New week. New Dreams

Been real busy this holiday season.  Apart from family visits most of my time has been consumed by work.

The daily Revolution Room, Rebar, Tuckers and Eclipse online posts are usually the first things I take care of when I begin my day.  It's my job to update the fans of these pages of daily drink and lunch specials, up & coming events and flyers.

Once a month I host an event called Official First Saturday at Rebar.  This February 5th will be the 3 year anniversary of this art & music event.  We have some great talent booked for this day.  Hope you can make it.

I did have some bad news to share.  I just started handling all the booking at a bar called Eclipse that was located just around the corner.  5 minutes from the crib, 2 minutes from the gig.  Well the truth is one of the owners partners was extremely unhappy over some business deal gone wrong so he felt it would be better to come in a 6am and completely tear up the joint.  From cutting the beer keg lines and destroying property, to stealing all the liquor and taking a lot of equipment that didn't belong to him.  I'm not certain of the exact details and it doesn't make a difference to me to know the truth anyway.  The point is the owner and GM informed me that we were just not going to be in business any more.  They asked if I wanted to come by and see all the damage that was made but I felt that was pointless.  After many triumphs and failures I've simply learned to get up, dust yourself off and move on to the next project.  P.S. This was going to be my first time booking the entire calender at a live music venue. Live and Learn. Goodbye Eclipse.  Ok What's next?

Its getting late and I better get started on my article on The Uptown Creepers.  I'm already past the due date, I think.....

Tomorrow - 8th Annual Amps & Easels Festival 2011.  Should I even bother?

Stay Up.

A long weekend.

2010 has come and gone so quickly.  It seems as we get older the days, weeks and months fly by so fast.

So for me 2010 was the busiest year for me so far and I expect business to double in 2011.

After finally leaving my run of the mill day job back in July, I have been working on many projects with Red Collar Media.  Working with this company has opened so many doors for me and my small business.  The Westside YMCA and ARTS San Antonio are a couple of the clients that we work for, helping spread the word about their unique events.  From street team promotions to online marketing projects, I rather enjoy finally being able to done what I love to do and get paid for it. 

Every since I was sixteen I have always enjoyed writing.  Sometimes short stories, sometimes poetry, other times just writing my thoughts on paper.  Now after about a year of writing for Backbeat Magazine, I am now starting to use all I have learned over the years and putting my journalism skills to use. 

We are going to be finishing up our business plan for Gallista Gallery and if things fall into place, I will be helping to manage this unique gem on the cities south side. 

Yes 2011 holds many positive things for my small humble company and I look forward to working on many, many more projects in the years to come.
