This is bk. I am from Baltimore. I live in New York City. I work in the music business. Richie Savage put together this fly custom Tumblr design.
…it’s back to tranquil domesticity here at the old clam shack. My roommates had never really heard of Tumblr and were a tad skeptical, “There’s gonna be a party for bloggers here Saturday?” I knew from the last Meetup at Fat Cat that it was going to be a fantastic crowd, some friends of ours and some fascinating new people. And what a smash! We all had a damned fine time.
5-course Dinners / 5-hour Parties are difficult to pull off; it could not have happened without the help of Nora, Eric, Kevin, Nick Gray, Lee, and everyone else who brought charm, wit, sophistication and revelry times triplicate to the W&L.
Bartender Nick made somewhere between 260-280 cocktails from 8pm to 3am. 22 bottles of wine (the dinner crowd had most of those), 16 liters of beer, and one bottle of Colombian firewater that showed up at 1am and damned-near obliterated me. But who’s counting, really?
Cheers to a great crowd and some brilliant new friends.
Does anyone else have a blackberry pearl? And is anyone else as obsessed with BrickBreaker as I am? Just curious.
ME: Don’t have a pearl, but I’m obsessed. My high score is 24,020. Your turn!
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals, too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time
ME: Leona’s second single in the UK…”Better in Time”

BK's Hit Predictor - Leona Lewis - Update
“Bleeding Love” is the #1 song in America.
You upload 12 songs creating a cold, heartless, binary, change-on-a-whim collection of mp3s intended for no one in particular except the entire world wide web, thus effectively leaving the concept of a meaningful, thoughtfully-created mixtape, privately given from one peson to the object of their affection, utterly devoid of all emotion and significance.

(Also, sources in the industry say it is illegal - time will tell.)
ME: Step 1: Find a way to monetize it. Step 2: Negotiate umbrella licensing deals with labels. Steph 3: Negotiate umbrella licensing deals with publishers. Time Limit: 2 months. Max.
Pretty neat idea, though.
