  Das Keyboard is a division of Metadot Corporation and operates with one purpose in mind—to increase typing productivity. When you consider that many individuals spend eight or more hours a day in front of their computers working on a keyboard, it makes sense why they’d want to have a first-class, high-performance keyboard at their fingertips.
   
  Long revered as the Cadillac of keyboards, Das Keyboard’s Model S provides users with a unique, even euphoric, typing experience. The keyboard’s mechanical key switches produce a distinct “click” with each keystroke, providing typists with tactile and audible feedback that is both pleasing and addictive. The Model S is built for speed, precision and comfort, and comes in two versions: the Professional, which has labeled keys much like any standard keyboard, and the Ultimate, a completely blank keyboard for hardcore users looking for the ultimate typing thrill.
   
  Das Keyboard’s Model S sports best-in-class German-engineered gold-plated mechanical key switches—or, the best key switches money can buy. The Model S also features:  two USB connectors, a two-port USB 2.0 hub, an external PS/2 adapter, full n-key rollover functionality and KVM switch compatibility. Both Model S keyboards—the Professional and Ultimate—are also offered in a “silent” version which produces a softer clicking sound, albeit the same superior and joyful typing experience that Das Keyboard fans admire.

  Methane Studios  got its start in 1998 when Mark McDevitt and Robert Lee formed a partnership to produce silk screen posters for the East Atlanta club The Echo Lounge that featured some of the best independent bands in the late 1990's.
  The roots of this partnership started in the mid 1980s at  Columbus College of Art and Design located in Columbus, Ohio.  Robert and Mark,both from small Ohio towns, majored in Illustration and bonded over bad 80's haircuts, corndogs, good music and creating art to form a friendship that would transcend into creating award winning artwork recognized worldwide. Our status as well-known designers has led us to win awards in design competitions in How, Print magazine, and the Graphis poster annual.

  In college we learned in a more traditional way  which allowed us to explore techniques that we use today. We never let our posters \'look\' computerized. We use the computer like a pencil or paint brush. The computer has allowed us to speed things up and to explore more options for sure, but we still belly up to the drafting table often. We draw inspiration form many artists be it musical or visual and our work tends to have a vintage influence.

  Today we exist as a two man studio creating package designs, logos, and posters for clients such as Turner Broadcasting, Honda, Liberty mutual, Blue Q, Dave Matthews and many other of your favorite bands. Recently featured on CNN, you can also find our work in many books that feature designs relating to t-shirt, music packaging and of course posters. We dig David Stone Martin, Jasper Johns, Ralph Bakshi, Mort Drucker, Robert Rauschenberg, Warhol, Edward Ruscha,  Push Pin, Alex Steinweiss and countless others.   Our goal was always to tell a story, convey a message, and to make someone stop and think a little with our designs. We have a sense of humor as well and it's important to not take ourselves so seriously all the time.

Most importantly, working in this medium allows us to make art that is accessible on a street level. It helps us provide art that is affordable to people just beginning to collect…or to anyone who enjoys owning a limited edition piece they know was made with care and passion. 

  This isn't all we do, though...

  We also do a variety of freelance illustration and graphic design work; including but not limited to logo designs, t-shirt designs, invitations, announcements... you name it.

  Create
  Every day we work creatively and strive to help others create too. In the 13 years since founding, we’ve never taken the easy way out but remain faithful to our core business philosophy: Creating the Creative.

  Manga hero inspiration
  The culture of manga is deeply interwoven with every action Kayac employees take daily. We like manga (comic book) heroes: They fight hard. They have strong allies. Of course they have weaknesses, but they also have special talents. We want the Kayac team to be known as manga heroes.

  Non-mainstream
  Unlike the vast majority of young IT and web companies in Japan, Kayac always strives to be different. We have even chosen to be unique geographically too, with our headquarters in Kamakura City rather than central Tokyo. We also stringently handpick our team with unconventional, innovative and hardworking members.

  Entertaining apps
  We love creating fun, comical apps – but ones we can use as practical tools as well. These include the bizarre, the witty, and the cute. Always entertaining, original and memorable, our apps have generated plenty of headlines.

  Rane Corporation, founded in 1981 in Washington State, USA, is privately held by owners who previously worked together as middle management at a high-end consumer audio company. The company name is an anagram created from the common letters of the original founders’ first and last names. 

  The essential ingredients in Rane’s successful philosophy are knowledge, integrity, pride and common sense. Rane treats people the way they want to be treated and to design & build products the way they want theirs designed & built. It is an old fashioned way to run a business, based on mutual trust and respect.

