From the Road

iFanz in Houston, TX to judge the music contestants of the Houston Freedom Fest, benefiting the Troops with Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorders. iFanz was also a proud prize sponsor for the music contest.

We were invited by Charles, Roy and the good folks at URLabel.net to travel to Houston to be a part of this amazing event in the downtown Grant Park complex. Thanks also to Barry Coffing and the crew at MusicSupervisor.com for the hook up.

It was a day of music, food, family fun and we must say, picture-perfect weather. The festival was broadcast live over the internet to tens of thousands, including the troops who are so bravely keeping our great Nation safe as we sleep, work and play.

Journey to the Nethercutt Museum

Well, I've lived in L.A. for over 16 years and always wanted to visit my famous namesake. To my surprise, Ruth had organized a private tour of the Nethercutt museum. What can I say? Hundreds of glamorous old cars, recorder pianos and musical curiosity machines archived and lovingly restored in a very impressive silo in Sylmar, CA, just 45 minutes north of LAX.

Ahhh, Summer is here at last!

Well not much more to do than to get out your bathing suit, light the barbie, invite some friends and relax. We had a great 4th of July, at Casa de Einhorn as you can tell from Ruth's pictures below. Thanks Richard, Kate and Bear!

But wait, aren't we forgetting something?

Okay, so last month we were all very secretive about projects we just couldn't talk about. This month we are lifting the curtains on some of those projects.

The first secret mission is completed.

Avnet and HP have launched "Nigel The Data Butler", featuring video performances by Alan Selka, real-life butler and accomplished actor. From the inception of the idea to create an off-brand e-marketing campaign for client Avnet (AVT), we knew that we had to raise the bar. So, how exactly do you re-brand data storage solutions to make it an interesting offering to the IT community? Read on dear reader, read on. And thanks to Ed Kamins, Pat Serie and Charlie Babb for your belief in this project!

This month is veiled in secrecy. As you know, we are always proud to announce any ongoings with the company and the net.work, but there are couple of projects that we just can't talk about until they are ready! Don't you just hate editorial deadlines.

So stay tuned for next month's edition, which will exceed all you expectations!

Christian took Angie's official portrait (photos coming soon after the have been suitably airbrushed). Okay, so with so much information and activity happening in April let's go into more detail...

NETLOOPZ
Created by McCartney.com Sound Design

What are Netloopz?

Netloopz are short music and sound effect beds that were created and designed specifically for content producers, music supervisors, filmmakers, and creative production houses. The idea behind Netloopz is to provide cost efficient musical alternatives to the traditional music libraries.

If you are a Music Supervisor, Game Designer or Presentation Smith, then you know how much traditional Custom Library Music can cost. Let's say you're a designer, you need to be spontaneous with your creative decisions and you don't want to have to run to your boss and ask for tons of money when you can get a cost efficient solution from Netloopz. These music pieces are ideally suited to provide background ambience for your website, rich media emails, Flash or PowerPoint Presentations. Spice it up with Netloopz. You may use the music for non-broadcast purposes without contacting us, but if you want to make Netloopz part of a commercial, film or TV broadcast, all we ask is that you report the title and its usage to BMI so our writers can collect their public royalties.
(Click the graphic above and launch the iTunes Music Store to sample the tracks.)

Well, after quite some time in town, February put us back on the road again. We had a wonderful time at the Phoenix Open (FBR) and the Superbowl! Thanks to Kerry and Cynthia Dunne (and R Entertainment), Vicky and Dale Jensen, we had a great time at the 944 Superbowl Village, saw most of the festivities and mingled with the stars! We watched Paris Hilton lose at Poker (for charity) and getting thrown of stage by 50Cent. Slash and Velvet Revolver played good ol' rock n' roll, we also met up backstage with our good friends REO Speedwagon who played the private VIP John Travolta party.

After the action-packed weekend we also stopped by to see Jim and Larry at Televerde to further integrate our digital and eCRM tools with their new online marketing department. A little bit of work, a little bit of play and a whole lotta football!
