Indianapolis, Indiana- Max Booking Conference with my Lo cup!! Pink is my color.

Would you believe that right outside my hotel window there is a butterfly painted on the wall while I work?? Seriously! I am not kidding!! Sometimes I think I live the most wonderful, magical life. And…I have the photos to prove it!

As GSC members are aware, my husband Lou has booked talent into venues nationwide for the past 20 years. Lou and I are a great team and love being able to put talent to WORK making a living with their gifts and talents.

Often our paths connect and we love helping each other succeed. I have several GSC members doing showcases at the conference like Alyssa Jacey. What a nice surprise.

I am working on a member newsletter telling you of so, so many GSC success that are happening behind the scenes while we work together. It is work! But so much FUN when we get results for our efforts. Check out AJ Bisto’s “Key of G Live” show that is on tour and attend if you can!

Enjoy the photos and remember I am here to help YOU get to your personal next level.