  Rane established a new price-point for performance, quality and reliability, with products priced well below the top equipment, yet outperforming and outlasting them, but still priced above low-end products – creating a new middle ground.

  Rane Corporation today is an established innovator in problem-solving professional audio tools, affordably priced with unequalled reliability.

  What's Next Marketing is a new breed of company that specializes in helping organizations use social media tools to connect with customers and prospects. What brought us together was a fundamental belief that social media, while maturing nicely for individual use, is in its infancy for corporate use and brand building. Millions of dollars spent on marketing; just pennies spent on communicating.

  If you want to package the message up tightly, neatly, and with six coats of polish in the hope that your customers will continue to swallow it whole, then we're not the right folks for you. If, however, you're ready to talk, really talk with your customers, we'll help you find the right way to do it. Fun ways, strategic ways, operational ways... ways that improve the value of your brand, to empower brand evangelists, and help your company continue to grow. If that's the kind of thing you'd like to start, you've come to the right place.

  The game has changed, the tools have changed and the ways you can talk to your customers has changed. Are you ready? If so, talk to us. We work with brands that see the change we see and want help navigating it. We'll assemble a core team from our digital strategists, our content developers, our designers, and our technologists to create a plan customized to meet your organization's objectives.

  In the past, companies have tried to provide concert attendees with tangible mediums such as USB drives and compact discs of the live performance.  These attempts have been moderately successful due to the challenge of handling the demand or volume while sacrificing audio quality.

  Ovation’s revolutionary live recording and production process allows artists to record and distribute a live album at each participating venue every night.  The recordings are mixed and mastered in real-time and wirelessly delivered from back of house to the Ovation Towers located in the lobby or concourses within 3 minutes of the final note.

  Ovation is a kiosk-based product that leverages rising trends in electronic portable devices, the migration from physical to digital distribution, consumer interest in concert recordings, and advertiser interest in digital streaming video billboards.    The Ovation Towers are the first stationary live digital music distribution and advertising platform designed for major music venues.  Generating new revenue streams in HD digital advertising and on-site studio-quality live digital music downloads, Ovation heightens the concert experience for the fan while introducing the selling power of impulse, convenience and brand to a rapidly expanding digital consumer base.

  The Sony LCD Full HD digital screen is the main component in narrowcasting advertisements to fans at the venue.  A single Tower is capable of a 23” X 39” display.  With five towers aligned, the display becomes a 10-ft X 3-ft digital billboard, allowing advertisers to reach target demographics through display and video advertisements.

      Austin-based artist Billy Perkins was drawing superheroes at age 4, inspired by the work of Marvel Comics greats Kirby, Buscema, Colan & more. As a teenage rock music fan, he spent long hours studying album cover art and psychedelic rock posters.

      Penhead Design studio and its tagline \'Good Ideas thru Bad Living\' began in 1992, after Perkins served
  two years as Art Director for one of the largest screen print shops in Texas. Rock posters and CD packaging
  are the primary focus of daily business, but work also includes ad design, illustration, copywriting,
  sportswear design, logos and more. Perkins illustrated a children's book, \'Dragoo Goes POP!\' in 2000.

  Billy Perkins’ rock posters have appeared in several publications, including Art of Modern Rock, Swag 2,
  Classic Rock Magazine and Gig Posters:Rock Show Art of the 21st Century.

  Silver Circle is a feature-length political thriller-romance. Now in post-production, this new animated film and graphic novel is sure to stand out amongst this year's indie releases. Silver Circle already enjoys a strong base of fans in the political and comic worlds, and is well primed for distribution in Fall 2011.

  This dystopian story takes place in a future economically crumbling America. Jay Nelson, a Federal Reserve investigator, quickly finds that a routine arson case runs far deeper than anticipated. He discovers a world of corruption, underground rebel activity, and murder. With the help of a smart, sexy rebel named Zoe Taylor, Jay faces truths that will change his convictions forever. 
   
  Through social media efforts and a strong trade show presence, our film has rapidly grown in popularity. We are now publishing two graphic novel pages a week online, and will publish the book in print with the DVD release. Our core fans are loyal and diverse: animation and comic worlds, political youth, Federal Reserve followers, conspiracy enthusiasts, and even gold/silver “bugs”. Beyond these niches, Silver Circle stands well on its own as a great, fast-moving story for broad audiences, domestically and internationally.
   
