an old friend of mine passed away suddenly in his home tuesday night. he would have been 30 today. since this is an "entertainment" related blog, and most of you are probably familiar with the band, i thought i would post the official news release. please pray for his family and friends during this difficult time for them.
Official Press Release
September 26, 2007 — While en route to a show in Nebraska, Emerson Drive band members learned early this morning that their friend and former band member, Patrick Bourque, died suddenly last night at his home in Canada. His body is at a hospital at this time and no official details have been made available as to the circumstances surrounding his death. The brothers of Emerson Drive are shocked and grieving. Patrick was the band’s bass player until he resigned in August. He had been living and working in Canada since leaving Emerson Drive.

magazines for everyone from producers to waste management.
ya know, i went to write this post yesterday and got about halfway through and it closed. without saving. so i stomped around like a 3 year old for a while and then got over it. so i thought i'd come on here and try again today.
i love getting things for free - it might actually be becoming an obsession. i don't want to even admit the kinds of things i've gotten for free. its insane what companies are willing to give away for the slight chance that they'll get your business. i've gotten so many year subscriptions to magazines for free, i bet its saved me hundreds of dollars.
in one of my "must find free stuff" searches, i found a little website lately called Free Trade Magazine Source. thought i'd pass on a little wealth for you to get publications that relate to your business or trade. if you google something like "free trade magazines", you'll find other similar websites to hook you up.
and hey, even if you aren't interested in getting free magazines for your business, you have to at least marvel at the fact that there is a magazine called "Solid Waste Management". grab me a copy while you're at it.

bon voyage to me.
well folks - its time for my husband and i to take a little vacation to our nation's capitol. the idea is to get away from the business (HarshMedia) for a bit and relax. but you know we'll be taking our camera, so are we really getting away when part of our business is photography??
i know you are crushed that you won't get the normal friday blog with top jobs.....
so, since i care for you so deeply and long for you to read every word i type, i'm posting one early this week. it can't be called the BEST job, just a job. period. we'll call it:
"a job posted in the last 72 hours"
We need 10 Extras to be featured in a music video for Bo Bice on Wednesday, September 19th from 8:30am to 10:30am. Location: Printers Alley, Downtown Nashville We would prefer all our extras look business like, slacks, button up shirts, ties, dresses - daytime business attire for men and women. We are shooting a small scene and we just need pedestrians to be walking back and forth - to make the scene look like a typical morning in the city. Video will appear on TV. Please email us ASAP if you are interested. Thanks!job-423444863@craigslist.org
now that's out of the way, i recommend checking out the independent music world series if you are in nashville on thursday. its the southeast showcase and they've chosen 6 top bands to perform. there's a vip party beforehand for all the cool people, which is why i'm not going. nothing cool here. you can get more info and get on the guest list to get in FREE (gotta love that) by going to IMWS Guestlist.
so, that's it. i'm off to washington, dc!
oh, and tell bo bice i said hello.
