to hear a songwriter and fellow contestant write reviews, but I was a fan
before I was a performer! There was so much greatness around, but I was
especially taken by the following "folks":

If you ask me, this is a key reason for entering these festival competitions
anyway -- to get to meet and hang out with other "up-and-coming" writers you
might not otherwise cross paths with so easily. To me, it's always been more
about the comraderie than the competition. Your post is a great example of
that.
Thanks for passing along a few new names to keep an eye (and ear) out for...

I was also watching the Real World on MTV Tuesday night and heard
Ellis Paul's "Deliver Me." I almost fell out of my chair. I thought about
writing to MTV and congratulating them on their great choice of artists
but then realized that there was no chance that they appreciated him. So
goes the corporate music world... Anyway, I just wanted to mention that I
saw Ellis a few weeks ago at the Night Eagles in NY and was amazed by him.
Thanks for the show, Ellis!
