I am terrible at self promotion. I’m terrible at promotion of all kinds. I didn’t go to school for marketing and branding. I went to music school to learn how to make toot sounds into a 12-foot metal pipe sounds pretty ok sometimes.
Along the way I’ve picked up a few more skills that may or may not have been helpful with all the degrees and ‘ologies and ‘isms I’ve studied. But Gigmas is bearing down on us once again and here is a partial list of thigns I’m up to for the next two months. Hope to see you there. Bring snacks.