  We hope to meet and earn more fans at SXSW this year, and to connect with possible distribution partners as we drive towards completion this year.

At the Library of Congress booth you’ll learn how to legally protect your work, become part of the national collection and explore ways to keep your digital music, film and emerging interactive technologies safe for the long-term.

  The Library of Congress holds one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of sound recordings and motion pictures in the world.  Our collections include over 3 million sound recordings in nearly every format, covering a wide range of subjects and genres in considerable depth and breadth.  Our film collection spans the entire history of the cinema and includes films made for television.  

  At the Library’s booth, find out about copyright protection and how you can register your copyright claim and submit your work to become part of the national collection. Items in our national collection are preserved, cataloged and become accessible while you still retain the rights. 

  America’s creativity and cultural heritage is increasingly being generated exclusively in digital form and the Library is exploring ways to preserve it for the long-term as digital materials are inherently \'fragile,\' due to their ease of alteration or susceptibility to loss once they are produced. Stop by and explore the ways the Library is working to keep your digital works safe and learn how to copyright your digital content.

  Magnificent Beard is a powerful, living, breathing duo that designs and keeps their things in Dallas, Texas. Together, Magnificent Beard weighs over 300 pounds and can touch the rim of a basketball goal. They’ll even teach you how to love a woman and scold a child.

  In other words, when they come together great things happen.

  That was an inadvertent double entendre.

  Last year PANDA ARTIST MANAGEMENT made its motto – Miles and Miles of Music – truer than ever before. The Barcelona-based artist management and booking agency, which since 2004 has managed intercontinental tours for rock bands, has now itself become an international enterprise, with its first overseas office now located in the Macau Special Administrative Region of China. The European and Asian offices of Panda Artist Management work together to stimulate and facilitate musical and cultural interchange between Asia and the West.

  Panda Artist Management has a diverse catalogue including such high-profile Spanish artists as Soziedad Alcoholika, Berri Txarrak, The Kluba and The Eyes, as well as the 2010 and 2011 SXSW Showcase Artists Go Chic, from Taiwan.

  The Taiwanese electro-dance-pop-punk group Go Chic, the first Asian act in the agency's catalogue, is currently touring Europe on a Panda-organised World Tour that includes further dates in the US (New York City, South by Southwest) and Asia (Vietnam, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Philippines). 

  Panda Artist Management works not only for its own bands, but also offers logistical support to bands and other cultural entities with their sights set on entering the Asian market.

  In a complementary initiative, Panda Artist Management is actively adding Asian bands to its catalogue and handling their booking in Europe and elsewhere around the world. Panda Artist Management offers logistical support to Asian bands who are ready to tour and break into new markets.

  Greencopper offers innovative event and cultural smartphone apps and is leading this field with the publication of apps for 30+ festivals in 2010, 45+ apps for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry).

  Greencopper is a product-company. To describe the innovative aspects of the company flagship product \'goevent\', let’s take the official application published in May 2010 for the Montreal International Jazz Festival (largest Jazz festival in the world). The iPhone application « Jazz Montréal » presented several hundreds of events, all packed into one great application. An Internet connection was not required to gain access to the entire line-up.  The key innovative functions for this application were:

  -	Sharing content of social network direct from the app: festival goers are able to share short links (based on Greencopper’s own URL shortener essaie.ca) over Twitter and Facebook (posts on Facebook Walls).

  -	Contribution of festival-goers : users are able to post contents into the app (photos and comments). Organizers are able to moderate submitted contents via gomanager (Greencopper’s online management tools). Selected photos were projects on large walls during concerts.

  -	Integration of a multimedia module for the concert of Beast (Canadian band).  People were able to contribute to the show by activating the Bzzzz sound (provided by Beast musicians) and showing the video animations live. Festival-goers could therefore participate and contribute with the app to the success of a unique event. 

  Greencopper’s product for events (music festivals, film festivals and tradeshows) has many innovative features. The unconventional commercial model of the product did permit to get excellent market traction in Canada and France with over 45 apps published for over 30 music festivals in 2010. Greencopper is evolving fast with the development of even more innovative features in the \'goevent\' product.

  Everyone knows about Louisiana’s native creative culture. But we’re also aggressively turning arts into economic growth. Tax incentives for film and television, sound recording, interactive, and live performance are helping drive this. Our film incentive already leads the nation, making us the third most popular location in the U.S. Louisiana Entertainment administers these incentives and other programs to cultivate and develop our entertainment economy. 

