#dmfwest @spinaltap @nedsherman @mobileroadie in the house…
RT @TAGStrategic: Ted’s opening remarks @ DMFW: we need better licensing, sustainable margins, acceptable price points, and dialogue. #dmfw
Ya’ll know that Ted Cohen is @spinaltap right? Follow him! #DMFW
Hoping some of these presentations will be available online to review later (hint). #DMFW
WOW Ted Mico just pulled out a Captain Beefheart reference. He is my new favorite. #dmfw

#dmfw @GetGlue might be a good music discovery/word of mouth marketing tool – esp for catalog artists (i ♥ jellyfish) http://bit.ly/9SGhHc
Good Question – what about #GeoLocation #LBS and #music? #DMFW Good answers from @moblieroadie@brocksteady & Mitch Rotter (uni)
yes – Artist to Fan engagement is the key
PS> check @eventful for touring requests… #dmfw
Discussion about ticket sales with @stubhub – dunno what I think about it yet… does the artist get a cut? #dmfw
?Is it wrong to resell a concert ticket? Why? Not sure f I agree but @stubhub has a point-is it different frm re-selling a Hockey tic? #dmfw
Paperless concert tickets suck without any transferability. if I can’t go to a show-I want to give the tickets to my sister! thoughts? #dmfw
#dmfw RT @SuCrew @rynda @stubhub tricky issue-1 thing to buy tix & have plans change-another to buy tix with intent to make profit reselling
#dmfw RT @a2d2: @rynda transferable online tickets. Cede ownership via email, online confirm. VidGame channel resellers like Steam do it now
Thanks #DMFW for an informative and excitement filled day! #coctailtime
