Update on my daughter's SXSW dreams. She's trying to get booked down there to have a reason to be there. She reached out to the head of SXSW who was

the one sending her emails about her status for SXSW to see if there were any unofficial shows that they might be able to put her in contact with. He told her he loved her EP and still is hoping to find a slot for her. So the dream is not dead yet. She also reached out to PLP's niece so thank you again PLP.

hopefully Kaela can do more than get her 1 set at the pub they have a deal with on weekends. -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 7, 12:18
yay, hoping they work it out! They are always adding some people last minute -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 11:37
nice! you never get anything if you don't push for it. -- nm - Remlik Feb 7, 11:33 2
- I had this conversation with her yesterday. Her personality is very not pushy, so it's out of her comfort zone, but she recognizes the value. -- nm - pmb Feb 7, 11:41 1
  - I mean, you can't go wrong in life by betting on the unreliability of rock stars. -- nm - David Feb 7, 11:46
Nice! Keep pushing! -- nm - David Feb 7, 11:32
are there specific venues hosting the showcases or is it just a matter of finding any spot to play downtown during the fest? -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 7, 11:29 7
- Tons of 'official' day shows (that aren't showcases) but unofficial shows, plus people playing wherever. It's basically non-stop -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 11:38
- There are specific venues for the official showcases. Likely the best places to be seen. Also, I forgot to add, that a label mate from my daughter's - pmb Feb 7, 11:37 5
  - my cousins kid (30s) is in some local bands and advises me this about going indie for sxsw, if that’s a route she might be open to - hollywood big shot Feb 7, 12:14 1
    - Thanks. She has been to SXSW before, but not as performing artist. She got her college degree in music business and the whole program went - pmb Feb 7, 12:40
  - that all sounds really great. -- nm - mud Feb 7, 12:14
  - Yeah if she has connections there to network with, she should definitely go, and I’m sure a performance opportunity will crop up one way or another -- nm - Znufrii, promoted Feb 7, 11:59 1
    - I can't imagine being at SXSW as a musician as a bad thing. A lot of it is the luck of meeting the right person at the right time. SXSW should help. -- nm - Dano Feb 7, 12:07
