Welcome to the life and times of Sooz where I've been documenting my work and life adventures since 2002. Work = Sooz Media, my consulting business for web marketing, website project management, event planning and event photography. Life = shooting concert videos + photography, cooking for friends at The Granitorium, and scheming with my favorite Boston bands.

Live 8 The Long Walk to Justice

I remember watching Live Aid with my mom and sisters on our farm outside of Scribner, Nebraska in 1985. Seems crazy that it was twenty years ago! Fast forward to today and they've got Live 8 in the works. Technorati is tracking blogging about Live 8 and they're doing a "blog for tickets" ...

Boston Globe Article Corrections

Update June 27, 2005: Pete Caputa wrote a related blog entry titled "Bloggers vs Journalists: Agendas." A couple weeks ago Pete Caputa introduced me to a reporter who was working on a "getting paid to blog" story for the Boston Globe. Thanks, Pete! (That's sincere despite my rant throughout the rest of this entry.) Unfortunately...

Missing Royaltors

While looking for some information on the Capitol Records website I found a link to this page about missing royaltors. Kind of funny. I don't recognize any of the artists on their MIA list. I'm assuming POWER STATION is not the same Power Station that Robert Palmer was in. I'm particularly ...

MIT Weblog Survey

Cameron Marlow is conducting a weblog author survey in conjunction with his Ph.D. studies at MIT. The study runs through Monday, June 27, 2005.

Art and Theater Events in Boston

Exploit Boston has always been a little heavy on music related events because that's the sorts of events I'm personally most interested in. Michael has stepped up as book/literary editor so the site is going to see a lot more in that area. I'd like to conspire with another human who would like ...

BunkoSquad Rocks and boston.com Agrees

I am happy to offer a smooch or twelve to whomever decided to include Michael's BunkoSquad.com on boston.com's new "Greater Boston Blogs and Podcasts" page. We've been talking about having a party in August or September for his website's seventh anniversary. Maybe we can combine a long - overdue - but - hey ...

Tom Petty Rocks

Michael and I had a blast at last night's Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' concert at The Tweeter Center. The Black Crowes put on a great show as the opener, too. I was up front with five other photographers during the first five songs of Tom Petty's show. Words and photos are over ...

Clearly I am still an amateur tinkerer when it comes to CSS

I've got a long entry in the works regarding "WordPress vs Movable Type" and why I decided to keep Exploit Boston on Movable Type. But I'm running late to get some errands done before the Tom Petty concert tonight so I thought I'd try to appease the CSS gods out there in the ...

Jack Saturn and The Culottes

Last night I finally met Jack Saturn in person. We've known each other online since 1998. One of his bands from Portland Oregon, The Culottes, played a show at ZuZu in Central Square. They've got free MP3s and an EP for sale on their website. Good stuff! The Culottes play simple short ...

Blog for Tickets: Rock and Awe Music and Fireworks Festival in Sutton

Personally I can't stand Pink Floyd (or anyone who wants to sound like them); but this is probably of interest to other bloggers. Blog for Tickets is looking for bloggers who want to write a blog entry on their own website about the "Rock and Awe Music and Fireworks Festival" at King Fairgrounds in Sutton,...

Concert Blogging Tom Petty and The Black Crowes on Saturday

Michael and I received confirmation today that we have press passes and a photo pass for Saturday night's Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' concert at Great Woods (err "The Tweeter Center") Saturday night. It should be a fun show. The Black Crowes are opening for them. Last time I checked on ...
