August , 2008, San Francisco, CA: The first-ever Get Connected Summit (GCS) has been announced for October 2 – 3, 2008, at Pyramind Production and Training, 880 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA. The Get Connected Summit is an unprecedented industry development and networking event bringing together leaders and enthusiasts in the electronic music, media and technology industries to explore and showcase innovative talent, technology and social awareness across these increasingly converging sectors.
GCS takes place the same week as two other major music industry events; the San Francisco Lovefest and the Audio Engineering Society Expo.

Hooray For Glowsticks
When I was a little kid, glow sticks were one of the coolest things about going trick or treating on Halloween. They looked kind of mystical and exciting, and every single kid wanted one. It's surprising, then, to discover how much I still love these things. When going out for a night of dancing at a hot club or a rave, having glow sticks to mess around with can add a great deal of fun to the evening's festivities.
There is a stunning array of colors now available in glow sticks. When I was little, a neon green shade was about the only available option. Now, though, there are colors ranging from orange to red to blue to pink. Practically any color you can think of can be found in glow stick form. My personal favorite is purple, as it is a surprising thing to see in a dark nightclub; people definitely do a double take when I bring those things with me!
Another cool thing about glow sticks is how cheap they are. You can buy a dozen of them for very little money. This is a good idea if you just want to keep some handy in case you decide to head out on the town. Another fun thing is to get an assortment of glow sticks in many different colors and hold them in your hand. Wave them around for a stunning rainbow effect.
The way that you move glow sticks determines the types of shapes and patterns they create. I love experimenting with a couple of them, trying to come up with crazy new effects. When the music is pumping and the lights are flashing, a sweet glow sticks display is much appreciated by fellow club goers. You are bound to become the center of attention when you whip them out.
Review: Milk DVD
The Harvey Milk DVD is one of the best movies that I have seen recently. Sean Penn was nominated for a Best Actor award for his portrayal of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected into a prime position in politics. This Milk DVD tells about the last 8-years in Harvey Milk’s life before he was assassinated.
Harvey Milk was elected into office during 1977 in San Francisco. There was a lot of political unrest at this time between the traditional while majority and all minority groups. Milk took a nonviolent political stand that battled for the equal rights of all people everywhere and not just for the gay community that he belonged to.
The latter part of the DVD movie Milk is set into the times of disco music and dancing. While this is not the theme of the movie, the small glimpses into this culture is refreshing and educational, even to those of us who were there at the time. Harvey Milk is a politician that needs to be remembered today, he was ahead of his time.
Seven Pounds Dvd
Guilt plagues all of us. That time we stole a dollar from Mom's purse, the friend we blew off in middle school, or the stray cat we didn't take home because we were in a hurry -- but rarely do we act on this guilt, rarely do we pay retributions for the mistakes that plague us. Rather, we wait and let time do the healing.
However, some individuals discover outlets for not only relieving their guilt, but benefiting others in the process. Seven Pounds, this is a new movie with Will Smith, and is one such story. Seven Pounds is the tale of a man riddled by guilt, and determined to resolve it, at any cost.
The Seven Pounds DVD is one you will watch over and over again, and every time get something new out of the story. Will Smith's performance is dedicated and evocative, and despite the melancholy nature of the subject, one can't help but invest in the story and this man's plight.

Jazz recordings provide a snapshot of an incredible act of musical creation, but the greatest way to experience Jazz is in the live setting.
