Ticket Alternative Wishful Office Renovations!

It’s fun to have dreams and hope for something greater regardless of what it might be and here at TATP headquarters we’re no different. Well, actually we are a little different and that’s because the things we hope and dream for are a little absurd. One popular and sillier topics of conversation around the office include the great potential for our office to become something more reminiscent of a fun house. Rather than ball pits and crawl-through tunnels we were thinking of some things better suited to our needs here. So we’ve come up with a list of some amazing and super fun ideas for some office renovations. 

1.            A Slide!

Out with the old….

…and in with the new.

 

(Rather than the conventional desk set up, we’d have sprial staircases and the works)

 
3.            WhirlyBall on the roof

4.            Soundproof print room

5.            Those sleep-chamber things in The Fifth Element, where you lay down, press a button and you’re OUT.

6.            TA Café – Where “Boca Bucks” can be earned for free lattes, cappuccinos, etc. (Complete with in-house barista.)

7.            Omelet Bar/Prime Rib Bar.

9.            A vending machine.  Just a simple, vending machine.

Pretty sweet, eh? I mean, am I right or am I right?

The TA Live SXSW ’10 Q & A with Favorite Gentlemen’s Jeremiah Edmond

Ticket Alternative is partnering with indie record label Favorite Gentlemen for a SXSW showcase at the Belmont in Austin, TX on Thursday, March 18. AMG sent Favorite Gentlemen president Jeremiah Edmond the SXSW ’10 Q & A. This is what he said.

You’re soon to be on the road to SXSW! According to Google maps, the trip from ATL to Austin = approx. 16 hours driving. What are your three essential road trip albums?

This year is different in that this is the first year I am attending only from the label side of things (Favorite Gentlemen) and not as an artist. That means I am not making my way out to Austin while already on tour OR making the long drive straight there and back. That changes the choice of travel music for sure.

• Kings of Leon – Aha Shake Heartbreak
• Jay-Z – Black Album
• My Morning Jacket – Z

• Collective Efforts - Trail Mix
• Wiz Khalifa – Burn After Rolling
• Meth, Ghost & Rae – Avenging The Eagle … Continue Reading

Q&A with Cymbals Eat Guitars’ Joseph D’Agostino; Playing Rock and Roll Hotel March 6 and The EARL March 11

By Julia Reidy

What do you do when your debut record gets more attention than you ever thought it would? When it’s the blogosphere that drives your success, and your nascent band suddenly has the weight of the critical community behind it? You go on tour! Cymbals Eat Guitars will stop at The EARL and at Rock and Roll Hotel on their first national headlining run. They’ll be performing selections from Why There Are Mountains, the much-lauded, muscular LP the band released this past September via Sister’s Den Records. Supported by recent indie luminaries Bear In Heaven and Freelance Whales, it stands to be a night to remember. TA Live talked with frontman Joseph D’Agostino about the snowball of success and what it’s like to live with your ears burning.

I really enjoyed your record. Can you talk to me about what it’s been like on your end? It got the mythical Pitchfork Best New Music tag, and people have been noticing it in a pretty big way.

We didn’t have an audience or a career or anything that you might consider serious before we received that review. Really, receiving the Best New Music and the amount of play that we were starting to get from WOXY radio in Cincinnati, those were the two big things that sort of helped elevate our band to the point where we had to be viable — like we had to be a good live act, because we hadn’t been playing any shows before March of 2008, really. At the same time, there’s definitely a disconnect between internet hype and actually attending shows and things. But I get the feeling that we are enjoying a pretty unique situation, because it also seems that the spread of our record has been very much a word of mouth kind of thing, rather than one huge crush, and then suddenly we’re just ubiquitous. … Continue Reading

True Colors Hosts Q&A with Kenny Leon after Saturday Performance of Our Town in Atlanta

True Colors Theatre Company have added a Q&A session with their artistic director Kenny Leon after the Saturday, March 6 evening performance of Our Town at Southwest Arts Center. This is Leon’s last appearance in Atlanta before he heads to Broadway to direct Denzel Washington and Viola Davis in Fences. It also comes right after his being named named the recipient of the 2010 Julie Hansen Award for Excellence in Directing. Atlanta Daily World has the details:

According to the Drama League, Leon was the unanimous choice to receive this year’s honor. The Julia Hansen Award for Excellence in Directing can be won only once in a lifetime and is given to an individual whose work over time sets new standards of directing excellence within American theater.

Read more from that article here. The Q&A will only be open to people who have tickets to that night’s show. Tickets are still on sale at Ticket Alternative.