  Our Film program is the national model. Films produced in the state can spend 100% of their budgets with Louisiana-based companies, which qualifies them for tax credits. Louisiana's skilled crew base has grown over 400% since 2002, and infrastructure continues to develop to answer the demand from producers. It’s simply easy and affordable to produce here. 

  Our Sound Recording program was created with the industry in mind.  With our 25% rebate, music producers substantially reduce their bottom line and enjoy top quality musicians and studios in a great environment. Renewed interest in our music culture and an innovative program mean we’re the new frontier for music entrepreneurs. 

  Louisiana’s Digital Interactive program was recently expanded beyond the video game sphere. The shift to the cloud, the insatiable consumer demand for content and applications, and our aggressive incentive are making Louisiana the next great hub for interactive content development. 

  The first of its kind, our Live Performance incentive is designed to fuel long-term investment within the concert and theatrical world. Starting a worldwide concert or Broadway tour here, or, prepping a show for Broadway in Louisiana could make you eligible for tax credits.

  Z. Bruce Gray is the creator behind ZBG Percussion Instruments.  He makes hand-crafted, one-or-a-kind instruments for the professional musician. Bruce was classically trained in European furniture restoration and pre-petrochemical finishing techniques.  These traditional techniques are used in the creation of his drums and rattles.  Because of the way they sound and feel, the way they are crafted, the way they look sitting in a room or on stage, they are different than any other percussion instruments that you will find on the market.  With the use of shellacs and waxes on turned wood and beautiful organic gourds, and with their own unique tonal qualities, these instruments are exquisite additions to the collections of discerning musicians worldwide.

  Vablet provides a self-contained, functionality environment for content distributed to iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows mobile devices that ensures it is presented and utilized with all the power and impact intended.

  Presentations happen.  Interactivity ensues.  Data is captured.  Reports compiled.  Whenever.  Wherever.  No hic-cups.  No delays.  No freezes.

  Changes, revisions, additions are instantly deployed.  Obsolete or expired content is revoked.  No more confusion over which version is current.  

  Follow what is being done with the content – emailed or printed.  Identify which pieces are being accessed, when, for how long, by whom -- down to the individual device.

  And since all this capability happens within the Vablet environment, it functions seamlessly online and offline.  You’re always in the know about content utilization.

  The management of mobile content has never been so robust, powerful…and easy.

  Documents, HD video, PowerPoint, JPEGs – whatever your message demands, Vablet handles it.

  Need interactivity?  Each piece of content can be set to allow for social media.  Even video.  Press the icon.  Playback is paused.  A box opens.  The keyboard appears.  Take notes, tweet, facebook…whatever.  Resume watching. 

  The viewer is engaged.  The viewer interacts.  The viewer re-engages.

  Need security?  Content can be assigned “born on” and “expiration” dates.  The number of viewings can be limited.  Here today, gone tomorrow.

  The need for printing and distributing files is greatly reduced.  As are shipping costs.  And forget about having to collect unusable/outdated materials and securing them.  That’s a thing of the past, making Vablet as green as it is smart.

  Veritas is an Art Fashion Brand, creating its own niche in the fashion market, a brand with its core revolving around the Fine Arts community. This community encompasses all genres of the arts similar to the late 1960’s New York art scene that revolved around the Factory owned by Andy Warhol. Groups of creative individuals who networked and created together, shared their works, critiqued each other and most of all impacted the art community worldwide. The artistic talent that was born out of this collective included artists, poets, photographers, actors and actresses, fashion designers, musicians, and filmmakers. The idea behind Veritas is to become “The Factory” as a brand, with a greater purpose than just influencing artistic creation, a purpose of becoming involved in humanitarian projects worldwide through this collection of creative individuals. This is the design behind “The Veritas Artist Collective”, a collection of artists, photographers, sculptors, musicians, actors/actresses, filmmakers, producers, writers and athletes enabling Veritas to connect internationally in all creative circles. 

  Veritas creates and nourishes the kind of relationship and diversity of human contact that builds into the essence of the city.  Veritas is designed and created to bring community together through a combination of the Arts; one shirt, one painting, one sound, one film, and one word at a time.

  Starting March 2011 Veritas is touring 50+ Cities for 8 months across the US bringing art, fashion and music into living rooms/backyards to support and raise awareness for one Community in Kenya.

