My previous feelings weren't as broad as "I just want to have fun and make music", but my efforts were mostly geared towards just making great music and trying to get it out to as many people as possible. While that's an obvious desire, it didn't occur to me that I'd need a mapped goal sheet. Now that I've begun doing that it's importance has become abundantly clear. Add to that a confession of not pro-actively contacting local press. Mostly I'd attribute that to apathy but I'd also faintly attribute it to ignorance to the process. These educational tools you've been sharing with us has helped me tremendously. The open sharing of ideas are helping the Houston music community FINALLY come together in a tangible way.

I haven't yet run into a band/musician that would rather not see themselves in writing. It was fun. I feel like we could all spend a week together and still be talking at the end of it.
