won't you help to sing...

As you all know, i write for the MySpace/Facebook articles for my company.
I thought i'd share the most recent article i've written, devoted to Haiti.
 

"Won't you help to sing"

 

We understand that sometimes it’s appropriate to put down the toasting glass, and raise awareness, rather than be the life of the party.

While we continue to book events and hope that, worldwide, spirits are high, this week, we take a pause in the hype-up business and ask that everyone join us in bringing aid, and sending positive energy to those devastated by the disaster in Haiti.

GigMasters is donating to the cause, and hopes that performers will follow in our footsteps.

Music for Relief: is accepting donations to be split among the United Nations Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, and the Dave Matthew’s Band’s BAMA works Haitian relief program, as well as offering an unreleased music compilation for free download.

Yele Haiti: Musician, and Haitian native, Wyclef Jean, has provided the option for donations via text message (text YELE to 501501) in the amount of $5, through his foundation, to help his homeland. The rapper also held a tearful Press Conference on Monday, January 18th, 2010, explaining his love for the tragedy stricken country, and his devotion to the restructure and relief for the people of Haiti.

Hope for Haiti Now telethon: Rhianna stopped by the Oprah show Wednesday, January 20, 2010 to perform a cover of the Bob Marley classic, “Redemption Song” for Haiti. The cover is available on iTunes, and proceeds of the $1.29 track will go toward aid.

For those of you performing at events in the upcoming weeks, take a moment to bring the people of Haiti to your thoughts and the hearts of your clients. Offer a moment of silence to remember those lost, and consider donating some of your time to put together a benefit show. Remember, we are all so lucky to be doing what we are, and living where we do. It’s time for us to come together and help those who need us.

thank you for reading my more professional writing. sometimes it's a bit over bubbley, but this one really took some time to write from the heart.
i hope you all enjoyed it, & will take a moment to pledge some money to Haiti.

[the title of this article is "won't you help to sing", a line from Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" as referred to in the article. The cover by Rhianna is available for $1.29 on iTunes.]

*happy birthday to the king*

As you all know, I work at an online booking agent that hooks clients up with performers, from; string quartets, to pony rides, strippers to Elvis impersonators.
The "elvii" are, by far the biggest attraction

[people are weird].

but, since we def must attribute a lot of the money we make to Elvis' honour, & he really was *The King*, we've opted to celebrate (in our own way) today.
Some of you konw that i've been lucky enough to score a position [i don't think it's written in my offical job description] where i get to work on Social Media efforts. Up until 2010 [because i was honestly getting so tired of it] i was the companies Twitter Representative. I've moved on to Facebook and I still write one of the "articles" for our MySpace Page.
I really liked what i wrote this week for Elvis, so i've decided to post it here as well. Read it if you'd like.
If you can't get enough of Spanky, you can always visit the GigMasters Facebook Fan Page to get a taste of the "Professional Spanky" who calls herself "Sara".

So, withouth further adu (as the minutes tick away at the lunch time hour & i still would like to go smoke...)

