OpenMusicMedia Meet – join us in London on 30th July
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008
In his essay earlier this year Wired’s Kevin Kelly outlined his theory of 1000 True Fans. Interestingly enough 1000 is the average number of fans that invest in each successful artist/band on Sellaband, the controversial site where artists aim to raise $50,000 by selling ‘parts’ to ‘believers’.
For our next OpenMusicMedia Meet we’ll be joined by Sellaband’s Creative Director Pim Betist who’s flying into London as our special guest for what should be a very interesting converstation. Come and join in by getting down to the William IV pub next Wednesday 30th July.
For more info go to our OpenMusicMedia blog and make sure you RSVP if you want to come down.
If you weren’t lucky enough to be there for our first ever OpenMusicMedia Meet with Anthony Volodkin from HypeMachine, then here is what you can expect:

The group serves as a meeting point for people with similar interests and open up conversations between them. Everyone is encouraged to hang around after the discussion to eat and drink. The William IV serves great food!

DRESS CODE: Informal. No vested interests, no politics and no agendas.
