Droptine,

(I'm gonna figure you out yet.)It is about focus and direction. If you will do three things every trip:

#1 Network as much as possible. Meet friends and COLLECT BUSINESS CARDS! Find out about other people and what they are doing. Put your ego aside and get to know people. Be genuine.

#2 Write as much as possible. Hopefully your trip with me have given you some insights into ways to approach people and getting the best bang for your buck. hopefully you when you are in town, you meet a lot of people and set up for your next trip. Collect cards, write down where you know them, CONTACT them when you get home and foster the relationship for the future.

#3 Perform. Meet the hosts, meet other writers to do rounds with. When you get your shot, play interesting songs that stand out. Listen to the other boring people, where they lose audiences, what their subject matter is, and avoid that like the plague.

#4. Be yourself.
