It's Gospel Music Week in Calgary. I almost didn't come this year. I'm glad I did!This week is about seminars, worshops, worship and showcases. Oh, and the Covenant Awards.
Today I hung out with the SHINE-FM radio people at the radio track. The sessions were "ok". Beth BaCall from STAR in New York hosted on track that was exceptional. She invited five Calgary Christian radio listeners to sit on a panel while she (Beth) and us in the audience, asked questions - like a focus group. The five listeners told us how they felt about Christian radio, how they spend their time, things they love and how they use social media. (1 in 5 of them tweets; 1 in 5 has an iPhone, 5 of 5 use Facebook, 4 of 5 are involved in their church.)
Radio and artists love to schmooze, me included. It was cool seeing old friends and meeting new friends.
It's been a long day - it feels like a week has passed. I didn't get dinner til 11:30pm. Haha!
Tomorrow, more of the same, concluding with the Covenant Awards - the Christian music awards for Canadians. Unfortunately it is not broadcast on TV.
Calgary is an awesome city. Not as cool as Ottawa, but very close!
I miss the gym and my poodle!
Dude, I wish I knew you were here.
