All Checked In: Garth Radio Seminar

I'm 20 stories above Nashville, all checked in to what they are calling "Garth Radio Seminar." A little play on the usual "Country Radio Seminar" that they hold each spring here in Music City. I have a great view of the Capitol building, high speed internet, and my very own Big Machine t-shirt. Can't complain, eh?

They've given us the full rundown of the weekend events (they're feeding us well!) and one slight disappointment is that they're saying no cameras at GRS events. Hmm. That doesn't make my blogging as much fun.

They have a full day of events for us tomorrow. One thing that did clear up, once I saw the schedule, was this press conference thing which is happening tomorrow, but is separate from the radio event. He's actually spending an hour and half doing the same sort of thing with us, in a session called "The Man, The Plan, The Music," BEFORE the press conference, then the next event is "Announce it to the World" where he does the public press conference that will be streamed live on GarthBrooks.com. It will be deja vu for those of us who are going to both. Then there's lunch and several more events after that.

All of that is tomorrow, however - first we have to get through tonight! Up first on the agenda is Party #1 - a dinner and showcase by Big Machine to introduce radio to their new act "Kingbilly." This is one of the off site events they are bussing us to, at a club here in Nashville that I've never been to before.

Will check in with you later! Oh, if you comment and you're not one of my regular posters, please post what city/ state (or country) that you're blogging from. I can see in my site stats, but it's cool for everyone else to see too!
