Emily has been excited about this concert ever since I told her about it. Of course she was originally mad that she wasn’t allowed to enter the contest to win tickets out there, but she got over it when I told her we could still watch it.

Today at 3 pm EST there is a free […]

Some of the tips I gave for companies thinking of using video as part of their marketing programs included:

The audience has changed, you need to change with it.
Where, when […]

As I write this, I can see one of my favorite things in the world, the red rocks of Arizona. Ever since I first visited here many moons ago to speak at a Microsoft event I have loved it out here. I’ve been back a couple of times and unfortunately there will be no time […]

Writing this at 3:30 am over a bowl of stale Frosted Flakes isn’t the best way to write a blog post. Of course, I didn’t know they were stale until I took my first spoonful and at that point I’m not going to throw them away because that is just a waste. Thinking about it […]

Attending and speaking at New Marketing Bootcamp today. If nothing else it is great because I get to see good friends that I hardly ever get the chance of seeing face-to-face like this guy:

I’m looking forward to spending the day with a small, interesting group of people who are excited to learn about this world […]

I’m attending a Tips From The Top Floor photography workshop in Portland, Maine and learning a TON. The focus for this workshop is studio photography which is something I’ve never done before and I have to say that while I don’t see it becoming a focus of mine, I have a new found appreciation and […]

I blogged a bit ago about catching the set of The Black Fortys and how they won the college band competition at the New American Music Union in Pittsburgh.
In addition to all the great video performances on the American Eagle (client) site you can now find the college band performances on most major video sharing […]

I’m back in Boston after a weekend of rocking tunes and good times in Pittsburgh at the New American Music Union summer music festival.
Day 2 started with getting an early start to catch some of the college bands that were playing non stop during the day in a free area of the festival. They were […]

Carbondale, Illinois based The Black Fortys were announced the college band winner at yesterday’s New American Music Union.

They were one of the first bands to play the college stage so not many people will have seen their set. I though made a point to get down and see those early acts because I wanted to […]

SUCH a rush! Being in the press pit for a concert for the first time sure does get the blood flowing. Of course it also means that I took a ton of pictures. Plenty of throw away shots, but I’m psyched that I got some that I really dig. I’ve put them all up on […]

Just finished up the first media briefing here at NAMU.

It was so cool to see that Anthony Kiedis was laid back, funny and just all around a cool guy. I think my favorite line was when someone asked why he was chosen to curate the festival and his instant reaction with a smile was, “I […]

First little sneak peek behind the scenes of the New American Music Union as the main stage comes together.

This is exciting to see and we are looking forward to all the video, photos and other goodies coming out of this festival. Early next week there will be official videos of tons of the artists on […]

I’ve been in Pittsburgh for a couple of days now and it was fun to walk around the Southside Works yesterday and see these signs for the New American Music Union on every light pole in the area.

Seeing the stage being set up, the t-shirts, the water bottles and everything else that is going into […]

Last night I headed into the city to watch my friend [munk] perform what he was calling his final concert. I had mixed feelings, but I knew we were in for one hell of a show.

As I walked to the venue, [munk] pulled up beside me and I jumped in his car to head over […]

A slide show I made from my photos taken at PodCamp Boston 3.
Soundtrack from my good friend and kick ass Boston musician [munk]. If you are in the area, he is doing his farewell show on Friday night at the Middle East. No way I’m missing that.
