IMMERSE

So as you probably gathered from my last post, work as been a bit busy as of late. Not only did we just finish the Hall of Fame, we are also gearing up for one of our biggest events in April, GMA Music Week which is followed by the Dove Awards. And while that's all well and good (and quite time-consuming I might add), what I'm really excited about is our brand new event coming this summer - IMMERSE.

Some of you may remember me talking about our event called Music in the Rockies, which was held every summer in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado. Well, after 39 years, our Board decided the event needed some fresh life, so the decision was made to move the event here to Nashville (where every musician & songwriter wants to come, anyway) where we will have much easier access to our industry, including artists, industry pros, businesses, etc.

The past months have been quite busy as we work to not only keep our current events running smoothly, but also to create this new event from the ground up - and it has been so fun to be a part of this process! I work with some incredibly creative people, and as a team, I think we've come up with a pretty awesome event. We'll have classes on everything from the craft of songwriting, to music publishing, to booking, to wardrobe & styling for artists, and we'll also have incredible opportunities for fieldtrips and venues that you can only find in Music City.


Anyway, I'm sure I'm boring some of you so I'll stop there. If you're interested, you can check out our awesome website designed by one of my coworkers: http://www.experienceimmerse.com/. (And if you know anyone that might be interested in the event, please send them our way!) You can even find a picture of yours truly on the staff page of the FAQ section :-) Just thought a few of you might like to hear a bit more about what I do at work that doesn't involve dressing up or waiting for the day to end!

I'll be sure that Kyle B. sees this post. By the way, you look beautiful! (I know I'm your mom, but you really do.)

And I'M not your mom either, but you do look beautiful in that picture. Striking! Sounds like you have a fun job. Sounds hectic, too. But what a blessing. I will be moving to LA to catch up with Dan. He's been commuting since November and he decided to go ahead and stay with American Eagle. So he is going to try to find a place near LAX and then I will give notice at the church. :( But Liz and her husband are in Long Beach and Danielle can get to us easier for visits - just fly direct to LAX. Say hi to Dan for me.

Well, I'm not your mom either (although I was delighted to be a second-rate substitute for a few years!) and am TOTALLY unbiased - but wow! - that's a beautiful picture. And, I'm still a little jealous about your job!!
Love you!
