If you're interested in being listed in the Chronicle's Local Bands database (to launch early 2005) and you find the process of sticking your CD in a mailer and sending us your MP3 agreement just too difficult, I will be at the Meridian on Dec. 14th to pick up press kits and MP3 agreements. Here is the exact description from Ian Varley of the Houston Music Roundtable: "The Meridian is having another musicians mixer and "industry night", and this time the Houston Music Roundtable is an official sponsor (look ma, we're official!). So come hang out and meet Houston music folks. Among this month's attendees will be Sara Cress (Houston Chronicle), Taki Pappas (Pace Concerts), Aaron Gossney & Amber Lanphier (Universal Music), Joshuan Mares (Propaganda Promotions), and more. Oh, and me. Heh." The Meridian is located at 1503 Chartres on the outskirts of downtown. See you there.
