THE HOTEL IS BOOKED! By the time I started my fundraiser the hotel that the conference is being held was sold out of rooms but I was able to secure a room at the Hilton hotel across the street which is the next best thing. Fellow Philadelphia based music maker and songwriter Lia Menaker saw online that I was going to NERFA and reached out to see if we could be roomies and split the cost. That leaves more funds for food, travel, and gear:)
