Starway Navigating

Clouds graze the skyline, buildings clutter up space, the ocean smells of waste, and everybody I know is buried underneath a clutter of internet jargon -- and now I'm searching through the highways of the deep underworlds of cyberhighways looking for those suppressed artisans, the talented at heart, and the dreamers. It's like digging up fossils, finding your method of preservation, and bringing it from the surface into clean air. I'm searching for people to connect them with places that will help launch their dreams, bring them to glory, and actually work in what their heart desires.


It's like reaching down into an abyss and trying to find as many lost lights as possible and bring them back into the night sky. Navigating through all the pollution, all the tricks, and all the frauds is no easy task. Finding and connecting people is a talent and one that builds over a series of years.


But through it all, I hope I can find a few stars hidden behind all these black holes.


Maybe gigsalad.com will be the way for you to be delivered from the piles of internet deluge.

Working at Gigsalad

It's a whole a new adventure in helping a company connect entertainment with the right venue. I've just started working here, and since I come from a fairly artistic background, I'm excited to see how I can help other talented individuals find the appropriate place for their dreams. I'm a skilled writer, musician, film entrepreneur, cake baker, novice photographer, and well, I just can't help but get my hands into the creative world.

I am just now figuring out what my role will be at gigsalad.com, but I've been hired for writing and marketing assistance. I hope to explore and come to a better understanding of all levels of entertainment, whether ballet, magic shows, florist work, puppetry, and caricature art. Clearly, this business is trying to open as many doors as possible for the creative at heart and I intend to use this blog to comment on the various crafts of the world from helping bands find the right venues to connecting Elvis impersonators to the right shows, festivals, and even films.

In a world that persists on online interaction, Gigsalad may be the next step in connecting talent with venue, a new type of networking both for those seeking a job and those needing to fill a space for creative development.

Peace, love & gigs
