In
my last post
I told you about some new
additions to the program
for next week's T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
West conference in Las
Vegas (pre-show networking at
the Bellagio Hotel starts Monday
and continues right up to the show
opening Wednesday evening (May 28),
with the event continuing through
Saturday morning (May 31).

In
that post I noted that Otherwise,
a terrific rock band that has
released three highly regarded
albums, would be playing at the
official T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Party,
sponsored by GetItFido.com
on Thursday night (May 29) in the
Bellagio's Grand Ballroom. I also
mentioned that plans were to have
Otherwise play an acoustic
set so that attendees who never tire
of networking could better hear
themselves talk. However, I added
that given Otherwise's electrical
prowess, it might be even
|
Otherwise
will play at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Party May 29 |

better
if the Century Media recording
artists could also do an amplified
set, perhaps a little later in the
evening when things tend to get a
bit more raucous anyhow.
|
As
if a genie answered "Your wish
is my command" I got a note
from GetItFido founder Neil
Sackmary (who arranged for
Otherwise to play) telling me that,
after consulting with conference
co-founders Rick Schwartz and
Howard Neu, he could confirm
that Otherwise will play an acoustic
set from 9:30-10:15pm, then return
to do a full rock show from
10:45-11:30pm.

I
was more than happy with that news, but
Sackmary took it well beyond what I had
asked for. You will be happy to know
that those autographed guitars mentioned
in the headline are not for me but could
very well be for you! The band is
going to give away an autographed
guitar after their acoustic set, then
give away another one after the
electric set, which will also be followed
by a meet & greet session that
will run until midnight and give you
a chance to talk to the band members and have anything you want signed. And
the hits just keep on coming - |

Otherwise
will also be signing a third guitar for Rick that he will be
auctioning off for charity at Noon Friday
(May 30) right before the Above.com
domain auctions are
completed. |
If
you want to see just how good Otherwise
is, check out the video for "I
Don't Apologize" in my last
post - but before you do that
- check out the one below for "Soldiers"
- a tribute to fighting men and women that
has become another one of the band's most
popular anthems:
