Technology

For those of you interested in the music industry, business, marketing yourself and being self sufficient. I highly recommend getting up to date on current tech!

www.Twitter.com is a social network that allows you to 'follow' and be 'followed' by people.  basically, if you use it creatively and appropriately, you could have an update be seen be several hundred people...depending on how many followers you have.  you can follow me at Fenderplyr9009

Blogging... its been around for quite a while, but lately I feel like its really beginning to hit its prime.  there are many different blog sites such as Blogger.com, livejournal, wordpress, etc.. Blogs are incredible marketing tools when used creatively and properly.  

Facebook/ Myspace- If you don't have one, get one.  aside from Twitter's community, Facebook and myspace provide a different kind of social network.  both are growing communities and will probably.. if they haven't already.. cause people to never speak in person.

These are just a few technological things that are incredibly useful if you are interested in marketing yourself/ company etc.

over and out.

The Decemberists
Aqualung
Tony Lee Thomas
Hendrix cover band at Hole in the wall
japanese jazz combo
Citizen Cope
Alana's band
Red Horizon _____
Norwegian band @ bills restaurant
Lil' Boots
Kanye West

Panels I learned a lot from:
Fan Based Marketing
The Sound and the Fury
Marketing
A&R 3.0


Current reaction,
Incredible, contacts, bands, overwhelming amount of music, tradeshow, SESEAC Day Stage, 4th, 5th, and 6th st. raging until well after 2am, friendly atmosphere full of businesspeople shmoozing, Poster show- Flatstock, free contact information, internship opportunities, fun.

more on all of this later, but here are some pictures to enjoy in the meantime!\
