SUMMARY:Crescent City Crossroads: NOLA MusiCon After Hours (Night 2)
DESCRIPTION:We’re getting set to head down to New Orleans once again for this year’s NOLA MusiCon\, taking place in the heart of the Big Easy Oct. 28-30. \nWhat we’ve been dying to tell you is that there’s more to the story this year… \nSee\, we got together with our friends from the conference\, including partners Tunetrax and DAWn Audio\, to plan something special. Now\, we can officially announce that we’ve joined forces to create Crescent City Crossroads\, this year’s official NOLA MusiCon after hours showcases! \nWhat is Crescent City Crossroads? It’s two diverse nights of live music in New Orleans\, featuring artists from all over the U.S. (with a healthy dose of NOLA artists on the bill\, of course). We’ve spent the past couple of months working together to think of some of the most exciting artists we know\, and put them all into a musical gumbo pot as flavorful and exciting as Cajun cuisine. \nDates\, times\, and lineups are below. Each one has its own ticket link\, which you’ll see attached to the corresponding night. Advance tickets are $10\, increasing to $15 day of show. The price remains at $10 for those with a NOLA MusiCon badge or Halloween costume (because it is #SpookySZN\, after all). \nStill need that conference badge? Get it here for 25% off using the coupon code UMC25 at checkout! \nWednesday\, October 29 | 8 p.m.\nThe Rabbit Hole (1228 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard)\nRay$av & Mac Infinity | Ronday | Brother Dusty | Lapis | Da’ Healerz | PLUS!

SUMMARY:SXSW Book Signing: '60+ Lessons from the Creative Journey'
DESCRIPTION:I’ve learned countless lessons during my decade-plus creative journey. Some were common sense\, “live-and-learn” type experiences\, while others came as a direct result of thinking I had a good idea… and falling flat on my face. \nOne night\, I opened a blank document\, and I began to compile a list of the most important ones\, based on the experiences that forged me into a better creative professional. Before I knew it\, I had few dozen… and I added about a dozen more\, for good measure! \nThese 60+ Lessons from the Creative Journey come loaded with anecdotes — whether painful\, inspiring\, and/or hilarious — from 11+ years building a multimedia and educational platform for independent musicians. The lessons contained within are independent of industry; they apply to anybody with the courage to step out and “build the thing” — no matter what your “thing” is!