What's New is New: Happy Birthday to The King

January 8th, 2010

To celebrate Elvis Presley’s 75th birthday this Friday, January 8th, 2010, Sony Music Entertainment has released a 25 track CD, “Elvis 75”. The CD is available on Amazon and iTunes, and features all the best hits, including; Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, I Can’t Help Falling in Love, All Shook Up, and Suspicious Minds (all GigMasters favorites). We plan to swivel our hips and curl our lips all day long to these classic songs!
We’re not the only ones that will be celebrating. All over the country parties and events have been planned for the King of Rock. Wife, Priscilla and daughter, Lisa Marie will attend a cake cutting ceremony in Graceland, while the lazier fans will snuggle up with a grilled peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich to watch TMC’s all day Elvis movie marathon.
What better way to immortalize the legend than being made into a Mattel Barbie figure? That’s right! The King of Rock was frozen in plastic in 2009 and sold to collectors and fanatics everywhere. The doll is available online, but we suggest buying two, one to keep and one to play with!
Planning to visit Sin City? Discounted ticket will be available for $75 on January 8th for the new show, Cirque du Soleil’s Viva ELVIS, at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas!
Performers: Even if you’re not an Elvis Impersonator, chances are you know the tunes and have some sweet moves. Break out an Elvis song or two at your events this year. Educate your clients that this year marks an important anniversary for all musicians. If you’re the farthest thing from the Kings Rock sound, mix it up with some awesome covers in different genres. You can ALWAYS send them to us! [buzz@gigmasters.com]
Clients: Any day is a better day with some seriously Rock’n sounds, and our Elvis Impersonators bring that thrill all year round. Hire an Elvis Impersonator for a birthday surprise for a friend, or better yet, a co-worker! Have an Elvis remembrance party where all your guests are greeted with a red silk scarf and the winner of your hip swivel contest gets a pair of killer gold aviators. Hire a caricaturist to draw everyone as Elvis or a Balloon Twister to make ready to rock balloon guitars. Have fun with it, the King of Rock doesn’t turn 75 every year!

i'll also add that this sexy little number USED to be a member of my site, but expired in September. I may have to make some calls & try to bring him back. His name is Victor Trevino Jr. & he's de-lish!

now that's what i call a hunka-hunka-burn'n luv!

Dark Side of the Moon

As i told you all last week, i've been writing the "What's New is New" article for my companies MySpace page.

I'm really enjoying getting a chance to write about current topics & get PAID for it!!!

Here's my post for this week:

Dark Side of the Moon

The month of October is almost and, in true fashion, a lot of strange things are happening in the world, leading up to, what seems to be, a pretty weird Halloween.

In the past week, we saw NASA “bombing” the moon, everyone’s favorite Werewolf, Taylor Lautner look amazing in the pages of GQ magazine, joy rides in silver mylar space ships, and the upcoming release of “This Is It”, the touching story of the last days of the ultimate “Thriller” to be in theatres October 28th.

Halloween is the perfect time to allow yourself to be scared and raise the paranoia of the Boogie Man, monsters under the bed, and things that “go bump in the night”. The movie Paranormal Activity asked fear fans to demand that their local theatre screen the film, and after 1 million demands, it was released nationwide.

Performers: Grab your fake blood, vampire teeth and shreds of the un-dead’s threads, and go wild this year! If you’ve booked a Halloween party, or even if you have an upcoming public event, show your freaky side and make the audience scream! Remember, it’s always fun to get spooked, and being a clients “treat” this Halloween is sure to make them remember you for next year!


What do you think? Should i think about becoming a reporter? JenBunny thinks she can see me as one... i played one in a play in 8th grade... that was fun...

Have fun counting down the days to h.ween 2009!

My Wonderful Writing Skills...

I write a few sections of my companies MySpace page.

This week, I've been getting a lot of compliments on my "What's New" section, so I thought that I'd share it with all of you!

Rep your pink ribbon

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and 2009 marks the 25th year of awareness and efforts to find a cure. The impressive streak has been represented in a big way this year. The NFL represented the Cancer Awareness Association by having players in pink gloves, caps and pink ribbons. Revlon, Clinique, and Estèe Lauder are among some of the cosmetic and beauty product companies who have committed to donating a portion of their proceeds this month. Even President Barack Obama took a moment between accepting his impressive Nobel Peace Prize, protecting the country, and biding for the 2016 Chicago Olympics to speak about the cause. Performers, show your support by jamming out with a pink ribbon on. Make a donation to the cause, or even perform for a charity to raise both funding, and awareness. Learn more about how to participate in upcoming events at cancer.org.

We can ALWAYS use more friends (& just because I've rep'd my company this far, i might as well keep going... ) We also have a Twitter page (www.Twitter.com/GigMaster) which i am the representative for, & i'm currently working on our Facebook page!
