Back from the Convention
Saturday, November 12th, 2005I just stepped in a few hours ago from the Podcasting Convention in Ontario, CA … I took a few photos from it and will post those after I download them from the camera. I’ll try to get those posted by tomorrow.
The Expo was fun…I snagged Rufus to come along with me [since he's into electronic gadgets, computer software, and other forms of technology as well] and I think he enjoyed it too. Though the convention was geared more at podcasters rather than musicians, I still enjoyed myself.
I was happy to get to meet Chris AKA "C-Dogg"… who did a quickie interview with me for his weekly show. [I'll post more pictures from that tomorrow]
Chris was pimpin’ me to some of the other podcasters he knew there. Let me just say…how great it is to have someone saying something nice about you to others.
Back when I was in a band, I could easily pump up the group to other people and "sell it"….it’s much easier to say…"hey, check out the band I’m playing in, we rock"…etc… But now doing the whole "solo thing"…saying "hey check me out, I’m great" just does not seem to work. LOL
And so…the trick is, how to learn to do self-promotion without coming across as an ego-monster-maniac. I don’t think I do that great a job at it… but I try. And so…I’m ultra-thankful when someone else has some nice words to say… It’s a huge relief. I think anyone who does any sort of art knows what I’m talking about.
Oh…here’s a picture Val took last night. My hair grew back pretty fast eh? Just over a month ago, I was damn close to being bald.
Basically, I was just digging the new Racer X Jacket and wanted to have a few shots taken in it. I have a couple others I like but I’ll spare you all the jacket modeling session …this is enough to see what it looks like.
I STILL have not been able to find a pair of jeans I like for a reasonable amount. The jacket was cheaper than ANY pair of jeans I looked at. Sad.
Well… I’m really tired for some reason. It’s not as though I spent the day at Disney Land, but my body sort of has that same feeling like I’d been waiting in line for a ride. Weird.
Oh…back to the Portable Media Expo for a second… I walked away with a handful of business cards that I need to go through and add to my podcast feeds. This might take a few days to organize, but I look forward to checking these out.
More soon…
