sunset sessions. basically a few day industry party in the hills of sunny san diego country club style completely void of average band digs. better said, not one person on stage could afford to be here any other week of the year, or live in the neighborhood. very posh, and accommodating, but stale. i didn't get the vibe of celebrating creativity. more so, like a large boxing ring of bands in their respective corners while their mgmt spread the vasoline over the cuts to minimize bleeding and spouting words of encouragement while they peak around the corner to get a better look at the opponent. not really about the bands or music, but more for industry reps to use the company dollar to throw a party. a fitting pic and logo because when i think of music and conferences to further artist success and celebrate creativity i picture an attractive slim woman lying half naked in a grass skirt on the beach under a palm tree sipping fruity drinks while an instrument leans in the area. i imagine every band that saw that immediately found comfort and reassurance that they were a part of something hip and cutting edge. alas, a good time and appreciated chance to hang with friends of other showcasing acts. a short set that proved to be good choices for the environment. the reaction was good, and the connection was in the room if it was to be made. great coffee and dinner. there is something about big brassy coffee dispensers, a guy in a tuxedo tending the area, white table cloths, and clean heavy white coffee mugs that excites me. but stay away from that cream cheese bread cracker thing. not good. live and learn.
