It's about time I mentioned this, and I thought about it last night after I purchased my airfare for this event. I'm more than aware that I'll be brushing elbows with and riding the shoulders of industry ******* giants. Giants whose knowledge I find both fascinating and enviable. I really mean that. I only have a van because other folks helped me. I cleaned a rug at home the other day (likely not again after this) because someone took a bunch of their own time to answer questions.
I could go on, and I have a tendency to do just that, but I wanted to tell you all "thank you" for everything you've all done for me, collectively.
I'm attending this event with only one piece of knowledge, and that's that I have almost NO knowledge; I'm relying on everyone else to guide me. You folks, I hold you in the same esteem as my hero guitarists and vocalists at this point (no kidding), and I can't wait to meet you all and absorb as much as I can before I leave. I'm bringing nothing to the table, but I wanted you all to know that I may be a Johnny-come-lately to the subject, but I starve for knowledge. I'm hard in the paint with my new career and failing is simply not on the table. I trained new police officers for many many years and some of them showed up like their shit didn't stink. You guys are amazing for doing this. I really honestly hope that if I attend this event again, I can bring something along that contributes to the good of the group and the industry. I felt I needed to mention this before I show up all wide-eyed and green.
Thank you all.
