You're in that tiny club of people that actually get to see their dreams come to fruition, so you should be so chuffed with your efforts... Take care, and thanks again - onwards and upwards for 2009.

- Barbara & Adrian Hannan (Faculty - The Song Store)
- Thanks again for an amazing weekend. I thought the venue might have been a bit distracting, but with the rain outside and the great food and company etc. inside it wasn't a problem. Jason and the rest of the faculty and your crew were fantastic and running Thursday night to Monday made it a really neat getaway.

- Russell Vitnell (Attendee)
- I really want to say that the weekend made me feel like I belonged to the music industry family for the time I was there. I didn't feel judged or criticized or rejected at all, and I felt proud to be an Aussie... I don't know how you found all those wonderful people to get together for that time, but I knew from the first email, that I wanted to be at this conference, and it was the best. All the people I work with can see I am on a high at the moment.

- Rochelle Swift (Attendee)
- This is the first opportunity I've had to sit down and genuinely thank you for the ASC event 2008!!! I learnt more than I ever imagined, through all the amazing faculty on board, especially Jason Blume. I personally want to thank you for giving me the opportunity for all of this, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and have walked away with a better understanding about the industry, not just songwriting. I also have met some amazingly, talented people, including attendees which I plan to stay in touch with.
Please pass on my gratitude to Jason, Neil, and the rest of th faculty for their positive vibe the whole weekend! I look forward to the next one and I will definitely be spreading the word!!

- Dear Lisa,
I wanted to personally thank you for the opportunity you presented to Howard. He hasn't stopeed grinning since ASC started on Friday the 6th! Have a fantastic break and please thank Jason for Howie and I as I know he has made a very positive impact on Howie and helped him to see the convoluted road of songwriting that much clearer, which in turn has made it so much easier. My fondest thanks to a woman of great empathy and skill. Thank you for taking on board something as immense as starting the annual ASC.
- Paula Shearman (Parent of Attendee)
- Thank you Lisa so much. I appreciate everything you have done. I was blown away from the information I received. You truly looked after everything, I couldn't comment on one thing to improve...
- Daxton Monaghan (Attendee)
- Well before I say anything first may I say - OH MY GOD!!!! I know you've had nothing but good feedback so far so let me just confirm that EVERYTHING was amazing! Best weekend ever. Next year will be even better and you can expect me there for sure! Well done. I'm so happy that you got exactly what you wanted and that your realisation actually did come true - it was WAY better than I even thought it would be!
- Nick Roberts (Attendee)
