This was the second year for the ”Indie Entertainment Summit” held in the
NoHo Arts District of North Hollywood, California, which concluded last
weekend. The five day summit hosted speakers, seminars, panels and workshops
which were conducted personally and up close with the who’s who’s in the music
entertainment industry. This included label reps (major and independent),
attorneys, personal managers, recording and mastering engineers, home studio
set-up & recording equipment technical experts, platinum and gold
producers, songwriters and artists. The five nights of the summit also held
live music showcases for a couple of hundred bands from all over the U.S. and
the world in some eighteen clubs and venues in the area. And of course, the
after parties were a major draw weather you attended the summit or not as
usual.

“IES 13 was an overwhelming success”,
states IES Founder & Chairman Jay Warsinske, “with the incredible level of
top industry movers & shakers speaking, major technologies & innovators
involved & the high level of networking & opportunities, everyone is
saying it will be more important than SXSW, Sundance, Ascap Expo & all the
rest for serious entertainment professionals & talent!”
Warsinske is a 40-year music industry
veteran and has been responsible tor the career advancement of some of the
biggest superstars in music from rap/hip hop to rock. His company “Indiepower.com” Is the #1 company in
the world to promote, market, develop and push independent artists without them
giving up their publishing, merchandising and other sources of revenue.
Warsinske is all smiles when he says, “The industry and attendees are saying
IES is ‘the right thing, in the right place, at the right time’. And with
industry super heavyweights such as the #1 songwriter of all time Diane Warren
attending this year’s IES HONORS along with other icons in attendance such as
Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, P-Funk, The Who, Ozzy Osbourne & Randy Rhoads, Foo
Fighters & other legends, IES is firmly established as the greatest event
in the world for serious artists, producers, managers, labels, production
companies, DJs, video/film makers & entertainment / technology
entrepreneurs.”

The
Constant Battle
I realize that there is a constant
never ending battle. Good vs. Evil. We may have a beautiful garden
but if we don’t maintain it the weeds will take over. It’s the same with
our minds. If we don’t guard our thoughts, the bad thoughts will grow
like weeds in a garden and strangle our potential and our productivity.
Jamie Masada, the owner of The Laugh Factory, has a quote posted,
“Laughter is the best Medicine”. That’s why I love making people
laugh. Laughter stops the angry depressing weeds from growing in our
minds. You can’t be laughing and be angry at the same time. Well
unless you’re doing an evil laugh. Remember, every minute spent angry is
60 seconds of happiness wasted.
