August 16 is the Netlabel Assembly. #NetlabelDay is a time for us to come together and celebrate the great music in the scene. However, we need to come together more often. Do we need new licenses? Do we need to work more closely with CCHQ? So many questions we need to answer as a community. If you have questions, suggestions, comments, etc., please feel free to send them ahead of time so we can make sure they are addressed. A short thread... Http://meet.jit.si/netlabels

@alien23 idk how often Viktor is checking @friendsofccmusic_ru@mastodon.world but you can find him there. I will send a reminder in the Discord about tomorrow. @Cheesetruck@mastodon.social is in the fediverse as well. I think this link will get you directly in the Discord for the next 30 days if you are into that sort of thing: https://discord.gg/sVCDKgTnQ And by "you" I mean literally anyone reading this.

it&#39;s official. I am going to #Tokyo #Japan in January 2027! Lots of things to do like get hotels and a return flight, but my wife has both legs booked and I have a flight there. Vacation still needs to be approved too, but that does not seem like a huge obstacle. We are probably not going to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, but probably will go see Mt. Fuji. Any suggestions in that general radius around Tokyo are very welcome! We will go back to see the other cities in the future.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@lorenzosmusic/116540280513664110 As people that have been paying attention to me know I have been involved in music events since 2000. Super hoping @tmray can get this off the ground, and ready to provide whatever resources we can through @friendsofccmusic At some point, more info will be coming on the website!

@EricBono my wife is a city girl. Not sure she&#39;ll be down with hot springs. Maybe once she&#39;s a little more comfortable with Japan

RE: https://mastodon.social/@musicman/116541189595912687 Soooooo, sounds like we *may* go to #Kyoto as well. Is overcrowding a problem in January? Aside from the standard &quot;dont be an asshole,&quot; anything we can do to make sure we aren&#39;t part of the problem?
