Warrior Girl Music eNews
a little bit of gilli moon monthly in your inbox
Sept 2012 G'day peaceful warriors, gilli moon here. I wrote a whole newsletter and my browser crashed. Don't you hate that? So now I'm re-writing my newsletter and trying to make sense of what I wrote before. I can only assume it will be better. Ok, here goes.... August was a hot month in LA but we whisked off to Virginia Beach for some cool down by the sea. That was fun. Still, it seems so long ago. We also had a packed Cork Lounge Gig in Sherman Oaks, and I would have to say it was one of the best shows our band has done in recent times. What a great venue. This month is filled with action and fun too. It never ends does it!?! Starting this coming week, I will be sitting in on my hubby J.Walker's show in Pasadena @ Cafe Bizou, Tuesday Sept 18. Then, on Fri Sept 21, a new gig for yours truly at TRiP in Santa Monica, and I haven't played there before. So all my West side friends and fans, please come on down to the free show! It's a Hollowbody show and all details at the end of this newsletter. It's at 8pm so early enough and some of us could go get a bite after. Now, if you're an artist and into some career inspiration, I have a ton of stuff going on. Tomorrow, Sunday I host the Songsalive! LA songwriters workshop. Then, a few speaking engagements in October and November. Funny how it heats up in the Fall here for music conferences. One is for Billboard/Hollywood Reporter Music Conference and I'll be talking about being an Artist Entrepreneur on Oct 24, 5pm. I'm excited to have my girlfriends Kristy Coote (AUS) and Deborah Bishop (Nashville) come all the way out to help at the conference. I love you girls! The other speaking engagement is at the Taxi Road Rally, and I'll be running my workshop, "Just Get Out There" after my book of same name (justgetoutthere.net) plus will be hangin' in the Book Room. All details at end of newsletter. In other news: Thank you to all who helped vote for our Small Business Grant for Skillz in June and July. We did not get the grant. Instead of supporting at risk youth ventures, they decided to support pizza parlours, plastic companies and other non descript ventures. weird but there is it. Still, check out SKILLZ at www.skillzcd.com Buy the CD for your kidz. ;) Plus, I'm sharing some artist resources at the end for discounts to upcoming music conferences, my artist one on one coaching, and Songsalive! I cannot say enough that opportunity comes when you ARE looking. Read what comes in your inbox. You'll be surprised what might be waiting for you that could change your life.

new one!Never Too Old
by gilli moon
If you're at a certain age where you are starting to feel like you are "too old" for what you want to do, think again: perhaps you're just looking at it the wrong way. Being in the music business, I have heard countless times from artists how they have been told they are "too old" to achieve music success. Being an overnight sensation takes decades. It is unrealistic to assume that success if overnight. Talk to any business person, and they will say that creating a successful business takes many years, and maturity. Yes, there are flukes. Perhaps sheer luck, timing, or being at the right place, or knowing the right people. But a business that keeps their success over a period of time usually takes time to become successful, and takes a lot of work to stay successful. continued...
