Some really good insight into customer relationships and social media from Gary V at the 2011 RE/MAX Annual Convention.

I have always enjoyed Blindside and was able to attend their show at the Altar Bar in Pittsburgh on 9-7-11. These guys have been playing music since 1994 and have some great songs. This is “My Heart Escapes” from their latest album “With Shivering Hearts We Wait“.

I could listen to these guys play guitar all day. I should probably just buy the album In Session.

About Once Nothing:
They’re back for one night only! Don’t miss your chance you see Pittsburgh’s most triumphant metal band live in concert!

Self-described as “blue-collar metal,” Pittsburgh Pennsylvania’s Once Nothing exemplify that moniker perfectly, embodying the grit and glory of the Steel City, possessing an unrivaled work ethic and a rarely paralleled song-craft.

Once Nothing – Waves
Final show at Altar Bar in Pittsburgh, PA April 5, 2009

After an amazing run covering close to 10 years Once Nothing played their final show at Altar Bar last night in Pittsburgh, PA. These guys have been great friends to me and even put up with me sleeping on their couch for a couple months a few years back. It doesn’t seem like that long ago Fit The Mold, Ten Cent Glamour and Once Nothing were sharing the stage on a weekly basis.

Here is the original announcement by Todd…

I did have a big speech planned out but instead i’m scrapping it and just getting to the point.

After almost 10 years, countless tours, 2 vans, 4 trailers,tons of demos, an EP on CI Records and a full length on Solid State Records, a few member changes and a million memories ONCE NOTHING IS OVER.

I’m sorry if this is a shock but this needs to happen. There is no other reason for this, other than the simple fact that this is the right time. All the members of ON (past and present) love and care for one another like brothers.

On behalf of all of those involved with ON, THANK YOU! We have had the time of our lives and we will forever cherish all of the memories and stories that we have made! God Bless Everyone and THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING BLUE COLLAR METAL!!!!

Your forever grateful friend,
Todd Lowry

I dug up a few old photos from the archive.
