1. 1.)First to RT this post (unselfish)

   2.) First to comment (ahead of the curve)

   3.)Need a vacation from my day job in tech marketing (no excuse for that)

   4.) Working a new blog specifically on the topic of marketing digital music @ http://eleetmusic.com (to be released on 2/25 & 2/26)

   5.) Read hypebot daily (its my bible, my nytimes)

2. Firstly, I’m the only regular rss reader of hypebot who is not only an ASCAP recording songwriter/singer/artist in a new electro folk pop band called Canorous (we’re releasing our first full 16 track digital-only album in three languages across four continents this March) but is also a Digital Music executive at a pre-series A start up, Global Media Bank, from Sweden http://globalmediabank.com, the first digital royalty settlement and collection platform for digital online and mobile retail storefronts and all labels (we power Spotify!).
   Secondly, I’m a Mobile Internet industry content veteran, who has worked for seven pre-series A start ups over the last 15 years.
   Furthermore, I’m one of a handful of digital renaissance men, who are composers, writers, and, sportsmen: in my case, a semi-professional Ironman and Olympic triathlete who has been to the Olympic trials in 2000 and 2004.
   Finally, what OTHER reader has the insight to see every angle of the digital value chain–from back-end digital systems to the artist pov, to consumer consumption habits–than I that also has the competency and clarity to write about it?
   Thanks very much for your consideration, Bruce.
   Kindest regards,
   Uro

4. I’d love to be a part of the conference, and hope to speak at the next one. As the founder of evolvor.com, I’ve spent the better part of five years learning how to use the web to promote and distribute content, and do so specifically for artists and musicians.
   Some of my content has even been linked to here at Hypebot, and you can be sure that my time there will be documented professionally.
   It would be great to share some of my ideas on how to change this industry (for the better) with those involved in person!

5. Hell, I’d like to write with you anyway! I’m in Johannesburg which is a 15-hour flight from New York, so I’ll skip the conference, but here are some music-related samples of my writing:

   http://www.mbac.co.za
   http://www.singers.co.za
   Nothing too fancy, still trying to play catch-up with the rest of the world re applications, etc. But the theory is sound…

7. Would appreciate your consideration to represent Hypebot at the Digital Music Forum because:
   • According to hopstop.com it’s a 44-minute commute door-to-door for me — which will allow me to actually read the NY Post in the morning.
   • I’m an old school label sales head and relationship guy with a new school passion for social media channels… I will tweet during the day.
   • Would love to hear The State of the Digital Union panel to garner perspective as to where the industry is headed.
   • I’m a convention veteran having attended NARM for the better part of two decades. The best conversations are often had outside of the conference rooms.
   • Freshly shined shoes are ready for action.
   • I think all of the other submissions above are worthy choices: perhaps you award/select an entire Hypebot tweet team to attend?
   Thanks.
