ROCK TO THE TOP

I had the pleasure of meeting Dayna Steel at SXSW. Dayna wrote this awesome book called "Rock to the Top". My short review is BUY THIS BOOK NOW! Want a little more information? Read on!

For almost two decades, Dayna Steele ruled the airwaves on KLOL in Houston. Not too shabby for a girl who at seventeen didn’t have a clue what she wanted to be when she grew up—other than to be a “star” at something. Well what a luminary she became. Dubbed the “First Lady of Rock,” Dayna has rubbed elbows with true rock royalty—such as the Rolling Stones, Sting, and Van Halen to name just a few.

In “Rock to the Top” Dayna shares the secrets of success she learned, as an award winning rock radio personality, from some of the world’s greatest rock stars. (Gene Simmons wrote the forward for gosh sakes—and he knows everything!) Rockin’ moms will learn much from this business guide that reads more like an issue of Rolling Stone magazine than the boring business section of your local newspaper. Dayna explains topics like branding, networking and technology in ways you are sure to understand. (Not to mention, there are some killer photographs at the end of the book with some of the world’s hottest rock stars. What a life. I’m jealous.)

If you have passion for music, Dayna will show you how you can apply that same zeal in the business world. It’s as easy as do-re-mi.

DAY THREE

I had a hard time sleeping on Friday night. To my surprise I worried about my book signing. What if nobody showed up? (I usually never worry about nuthin'.) Well I must have some sort of angel. Andrew Loog Oldham, the producer of the ROLLING STONES and best selling author had to reschedule his signing and on Saturday morning when I got to the Trade Show I saw on the board that I was signing with HIM! I ran back to tell Tiffany and who should be at the Rockin' Mom booth but Gary Graff of the Oakland Press. I talked to him. I could barely contain my joy. He said he got a copy of my book and is going to do a review of it and he is going to include me in his SXSW news.

We talked to lots more media types on Saturday. Laurie Lindeen stopped by again and hung out with me. She lives in Minnesota. I'm hoping she'll come and see the Mydols in April at the Minneapolis Convention Center. I am going to review her book for RockinMoms.com and I am also going to review Dayna Steele's Rock to the Top. (I met Dayna at the Trade Show too.)

I did a cool interview with Uncensored Interviews, won a free ad on Undiscovered Radio...It was my lucky day. After the show I stopped by the Bust Magazine Party for a little while. Later we hooked up with Kathy and Steven to see Clem Burke's band Magic Christian. They really rocked. Paul Kopf (the lead singer) is such a sweetheart. Went to another party with Kathy and I ended the night hosting the GoGirls Party at a bar called Trophy's.

It was quite a day!
