CMJ Day 1
Just got to New York, will be here all week for the CMJ Conference.
I am writing this from the 48th-floor balcony of a friend’s condo, overlooking Central Park, just off Broadway. I’ll be staying here for the entire convention – it’s empty anyhow, they only use it when they are in New York – and that requires them being in the country. Remember – it’s all about relationships! ;)
Should be a great couple days. Haven’t been to CMJ since 1996, although I am sure nothing has changed. Oh wait – I am no longer the music director of one of the biggest college stations, so I guess I can expect less ass-kissing from the labels.. Damn, now *I* have to be the one kissing ass! Hah..
Anyway, I’ll be reporting from the road. Lots of good panels, TONS of amazing bands. I just got in, took the red-eye out of Los Angeles last night, so I am BEAT. Time to get a little rest, then away I go.
More to come, soon.
