Cambridge in the morning...

The coffee is from Canadia Land... it was gawd awful pricey... but it's pretty good. Kicking Horse Roasters Kick Ass Dark Roast.

I'm thinking I should make sure I have a place to stay tonight so I can't forget to email my pals... I know they appreciate knowing when I might show up. I want to take my 22 year chip at meeting. That would be something really good I can do for myself.

We are talking about marketing and the best ways to bring out crowds to shows.. and really it boils down to planning in advance and being great with people. That pretty much sums it up. If you want to get it done right you have to plan.

That is not my natural state.

It's a really good lesson for me.

Strangely, booking stuff has got me thinking smarter. But it's because of a bunch of things. It's not just routing.. but also how to keep it fresh, where the good rooms are, what's the strongest bill... it's not just about the money... at all. I don't want to be in an office booking but I do love learning more about it and doing to the best of my ability.

Being around some of these uber smart women is good for me... and just listening. A vast majority of conversations that are happening around me are not for me to join into. So I listen. I'm getting pretty good at it. I still can't tell you what was said, but I am like a little larvae... developing on the inside. Taking what I like and leaving the rest.

I am so committed to remaining teachable. I am so hungry for this. It's not obsessive crazy... but it's there. I am where I am supposed to be. I know that.

I think the hunger is usually the answer. (=