  KLI Corp is a one-product company incorporated in Indiana in 1978.  Entertainer's Secret, originally called Moi-Stir 10, was first marketed in 1984.  Developed in collaboration with an otolaryngologist (ENT physician specialist), It was formulated to resemble the natural mucosal material that lines the passageways in the throat and vocal apparatus.  Mainly utilizing word of mouth advertising, and aided by the internet, this unique spray has benefitted thousands of people who rely on quality vocal performance to do their jobs - from Broadway and opera stars to teachers, pastors, businessmen / women and many others all over the world.  When sprayed into the throat via the mouth or nose, it delivers moisture directly to the dry spots and also dilutes or thins out the thick mucosal mass so it can flow the way it should to keep the underlying sensitive tissues moist and healthy.
   
  Most distribution in the United States is through conventional channels, pharmaceutical wholesaler to drug stores and through music industry distributors to retail music stores.  We take pride in rapid response to inquiries and order fulfillment – no later than the next business day.

The Mississippi Blues Trail is composed of over 120 historical markers and interpretive sites located throughout the state that tell the stories of bluesmen and women, their times and their music, and how the places where they lived and the times in which they exhisted — and continue to exist — influenced their music.  

  The sites run the gamut from city streets to cotton fields, train depots to cemeteries, and clubs to churches.  Tourism professionals from the hospitality state will be present with information about the trail and other related materials for attendees.  The Mississippi Blues Trail Exhibit will be filled with music, giveaways and great information to lure you on an unforgettable journey to \'walk where they walked, dance where they danced, and experience the blues where it was born.\'

  Powerhouse Factories is a group of designers, printmakers, and multi-discipline artists whose goal is to bring art to the masses. Functioning as a design firm and print shop, Powerhouse began in 2004, in a restored 19th Century building in Covington, Kentucky where we worked, lived, and played. The screen-printed propaganda art we experimented with in college became the basis for our work at Powerhouse.

  Seven years later, we reside in an even slicker space in Newport, Kentucky and have developed a more professional direction with our work. Our current focus is on dynamic design projects for global companies, which is driven by the success of our rock posters. Building on that success we will continue to create new posters for venues and musical artists around the country.

  The gig poster scene has been inspirational and supportive for us—both as businesspersons and artists. We use it as a creative outlet—it keeps our ideas fresh and provides a contrast from our daily corporate design work. Having our finger on the pulse of creativity in the music scene also helps distinguish our work from other design firms.

  Powerhouse eagerly attacks all projects and contracts, including package design, brand identity, retail / environmental design, and screen-printed posters.

  Energy consumption and prices are at an all time high.  By now, you’re probably looking for ways to reduce energy intake and find ways to live more responsibly. Research shows that real time feedback about energy use can lead to savings of 15% or more - equating to hundreds of dollars annually for the average U.S. household.

  SXSW is no better a venue to meet the people at EnergyHub, a startup out of Brooklyn, NY that’s striving to help you become a more efficient energy consumer.  At SXSW, you’ll be among the first people to check out the EnergyHub system and chat with its designers.  You’ll see how you can monitor energy use inside your home and take actionable steps to reduce it.

  The EnergyHub system is made up of wireless devices such as Sockets and Strips, a Thermostat and a Heavy Duty Controller (for those big energy consumers like pool pumps) that can be configured in the home – or your studio – to measure the electricity you’re using. EnergyHub’s Home Base connects those devices to the Web enabling you to remotely control how and when appliances use all that energy. Add a smart utility meter to the mix and you’re able to see all your home’s energy use in real time. Even turn appliances on or off via mobile devices.

  EnergyHub will be exhibiting at the trade show and hosting an official party at Paradise Café (upstairs). To learn more, visit http://energyhub.eventbrite.com or connect with us on Twitter @EnergyHub.

  Klipsch, one of the first U.S. loudspeaker companies, has been building premium speakers since 1946. When Paul W. Klipsch—one of America’s most celebrated audio pioneers and Engineering and Science Hall of Fame inductee—founded Klipsch & Associates, he was hand-building every speaker inside a tin shed in Hope, Arkansas.

  Paul Klipsch was a relentless perfectionist who spearheaded the Hi-Fi movement with the company’s foundation product: the Klipschorn® (still manufactured today). A true music lover, Paul’s ultimate goal was to reproduce the excitement of a live orchestra performance in his living room.

  He achieved his objective by making the Klipschorn a fully horn-loaded design—technology that established industry standards for high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low distortion, smooth frequency response and powerful bass. As a result, horn loading has—and always will be—the driving force behind the Klipsch brand’s highly efficient, stunningly precise sound.

