Hey there, folks,

There was a post on Craigslist here in Dallas saying "Major Record Label A&R looking for Dallas Bands". It told of a place at the Galleria to go to, and dig this, in 4 days for an audition. So, I googled them, found a website and tried to register, but the screen kept flickering and wiping out my info. It was very frustrating, so I gave up. I became suspicious so I found a thread to JPF with some similar info on it.....This company claims to be the "leader" in the industry as in this A&R Select group.

Could this also be a scam? Has anyone ever heard of these people? I really was excited to go, but I don't want to get there and they hit me up for a $30.00 entry fee. I'll bet every wanna be hip hop artist will be there. Their ad in Craigslist is at http://dallas.craigslist.org/muc/340846956.html

And it bugs me that they zoom into town, and auditions are in 4 days at The Galleria in Dallas, and those accepted will play a showcase in mid July. It's almost like they're trying to catch people off guard, and not giving them time to think.

BTW, one of my new songs "Searching" (my best to date) mentions JPF in the second verse, thought you'd like to know. It's on www.garageband.com/artist/markchristopher
