MIDEM Updates
http://midem.com/App/homepage.cfm?appname=100508&moduleid=411&campaignid=11657&iUserCampaignID=46321358
go to SHOWS...and find some live Rotary Downs on the official MIDEM website.
Chris, J Clark and i are just getting off our full day of airplanes and decompression to finally be back to our respective homes. it feels good. I wouldn't suggest flying to France w/ your buddies to only stay for 2.5 days. And most of those days were spent loading in, travelling in shuttles, or schlepping gear. But it was a unique experience to network with some of the most innovative music business folks in the world. Picture the Convention Center with 3 levels of booths housing companies from every country, sending their distribution, labels, pressing, booking, DVD manufacturing companies to one place.
Buzz bands, buzz words, hi-heels, guitar-hero, networking bizness cards interchanging hands, and ear protection...this was MIDEM,...all day. And RD got to play an evening showcase. IT was a blast.
Just don't eat the chicken on Air France..

Rotary Downs in France....
18/1/09
Hello everyone..reporting 6 hrs ahead right now. - we left the US at 3ish on Sat. and arrived at our hotel at 3p on Sunday (actually 9am US) in Cannes after 3 planes, 3 airports, and a few transports...it's pretty overwhelming here...the worlds largest music industry conference and on the beautiful French Riviera no less.
After checking in and getting that done, we walked around a bit, and ate some pretty bad food in the tourist district of Cannes. My Bolognese Spaghetti was a pound of pasta w/ a 1/2 a cup of ground beef and oil. and damn we paid for it. Looks like we'll have to shell out the big bucks in Cannes for some authentic eats. I guess my taste buds have aquired that Gas Station Po-Boy mentality living in New Orleans. You can really go anywhere and get great food.

went to sleep at about 7:30 pm last night - was beat down. woke up at 7am on today and walked out my back garden deck to an open sunrise on the Mediterranean. Can't beat....more to come
