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.

First day of NEMO concert photos … almost

Last night I went to five clubs around Boston and Cambridge to see and take photos of bands performing at NEMO Music Festival showcases. I saw Plumerai at the Paradise Lounge for a very early 6:30 show and then went to Cambridge to see bands in Central Square at the Middle East Upstairs, Middle East...

2006 NEMO Music Festival in Boston this week

I'll be running around town the next three nights taking photos (and maybe some podcasting tidbits) at a bunch of the NEMO Music Festival concert showcases. Keep an eye on Exploit Boston's website. If you'll be at NEMO taking photos, join us at the event photo group at Flickr. Bostonist will be writing reviews/words about...

Photos from the HeyLetsGo Party in Boston on Lansdowne Street

HeyLetsGo hosted a huge, free party last night at four connected clubs on Lansdowne Street. The party was originally supposed to happen at Fenway Park; but there were worries about rain so the shindig moved across the street. They kept the ballpark theme with a speed pitching contest, batting contest, popcorn, pretzels and hotdogs. Boston...

It’s Podcamp Weekend

Podcamp is in town this weekend at Bunker Hill Community College: Saturday and Sunday, September 9-10, 2006.

A new look for social event website HeyLetsGo

HeyLetsGo unveiled a new logo and website design today and it looks good. I created a new group at HLG called Boston Rocks for anyone curious to check out a concert once a week featuring a Boston band.

The Blizzard of 78

WFNX has been running a great Friday night music series at Bill's Bar on Lansdowne Street. It's hosted by Dave Duncan, DJ for WFNX's weekly New England Product show that features an hour of Boston bands. They note themselves as the place to hear Boston band's first. Of course, that isn't quite true anymore. ......

PodCamp Boston

I'm looking forward to PodCamp Boston that is coming up on September 9-10, 2006. Chris Brogan and cohorts have put together what looks to be an excellent event at Bunker Hill Community College in Charlestown. I really haven't done much podcasting yet and I'd especially like to learn more about video blogging. There's already a...

Boston Bands at Tourfilter

Jon at Bostonist clued me into Tourfilter recently. It's a website to keep tabs on where and when your favorite bands are playing. You can also subscribe to other people's alerts. I set up my Tourfilter list based on who I play on Exploit Boston Radio. It's handy!

A new life for BostonBlogs.com

I bought the domain for BostonBlogs.com back in 2002 2001 after being inspired by pals who started up the Dallas Fort Worth blogger website at DFWBlogs.com. Seemed like we could do something like that in Boston: connect to each other's websites, get together for a social outing now and again, etc. Fast forward to 2006...

Exploit Boston Event Photo Meetup on Monday at Boston Marathon

I'm trying out an experiment to see if some of the 62 people who are part of Exploit Boston's event photo group at Flickr will be able to meet up on Monday, April 17th for a photo walkabout during the Boston Marathon. The tentative plan is to meet up at 12noon at the big water...

Exploit Boston Event Photos at Bostonist

It appears to be Bostonist day here at sooz.com. ;) A while ago I set up a photo group at flickr specifically for event photos taken around Boston. The group is currently at 55 photographers who contribute photos taken at a variety of Boston events: baseball games, concerts, author events, game nights, festivals, etcetera. Bostonist...

The event happens this Saturday, March 25th at 8pm at The Kinsale in downtown Boston across the street from Government Center at 2 Center Plaza. See you there?
