The Song Fight Bulletin Board

I go to these things now and then, sponsored or arranged by NARIP. Usually presented by professionals, though, not industry talking heads. This is a series of Sundays in NYC which is good for me. The LA series is all over the week. Just thought I'd put it out there. Whether or not you want to do any of this stuff, you learn a lot about the industry.
