<p>So this weekend was fun. Lots of music and that&#8217;s without even making it to <a href="http://pitchforkmusicfestival.com/" target="_blank">Pitchfork</a>! </p>
<p>Our band, <a href="http://CrazyScorsese.com" target="_blank">Crazy Scorsese</a>, played <a href="http://www.martyrslive.com/" target="_blank">Martyr&#8217;s</a> &#8211; our biggest venue to date &#8211; on Friday. And we played with some other really talented bands &#8211; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/huemusic" target=_blank">The HUE</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/savvychicago" target="_blank">Savvy</a>, and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Empty-Space-Orchestra/80744871179" target="_blank">Empty Space Orchestra</a>. Really can&#8217;t say enough good things about all those bands. I enjoyed watching all of them and I recommend checking them out. </p>
<p>A lot of people at the show mentioned that our sound at Martyr&#8217;s was really good. So thank you <a href="http://www.martyrslive.com/tech" target="_blank">sound guy</a>! <img src='http://www.JohnFitzsimmons.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  And speaking of which &#8211; we recorded the show! We&#8217;ll probably post the whole thing to our Facebook soon but for now here is a sneak peak of that night&#8217;s version of <a href="http://bit.ly/o9N176">Whiskey Party</a> (<-- Download!). </p>
<p>Then Saturday I finally caught <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/As-Fourty-Sleeps/106555363274" target="_blank">As Fourty Sleeps</a> playing up in Rogers Park @ Fritzy&#8217;s. As Fourty Sleeps is a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=511816744" target="_blank">Jack Brett</a> fronted acoustic folk rock outfit and man do they write some well crafted tunes. Total contrast to Saturday night&#8217;s electric rock fest but, damn, it&#8217;s good stuff. Check them out too!</p>
<p>Chicago in the Summer is so musically active with all the street fests, music fests, and awesome venues. Still, I can&#8217;t help but think the city could use one more Summer music fest&#8230; more on that coming soon.</p>
<p>Now back to the entrepreneurial tasks of the week. We&#8217;ve got client&#8217;s to work for, <a href="http://lollapalooza2011.com/lolla-app/" target="_blank">an app to promote</a>, a network of blogs and social media to maintain and we&#8217;re working on making the the &#8220;mobile app development + social media = contest win&#8221; into a case study. </p>
<p>So, never a dull moment! </p>