  Today, Klipsch sells hundreds of premium speakers for every lifestyle, application and budget. The brand’s diverse product portfolio encompasses home theater, professional cinema, installed whole-house contracting, commercial, computer speakers, iPod docks and headphones. 

  As the audio world continues to evolve to meet the listening preferences of consumers, Klipsch will look to the future with an eye for the past. Everything Klipsch does today and 100 years from now will reflect Paul’s no-compromise spirit and the brand’s commitment to delivering the world’s most powerful, detailed and emotional sound reproduction.

  Indigo is an in-venue interactive social music platform that connects bands with their fans at live music venues, bars and anywhere people gather to listen to music. The Indigo system gives music fans the pleasure of influencing the atmosphere in almost any venue where music plays a role.  Patrons approach one of the linked touchscreen tablets, which can be mounted on walls, floors, counters, and tables, or use our forthcoming smartphone app, to browse a catalog of free music from locally relevant independent artists. Patrons can view the current playlist, add their favorites, vote on others’ selections, and even connect to the band’s social media streams on Facebook and Twitter. 

  Indigo connects fans to their social networks.  Music they select and the venue they are patronizing are promoted to their social networking streams, promoting the bands and the venue to their friends.  

  Indigo fosters promotion of live events by targeting ads for upcoming shows to patrons based upon their musical tastes.  Music fans will be shown details of upcoming local shows featuring the artists they are browsing, further connecting bands with legions of new fans, and driving attendance to local concerts.

  Indigo utilizes the latest technology in tablet computing, social media, geo-targeted ad serving and cloud-based storage to offer the most compelling venue-based music system to date. Content is stored on a local server in the venue, with tablets connected wirelessly.  Artists and labels upload their content through a secure extranet and content updates are delivered regularly via the web.

  StreamJam is a free tool for putting on virtual concerts and music events and for generating revenue therefrom.  Artists and event holders embed live (real-time) video streams within StreamJam’s virtual environment.  Fans enter that virtual venue with only a couple clicks – no downloads, no new registration – to attend the event via 3D avatars.  The full version of StreamJam will be a perpetual online music festival where fans can travel between many live events, hang out with friends, play games, dance, compete to become an artist’s biggest fan, collect virtual memorabilia, and interact with their favorite musicians.  We believe that StreamJam will be the first very effective way to bring a form of the live music experience and industry to a world-wide online audience that of course cannot usually be on-location for their favorite bands’ performances and interviews.
   
  Most importantly, StreamJam is the easiest way to effectively generate revenue online from an artist’s live events and interactive sessions.  StreamJam aims to bring a significant portion of the over $1B US market for virtual goods to the music industry.  Bands can embed the app directly into their Web site, customize the environment and virtual goods for their brand or sponsors, and generate revenue via tickets, tips, and virtual goods. ESC is applying its considerable experience with game mechanics, live virtual events, and ease-of-use in social games to motivate truly mass-market participation.
   
  StreamJam is a Facebook app, web app, and soon a Samsung TV app.

  Etymotic Research, inventor of Musicians Earplugs® and the highest fidelity non-custom earplugs, designs products to measure, improve and protect hearing. Etymotic is committed to enhancing and preserving the hearing of musicians and music lovers everywhere.

  ETY•Plugs™ are the world’s highest fidelity non-custom earplugs. They reduce most noise to safe levels while preserving the clarity of speech and the richness of music. ETY•Plugs are configured to replicate the natural response of the ear canal so that when sound enters the earplug, it is reproduced unchanged, exactly the same as the ear would hear it, only quieter. 

  Benefits 
  - Reduces sound levels evenly so that music and speech are clear and natural, not muffled as with other earplugs. 
  - Reduces risk of hearing damage for many noisy occupations as well as noisy venues, such as airshows, parades, athletic events and motor sports. 
  - Enhances the music experience for audiences while protecting hearing. 
  - Lets musicians hear their own instrument and their blend with others. 
  Features: 
   -Low cost 
  - Ready-fit 
  - Available in 2 sizes (same sound reduction) - standard and large* 
  - Reduces sound approximately 20 dB at all frequencies 

  Regular use of these high-fidelity earplugs while practicing, performing and listening to music will protect hearing from the cumulative effects of overexposure to loud sound throughout life. 

  A little time may be required to acclimate to these earplugs. Many musicians report that they hear their own instruments better, as well as the balance with those around them. 

