Beverly Hills was where Weezer want- ed to be, and Phantom Planet couldn’t wait to get to Orange County. Even Frank Sinatra couldn’t resist the lure of the United States’ third-largest state, singing that California was “a land that paradise could well be jealous of.” by melanie jarrett So just what is it about California that has inspired longing in everyone from early Span- ish missionaries to intrepid gold rushers to aspiring starlets and Silicon Valley entrepre- neurs? Our bet is on a diverse geography that ranges from the barren desert of the Mojave in the southeast to the towering Redwood forests of the northwest, to the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains in the east and the sunny stretches of the Pacific Coast in the west. califor nia HUNTINGTON BEACH CONFERENCE AND VISITORS BUREAU 96 SPIRIT MAY 2012 MAY 2012 SPIRIT 97 TRAVEL PROMOTIONAL SERIES Cars Land is coming!

It’s diffi cult to express in words my excitement to be here, at WEA, working with the best sales organization in the music biz. In addition to an all new product line, we will now be working with some new accounts. Retailers who do not buy prerecorded music make up half of all the merchandise business. If you think you met some crazy eccentric folks in the CD business, get ready to have some real fun. Every new store will have different buyers, different priorities, different real estate, and any other combination of variables. Fear not, the strength and potential of the new opportunities will outweigh the challenges. You are not alone. I am personally committing myself to each of you. I want you to be 100% comfortable with what you are about to do. If anyone has any uneasiness or lacks confi dence in their knowledge of the product or pitch, I am here for you. I will spend all the time necessary to talk you through any obstacles.
