So if you haven’t already registered for the March 4^th Master Mind series kick off – you need to get your name in. There are only 50 seats for the initial videotaped panel discussion (doors close at 6:55 p.m.) which will preview experts Keith Schneider from Colorado Music Buzz Magazine and Mike Blecha from Kinnon Entertainment. They will also attend the open after party networking session (8 p.m.-10 p.m.) sponsored by Infinitis Pie in the Tivoli http://infinituspie.com/ and Drum City Guitarland. You don’t want to miss the initial interaction, which will be conversational in nature, allowing you the opportunity ask questions of the panelists.