  Musicians Earplugs are a custom product, made individually for each user. They can be purchased only from licensed hearing professionals (audiologists and hearing instrument specialists).

  We are an organization with a passion for art's power to express the core elements of the human condition - the ability of artists to encapsulate LOVE, PAIN, STRIVING, COMPASSION, YEARNING, JOY, SADNESS, MADNESS, and PEACE. We seek to create significance in our own lives, and believe that art as a whole offers an unparalleled avenue towards the discovery of meaning and passion. We are writers, visual artists, musicians, and some of us are all three. We became artists because we are compelled by an internal force, an engine that drives us to write, paint, and sing. We formed the 555 Collective because our passion to create extends into an overall love for life, and a deep compassion for the suffering of humanity. 

  ART, LOVE, and HOPE. This is what we offer the world. Our mission is to lead significant lives by using the arts to promote a more compassionate and progressive society. We apply our creative talents to the purpose of restoring meaning to the lives of survivors of violent crime. We publish and award aspiring and established artists by means of our literary magazine, our nationally rotating art shows, and benefit concerts. Proceeds support education, therapy, and basic needs of survivors. Please join by creating or donating.

  When music is your business and not just a hobby…………………

  One of the most important decisions a Recording Artist or singer will make that will follow them through their recording career and beyond is to join AFTRA. AFTRA is the Union of professional Royalty Artists and singers across the United States, over 80,000 strong, and your membership and participation in AFTRA will insure that Artist’s rights will continue to be heard. AFTRA is the only Union or organization authorized by the labels to speak on behalf of performers on sound recordings. 

  The AFTRA contract guarantees health insurance benefits for all label roster Artists. Record Companies make payments to each Artist’s individual AFTRA Health and Retirement Fund account, which provides benefits such as major medical and hospitalization, a prescription drug plan, pension and life insurance. The health insurance benefit under AFTRA has no exclusions for pre-existing conditions.

  AFTRA is the performer’s voice in local, national and international legislative affairs. AFTRA has been an influential voice for legislative issues such as payola, work-for-hire, digital downloads, recording contract term limitations and Artist auditing rights. 

  AFTRA collects additional payments when your recordings are used in movies, television and radio programs and/or commercials. Work performed under an AFTRA contract insures that you will be paid if your performance is used in another medium and will protect your work in perpetuity.

  For more information on how AFTRA can benefit your professional recording career, go to www.aftra.org.  Keep on singing, we’ve got you covered!

After graduation, she moved to Fabulous Las Vegas to teach fine art and graphic design for 4 years, went back to NY, finished her M.Ed. and became certified as a Superintendent of Schools. After one more Buffalo winter confirming her distaste for cold weather, Wheat moved to Charleston, SC in 2003.

  The name Bandromeda is an analogy to the Galaxy, Andromeda. While Andromeda is a cluster of heavenly stars, Bandromeda is a collection of worldly stars (musicians).

  Bandromeda is a social space for Bands and Fans. Bandromeda is very interactive and very dynamic. Bandromeda is different than other social platforms for bands and artists because creative license is given to these artists. We recognize that the ability for artists to express themselves from a visual perspective is equally as important as the ability for them to do so musically.

  One of the things that made MySpace such a success early on was that they gave members the ability to customize their pages using Cascading Style Sheets. But at the end of the day their pages were still MySpace pages. They had the MySpace logo at the top, and the overall look and feel was still very much MySpace. Bandromeda allows artists to create their own designs, their own page layouts, their own content, their own ANYTHING. And they can even point their own domain to their custom site. This is important because it gives them the ability to enjoy an independent marketing presence while leveraging the power of belonging to a growing social community.

  And the really cool thing is that all of the content created on your Bandromeda pages is automatically shared with your custom site, so you have a single point of contact for management.

  Futurity (www.futurity.org) aggregates the coolest research news from top universities in the US and UK. It's way more than just dinosaurs and black holes. Futurity covers it all—from nanotech to Neanderthals, from graphene to greenhouse gas—without the hype. 

  The site launched in 2009 as a way to connect people to the range of discoveries happening in research today. It's hosted at the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY) with support from Stanford University, Duke University, the University of Leeds, and more than 50 other research universities.

  The downsizing of traditional news has pushed science off the page—and increasingly out of the public consciousness. Futurity covers stories often overlooked by mainstream news, and does it in a way that's accessible but not watered down. 

  What you'll find on Futurity is distilled goodness. The site hosts only the most compelling, most thought-provoking findings. 

