T A X I.COM INDUSTRY LISTINGS *******************************************UPDATED 11/1/2012******************************************* TAXI, 5010 N. Parkway Calabasas, Suite 200, Calabasas, CA 91302 Please call 818 222 2464 if you have problems or questions **************************************************************************************************************** For anyone who starts with a baseline of motivation and talent, a year in TAXI and one visit to the Road Rally will do more for you than ten NAMM shows worth of schmoozing Stephen Fortner, Editor, Keyboard Magazine Dear Passengers, When the editor of a venerable publication like Keyboard prints a statement like this in the front pages of his magazine, doesn t it make you wonder why you haven t come to a TAXI Road Rally yet? I m skeptical of any service that offers to help musicians make it so I didn t know what to expect. 90% of [the TAXI Road Rally] was the most focused, specific, high quality advice I ve ever seen distributed in a seminar format. I almost never come away from anything like this even remotely impressed, let alone enough to write an editor s letter about it. I now believe that for anyone who starts with a baseline of motivation and talent, a year in TAXI and one visit to the Road Rally will do more for you than ten NAMM shows worth of schmoozing Stephen Fortner, Editor, Keyboard Magazine You ve still got a week before this year s Road Rally kicks off in Los Angeles. I guess you could go to one of the other large scale music conferences like the one a friend of mine went to last week. It didn t have 88 Breakout Classes like the Road Rally. It didn t have a Mentor Luncheon like the Road Rally, and it only had two days of panels, not THREE DAYS of 17 Top Notch Panels like the Road Rally. It also didn t have FREE One to One Mentor Sessions like the Road Rally. And it didn t have two Open Mic Stages going for three consecutive nights either! What Did That Other Conference Cost? As much as $500 for just one ticket! What Does the Road Rally Cost? The Road Rally costs nothing. If you re already a TAXI member, you get TWO TICKETS for FREE! If you re not a current member of TAXI, join now for just $299, and get TWO FREE TICKETS to the Road Rally included in your membership! It s coming up in a week, so the time to act is now!! How badly do you think that guy who dropped $500 to go to the other conference feels now? He could have gotten WAY more conference and a year s worth of TAXI s 1,200 opportunities for his music! He also could have gotten professional feedback on his music all year long, the best online forum for networking with collaborators, and weekly episodes of TAXI TV featuring advice, feedback, and even more industry networking! Want to see the Road Rally panels and classes? Click here. Want to Join TAXI, Renew your membership, or sign up for the Road Rally? Click here. See you in a week! Michael P.S. This was written before Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast of U.S. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you who have been affected by the storm. It s one thing to see it on TV it s another to live it! We hope you ve come through unscathed. 1
