It’s real.
FIRST OFF: I want to thank Ryan Van Etten of VirtualMusic.tv so much for the article he wrote about us for his blog.
I don’t know if I’ve been living in a fantasy world for the past 6 months but this shit is real. I don’t know why, but tonight I’m realizing that this is actually going to happen. Sound Around is going to make it’s way into the world. Sound Around is going to crush it. I can just feel it.
So much has changed in the past 6 months. Where to start? My lifestyle, my goals, the way I spend my time, the people I choose to spend my time with, what I value in people (and no it’s not that they’re are working hard, it’s people that are doing something they enjoy).
If you told me a year ago what the following year had in store for me…I’d slap you in the face for being a damn dirty liar. I spoke with the CEO and marketing director of a distribution company about an iPhone solution for the some of the 400 record labels they do digital distribution for. Last year this time? I was…I think researching the different mobile platforms for the Bob and the Showgram App (which would never see the light of day). Oh how things of changed. I’m more conscious of how I spend my time…probably to a fault.
We’re launching in about a week and going balls-to-the-walls with this. I think we’re in an amazing position to be successful, maybe even win in this market. More beta apps coming down the pipes — 3 already on the App Store. We’re so lucky to be working with some amazing bands — a particularly famous one might be in the works…I really hope it all works out.
In the meantime, it’s nose to the grindstone. Late nights, early mornings, skipped parties, hardly watched NBA Finals, totally unwatched World Cup, neglected girlfriends (Sorry Caroline, I love you so much though =D ), neglected diets, neglected work outs but probably worst of all…no Super Smash Bros 64 =(. Oh, the humanity.
