  • Movie optioned for "I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President."I'd much rather play it safe and just read the book than the more likely scenario of watching Warners take this concept and ruin it. Sadly, no book in print.

    ]]>     http://chrisbrummel.com/linkdump-for-march-26th/feed 0     Kids on the Street! http://chrisbrummel.com/kids-on-the-street http://chrisbrummel.com/kids-on-the-street#comments Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:46:12 +0000 Chris Brummel http://chrisbrummel.com/?p=36 I’ve been working on new features and design tweaks at CultureMob.com, but on the side, I’m getting ready to try out a test run on our CultureMob “Street Team” in Seattle. Pending how successful our test run is, what I want to do with it is open it up to CultureMob users to be able to go to shows, hand out flyers and talk us up, and we’ll subsidize a chunk of the ticket (No promises here, folks).

    So, our first trial event: Super Sonic Soul Pimps @ the Nectar Fri 3.28.08. This is the band that, back in ’95, lead me down the path that I’m at today. They are a high energy funk-rock band, which attracted the 16-year-old in me, who happened to be 16-years-old at the time. Ahh, nostalgia. The web was young and I jumped on to do a site for them, under the pseudonym of Captain Fantasy. Now it’s 35 years later and I’m still doing this web thing.

    And if you’re looking for a good event in Seattle, check out CultureMob.com. I’ve been messing with this project since it was just an idea 2 years ago. We’ve only been live for 3 months now and still are a little rough around the edges, so I’d LOVE to hear some feedback.

    So come on down to the Nectar this Friday and say hi. We’ll make sure to buy you a cranberry juice.

We’ve added the ability to save calendar feeds for your recommendations, saved events, custom searches, artists, and venues.

    I’ve set up my calendar to auto-update and show any event I save on CultureMob.com to give me a reminder on my computer and phone. I’ve got it in my calendar to tell me about any music that matches “Hip-Hop” AND “Funk”. You could set up a search that populates your calendar to tell you about any event that mentions “kinky fetish sex“. You could follow all the events at Neumo’s on your calendar. Follow your favorite band.
