Just finished Entourage's annual Christmas Show, which had a fairly good turnout of 80-100 people.  I didn't send a mailing about this show to my regular list, though.  My regular list consists of my friends who said they would be interested in my shows and a handful of others, about 20 people.  In the last 2 years, I've mailed this list prior to every show - and almost nobody on it has shown up unless they were also part of the show.

So I figure it's time to purge the list and consider how to build a new one.  I also figure it's time to build my network with people who are interested in music and art like I am.  I'm reemphasizing these things in my life, so my social circle ought to reflect that.

I've also been thinking that to be successful as a musician, I can't do it just by myself.  I need partnerships with other creative people to put together a package.

How to get there, I have no real ideas but I'm open to anybody's suggestions.
