Runways have a beginning and an end - memories don't
Tomorrow I will attend a Runway 36 farewell show at 6:30 at Club 3 Degrees.
I have known these guys for years. They do some things better than anyone else. They are great at promoting, booking, and fan relations.
But the most important thing- they are fun. And they had fun.
I was in the music industry for years, and squandered much of it. I put "contacts" before people, and business before many other things. I am ashamed of much of what I did, although some things I am proud of.
I often tell bands who ask me for advice this: Just have fun. I give you a .01% chance that you will ever be on a label, and a 2% chance you will still be together in 2 years. When you look back on your time together, just make sure you look back on it fondly.
Runway 36 always had fun. They truly enjoyed performing, meeting people, and most importantly, each other. I know they will have nothing but good memories to look back upon. And incredible relationships. Faces. Smiles. Smells. Good times. Bad times. And more faces.
They did it right. They pushed the business, but really didn't lose sight of the fun. Good for you, Runway 36.
May God bless you guys in all that you do, and I can't wait to rock with you tomorrow!
