Packing for Denver
Today I’m packing for a trip to Denver, CO, to attend the National Performing Arts Convention 2008. It’s quite a thing – performing arts organizations and artists of all shapes and sizes are gathering together to figure out how we can work more cohesively to create a sustainable future for the performing arts in the U.S. Some larger organizations have invited an assortment of individual artists to lend a voice to the discussions. There will be a gaggle of composers in the house, and we’ve been encouraged to jump right in and let everyone know about the sorts of things we do, the issues encounter as creators, and how our work contributes to the artistic climate. I think it is going to be very, very interesting!
Do you think I should bring the powdered wig??

In other news, it seems I am not the only tech geek in the family! My brother just sent over this frighteningly accurate virtual self-portrait:
Clearly there needs to be far more delgation of Gardner Technical Director projects. Watch out, bro!
One response so far
Good luck in Denver! I was planning on going as well… but did some traveling and not enough money making this spring, so had to opt out. I have mixed feelings about these sorts of events in general. Eager to hear about it, though. I hope the trip is fruitful for you.
