Back from the Holiday (however long it was)
Seems like pretty much anyone who was out for the July 4th holiday has made it back. Hope yours was as fun as mine!
Parties on the Patio!
Every so often they let us out of our cage and we are allowed to congregate on the patio for some complimentary food and beverage. This makes us happy and photogenic, look at all those pretty people!
Now, if only the line for burgers weren’t so long and the temperature wasn’t approaching the surface of the sun!
Icky Thump Records
Last week we did the most amazing promotion to launch the new album from The White Stripes, Icky Thump. We took over the old Tower Records location on the Sunset Strip here in LA and converted it, inside and out to "Icky Thump Records". At midnight on Tuesday we opened the store to the hundreds of fans who had been waiting in line outside to buy the record, some for 3 days, and a chance to get a ticket to comeback and see an in-store performance from the band on Wednesday. The kids were all so excited and the energy was amazing. It will certainly be an experience I will remember for as long as I am around this earth.
The show on Wednesday was even more amazing. Jack and Meg were in top form, playing for well over an hour, which was incredible considering they had just played a 2 hour set the night before in New York. After the show ended, kids I had seen waiting in the line for days told me they could now die happy, as that was the most wonderful experience they had ever had.
You can check out a whole host of photos from the event HERE on my Flickr stream.
Murs Visit WBR!
Murs came to visit us yesterday. He was hanging in A&R and we got to discussing what was missing in the offices. We finally decided that it was the Fisher Price "3 in one Fisher Price game table." Remember? Pool, Table Tennis, and Air hockey! I'm pretty sure that the air hockey glows in the dark. We almost bought this one for 40 bucks off craigslist, but it's missing 2 pool balls. If anyone has one lying around, we'll make you a good offer.
