The Operations of a Music Festival
Dr. Helene Caudill, my operations management professor at St. Edward’s University put her students on a mission to analyze the operations of a business. I decided to tap into my film making skills an put together a short video about the operations of a music festival. The festival that I analyzed is Fun Fun Fun Festival and I interviewed Kristina Vallejo, a professional event coordinator.
Music by DrumJam and Jungleset!
Miranda Art Gallery
I was invited to the Miranda Art Gallery last night by my aunt Jo Hyman. She had a couple pieces of art for sale at this event where over hundreds of pieces each sold for $100.00.
The gallery was packed when I arrived with a DJ in tact and free wine at the entrance. The event was brilliant and I could tell it was very successful as red sticker dots were posted on the paintings when they sold (and there were ALOT of red stickers). Jo wouldn’t tell me what art she created so I was forced to hunt down what I think she had created. I found three out of the four pieces she made and predicted that they would sell within the next hour.
Miranda would give $50 to the artists, $40 for herself and $10 donated to charity. There will be a huge Christmas event at the Gallery on December 16th, 17th and 18th. The gallery is located on East Sixth st. (2 miles east of I-35) right next to the Livestrong building.

It’s Free, no advertisements and the quality is fairly decent.
Superbowl Entertainment + More??
A couple weeks ago the Who was confirmed to perform at the Superbowl Halftime show this spring. This is not recent news but at least they are having an iconic 70’s rock band rather than Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers or Kanye West performing.
Will the Who be the 70’s rocker band to headline the circuit of festivals in 2010? I predict that the band will fully take advantage of there massive TV appearance and either tour the heck out of the U.S. or hit up every music festival with 50,000+ attendees.
A.C.L. Headliner? I think so.
D.A.B. confirms that Kanye West DID NOT purchase Austonian Loft
“New crib-LOFT IN- where its at-AUSTIN-where is that-Texas!” It has been confirmed by Jude Galligan of the Downtown Austin Blog that Kayne DID NOT purchase a condo suite at the Austonian. It seemed that just weeks ago, everyone in Austin was talking about Kanye West’s big purchase, however, this was just a strategic guerrilla marketing plan/false rumor going around town. Kanye did make a big impression during last years SXSW and it would seem that he would want to have the hottest crib in Austin that he could use for about 10 days out of the year. Maybe he is just waiting for Taylor Swift to purchase a unit first? Whatever the situation, the penthouse is listed between 4-6 million and there are only a handful of buyers in Austin who could really afford this penthouse unit. Here is a link to one of the penthouse suits listed at 4 million.
Rare to Host NYE party at Seaholm!
Rare has announced that they are selling $75.00 early bird tickets for the 2009-2010 New Years Ever Party at the Seaholm Power Plant. This will mark the first time that anyone will ever be partying at Seaholm on New Years Eve. The entertainment includes Flosstradamus and DJ Car Stereo. I have a good feeling that this party will be a hit! It starts at 9 pm and rolls on till 4 am. Too bad I will be head’n off to Guam for the New Years, otherwise I would be there in a heart beat.
Ghostland Observatory likes Meggan Carney, so should you!
Every Thursday in the month of December, Meggan Carney and the Flying Trapeze will be performing a midnight show at Momo’s to warm your hearts and satisfy your need for quality music. The cover will range from $5-8.00 but I promise it will be worth every penny! They will be featuring a trumpet player, clarinet and will possibly bring up a couple special guests. Do not miss Meggan Carney everything Thursday in December of 2009!

DrumJam to perform at the One World Theatre in 2010!
Thanks to Mr. Barnes for connecting DrumJam with the magnificent One World Theater. I had a great meeting with Nada, the executive director on Dec. 1st and it was well worth it! Nada has a very warm-heart, is extremely passionate and has great energy. I know Austin has a great mix of people but I truly wish there were more people in this city like her. DrumJam will be starting an anti-drug/pro-arts campaign in the high schools all over Texas (starting with Austin) called “Addicted to Drugs Drums”. We will put on our exciting, high-octane show for 45 minutes and then top it off with audience participation and an inspirational speaking series. One World will be acting as our umbrella though our Texas campaigns while we seek an arts grant from the City of Austin. We will then put on a couple back-to-back performances at the One World Theatre targeting the high school and middle school market. We are very much looking forward to it! I will keep you posted with our progress and dates.
