typical story micheal tells.
Signed up for the newsletter in about 2003...
Read it a lot, dreamt about the rally and being a member and submitting to the opps but i wanted to wait til i felt "ready".
Seems i missed the biggest part of taxi which is that it GETS YOU READY!!
Every taxi tv is a masterclass imo, the forum is a classroom...
Opps are assignment's...
Yupp, i am so happy i did and always stoked about collabing with you Russell, when i get they message saying there is a mix in dropbox i swear i start jumping up and down like a kid getting ice cream!!!!
