I always try to do a little research about whomever I'm trying to make contacts with. Like, if I go to a show I'll research everyone that the performers have ever worked with, that way if I meet someone there and recognize their name I can impress them by being like "Oh, you worked on the so-and-so project, didn't you?" and pull out the most obscure thing that I know about them. It takes extra time on my part, but I really think that people remember me because of it.

I am good at mastering, but I can't master my own things, I need distance from the material to do it.
