You book shows by calling a venue or networking. Duh.

A press packet is useless unless you're in OAR.

A sound guy will always cost too much and still not get it right.

So much for that part.

As for the panel, I would gladly go out of my way to make my music as inaccessible and unlistenable to them(and their questionable musical palettes)as I could. Especially the bloggers and critics.

Word, V. CMC said they will call you when they offer the free colonoscopy clinic.