  What you'll also find is a conversation that often includes the researchers themselves. Pose a question, challenge results, engage in the discussion. That's what it's all about.

  With the advent of Cloud Computing, we saw the need to automate the creation of these secure IT systems using cloud technologies.  Furthermore, the combined effect of automated cloud infrastructure with a secure provisioning system would create opportunities to automate application setup and deployment for business users. IT departments could configure what apps are available, and business users could simply select the apps and they would be automatically setup and configured with secure access controls in place.

  With this vision, Cloudmasons was founded to provide companies with the necessary cornerstone and foundation for their next generation IT networks leveraging private and public clouds.

  At SXSW 2011, Planet Québec will rock to the beat of The Dears, Radio Radio, Suuns, The Luyas, Karkwa, Random Recipe, Snailhouse and many more!  From March 16 thru 19, 216 East 6th Street.  Full schedule at Planet Québec booth #221 at the Trade Show.

  had already been published for years. As the print shop had a small but nice club, the AZ Conni, in its direct neighborhood, they were regularly asking for cheap gig posters as ads for the club. Over the
  years, the calendar disappeared, the posters were printed for clubs in the whole town and the first people started to collect the posters, when suddenly more known bands and the music industry started to knock on the doors of the small print shop. The rooms were soon getting too small and by now, Krause had to move the print shop twice to meet all the standards of a modern screen print studio. This year, the Douze Studio from Dresden is taking part at the SXSW in Austin for the first time.

  		Krochet Kids international is a unique, socially conscience brand that is challenging the ways both humanitarian aid and business gets done.  Started by a group of crocheting college students in 2007, KKi believes actions rooted in love can create long lasting change.  As a nonprofit organization, KKi works in Uganda, Africa to provide jobs and education to a growing number of women and their families, empowering them out of poverty.  These women now have good-paying jobs crocheting fashionable products, and also take part in education programs through which they are planning for the future with their finances and dreams. 

  As a brand, KKi offers these hand crocheted products to consumers who want to invest in individuals.  Each product carries the name of the woman who crocheted it; on our website consumers are able to meet and thank that lady, and see her progress.  Our style is influenced by classic West Coast surf, skate, and snow culture and is designed with comfort, quality, and personality in mind.

  Welcome to a whole new way to support your favorite local businesses AND save money at the same time. It’s the Go Local Card. Every time you present your Go Local Card at a participating location, you will:

  •	Get sweet deals created just for Go Local cardholders
  •	Support your local economy
  •	Have an extra excuse to hit up your favorite store, restaurant, or hot spot
  •	Learn which businesses are local that you may not have been aware of
  •	Take a small step in helping the environment by replacing hundreds of paper coupons with one card

  Best of all, the Go Local card always offers you immediate gratification, and can be used as often as your heart desires for approximately 12 months from the moment of purchase. No need to accrue points. No one-time-only restrictions.  And even better, it’s only ten bucks.

  The benefits of shopping locally are irrefutable: it keeps our money in the local economy helping independent businesses compete against big national chains. It lessens our impact on the Earth’s environment, and it nurtures that curious and beautiful thing that makes our community so…OURS.

  These are the things we’re passionate about and they are what inspired the Go Local concept.

  Our mission is very simple: to simultaneously champion the businesses that make our community unique and reward the people that support them.

  Go Local. Good for your community. Good for you.

       ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF JIMI HENDRIX
           Concert, 1969 Raleigh, N.C. 
  Printed from Original Black & White Negatives
  Printed by Original Photographer, Robert Hewgley
  Printed to Fine Art Standards

  Available at www.photosofhendrix.com

  In April 1969, Robert (Bob) Hewgley attended a concert of the Jimi Hendrix Experience Band in Raleigh, North Carolina and shot some amazing, dramatic close up photos of Jimi Hendrix. 

  This concert was performed during the last American tour of the Experience Band. This three-person “power trio” included Jimi Hendrix at guitar, Noel Redding on bass guitar, and Mitch Mitchell on drums. The Experience Band recorded three albums; Are you experienced?, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric Ladyland. This concert happened only two months before the band broke up and four months before Hendrix’ performance at Woodstock in August, 1969.

  In 2006, Bob selected a small group of these black and white images, from the original negatives, to print for sale. He prints each photo individually in his traditional wetlab darkroom to fine art standards - on 100% cotton fiber, silver gelatin photographic paper. The prints are mounted on acid-free board and are available in three sizes.
