New Guests

We all know the steadfast workshop rule. Take workshops with guests that are working on projects that you'd be right for, bla, bla, bla.

Well I wanted to take a minute to talk about the exception to that rule. Because there are always exceptions to rules.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS take a workshop with a NEW guest. Always. ESPECIALLY if you haven't seen them frequently around town in other places. Even if they are doing something that not in a million years you would be right for.

WHY? You say.

Because it's probably one of their first workshops, or one of their first ones in a long time, so before they get inundated with a million postcards, a gazillion phone calls and pitches and emails of "I met you at... blank" be the one they'll remember. Those first few people they meet. They'll remember you, and that can make all the difference.
