What to Bring to the Rally
Hi friends,
I'm coming for my first in-person Rally this year. I'm flying in from Switzerland, so I want to ensure that I bring everything I need. What would you say is a must to bring to make as much as possible out of the Rally?
Here's what I'm thinking:
Laptop to take notes, a QR code with a link to my website/IMDb/LinkedIn, ten best tracks of mine on my phone, a few ready-to-publish albums of mine on my phone, Lightening to 1/4" headphone adapter
Anything else? Any other tips to get ready for the Rally?
Thank you.
Michal

Re: What to Bring to the Rally
Swiss chocolates for all of us.
Pen and paper in addition to laptop, sometimes easier.
Business cards. If you already included that when you said QR codes, ignore. I would also print your email address and website the old fashioned way on the cards for those who are tech challenged.
Although CDs are not used as much anymore, I would still take a handful with me just in case. Occasionally someone will want one even though it's less and less how it's done. See posts later down this thread.
See ya there!

Re: What to Bring to the Rally
Thanks a lot, Casey. Great idea about the chocolate. Let's do that! Free Swiss chocolate for the first 5 friends I'll make in The Line.
But seriously, very good advice, thank you. Looking forward to meeting you soon.

Re: What to Bring to the Rally
Thanks for sharing that! It's probably a little dated regarding how much you'll need CDs now, but as I suggested, it's still good to bring some. I should do a new one for 2022!Telefunkin wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 12:28 pmIts always worth a little look around in the forums ...

Re: What to Bring to the Rally
Regarding these CDs, are these to be
1) "Red Book" Audio CDs that normally get played back on standard CD players?
or
2) Data CDs with MP3s on them in a normal computer file structure, similar to what would go on USB sticks?
If 2) then I'll probably just bring USB sticks. Amazon (USA) has a sale right now on ten 2GB sticks for $17. That's only $1.70 each!

Thank you, Paul

Re: What to Bring to the Rally
Just wondering - if I give out my card with my website URL on it instead of a CD, and say "You can listen to my best tracks on my website", is this a good alternative to a CD?
If not, why?
If not, why?

Re: What to Bring to the Rally
Looking at the Happy Ending listings, it look like CDs are no longer accepted. You now have to submit to the proper listing:

S221024DG
