Got some of my gear up and working again. That's a bit of a weight off. Started taking notes for the next Live Beat today. Cruising upcoming entries on FB events. The site is saturated but I think I have an answer to that. It involves moving people away from event creation on that site as, yes, it can be effective, but there is very little creativity or artistic and marketing energy put into the very diluted sea of happenings. Eyeballs, eyeballs, eyeballs. That's what people want on their promo tools. That's what people want on their band, their product, their service, their charity, their news, and even their ice cream - well you get the idea. I messaged a programmer today recommended by my friend and part of The Great Idea graphic department in regards to moving people's eyeballs to this app-worthy idea. It is something that can not only help Salem artists, businesses, and other events programming, but can be adopted and made local to anyone. The idea has steps that need to be fleshed out still. I need a small team of people that know what they're doing where I don't, but that's one thing I know how to do- have an idea and then put diverse archetypes of folks in a room together for us to mull on and make it go. http://img.desmotivaciones.es/201103/motes2.jpg

Well entry number 2 here is already way later than i thought it'd be. Also my computer keyboard and subsequently satellite wireless keyboard have malfunctioned. To me it seems the odds are low on that problem. I'ce been a Samsung fan for years but this experience is proving otherwise. I'm typibg this with my Samsung phone which hasn't caved yet. However there's no cursor and the field size doesn't fit to screen so pardon any obvious mispellings or grammerical errors. My first Live beat article came out today in the Salem Weekly (http://www.willamettelive.com/category/musicnightlife/). Not bad for getting it in right under deadline while simultaneously constructing an entire sound scgeme for a musical 2days away. The Great Odea is also in 2 weeks and that ship is being let to sea as we speak. Control issues. I have some. You really can pre meditate only so much, pre produce only to a degree of foreseen protection and planning, but the shits going down. My problems are good problems to have- certainly noy mundane. Stay tuned.
