Denver Music Rocks!
My buddies Dan and Adam from
Morning After Records put on an amazing show last Friday. It was the CD release party for
Born in the Flood, guaranteed to be the next breakout band from Denver. The always rockin and on point
Photo Atlas put on a great show. The 14+ members of
Nathan and Stephen were awesome. I had never seen them before and they had a really fun performance.
Meese started off the evening. I'll write a full review when I get some more time.
Almost 900 people came to the show. Amazing.
Virgin Earth Challenge
Richard Branson and Al Gore just announced the "
Virgin Earth Challenge"
The Virgin Earth Challenge is a prize of $25m for whoever can demonstrate to the judges' satisfaction a commercially viable design which results in the removal of anthropogenic, atmospheric greenhouse gases so as to contribute materially to the stability of Earth’s climate.
This sort of contest has historically been successful, the
Ansari X Prize for the first non government spacecraft, the
Orteig Prize for the first transatlantic flight, and the
Board of Longitude was created to award a prize to the first solution to accurately determine longitude. (I just watched a great show about the Board of Longitude and the winner, John Harrison, last weekend of the Discovery Science channel...what timing!)
Late last year Branson also announced Virgin Fuels, a company focused on creating a non polluting jet fuel. Obviously Branson knows his companies and products have been responsible for creating this problem, but his dedication to stop and reverse the pollution is commendable.
Do you think this is the best way to solve the greenhouse gas problem?
SXSW party!
Well its that time of year again...when I can't think of anything but SXSW. Woo!

PocketFuzz are looking to throw a party during interactive. We would love to partner with some other rad companies for this shindig. We are tentatively (sp?) wanting to do a late party (10pm-close) on March 11th. Email me (dnewman [at] gmail.com) if you are interested/have any leads.
Thanks!
Danny
