Mayer Hawthorne brings new music to music box

day one at swsx... interactive...not music!

went into swsx interactive to meet up with dr. ted eytan (twitter name is @tedeytan) from kaiser permanente who was on a panel about health and social media/interactive. was a very lively discussion for sure and i got to help kick it off with my audience participation role (was fun!).

then we were off to get my crew wristband for the week. crew is an honor to me. bummed to be missing warren from worldsound, but am psyched to see sofia talvik and anuhea jenkins work their magic here this week!

we met up with dear friend, tyronne shaeffer (twitter name is @totallyx2) who is a former facet creative designer) and we all headed over to the four seasons for quick bite. w

hich turned into a texting love fest bringing all sorts together for the night. Best was meeting up with my girl linds' friend just in from the uk, mark murdoch! fantastic blog (check it out at www.mahoganyblog.com-great stuff!)... and even nicer person considering his luggage loss on his flight cross the pond~)

rest of night was a blur of great thoughts about media that i hope will stick - including wimoreality.com. upscale design of the qr codes! and lots of talk about how to bring together communities! for better health for all... :) sorry that was me bringing work back in the mix.

am pumped to see what the week holds.

hugs from austin.

song obsession today:

timbland and drake "say something".

this beat is so beyond sexy

swsx! this week in austin, tx...

coming out of crazy shows at the mint in LA with sofia talvik and anuhea jenkins.

beyond fun shows.

both artists are really evolving into amazing singer songwriters...

now, heading to swsx this week. cannot wait to see what it all holds.

for sure a night at the H.O.P.E. charity benefit friday with the blues traveler peeps.

and thinking of hitting mayer hawthorne set (stone's throw records), as well as raphael saadiq!

heard rumours about erykah badass badu playing.

fingers crossed.

more to come.

peace.

(my current addiction is mayer hawthorne's album 'a strange arrangement'. dope on a rope. check it for real. and it will make you dig out the crates for motown sounds... like lucy pearl, leading to smokey robinson and the miracles. i'm just sayin...)

you're welcome.

OMG finally able to post again

Not sure what happened, but have had NO luck posting since August to this blog. Finally was able to troubleshoot this morning... maybe it's the clear head now that 2009 is behind me. or maybe it's just the stars aligning so you all can have a retrospective of the last half of the year...

full of highs and lows. but all good.
