Well I got mine yesterday so you should be getting yours soon hombrito. It may be going in reverse alphabetical order so you'd be next in line.

Still have not made up my mind but leaning toward a "Yes".

These events have good intentions, but I'm sure Brian Adams royalty checks could have covered the admission...

Keep in mind, what worked for someone 20/30 years ago, may not work for you tomorrow.

Where as you'd get a helpful tip here & there, there's lots of books that you could keep, for the same price with more info. A good one is: "Confessions of a Record Producer" by Moses Avalon.

If you'd bump into some of these guys in a bar, they're usually happy to talk to you on a 1 to 1 basis. Just find out where they hang out
