We're looking for a second assistant. Obviously. Please pass along if you know anyone who's looking. High five!
Dickhouse Productions seeks a full time second assistant in Los Angeles. Candidates must be highly motivated, organized, and able to multi-task. Phone skills, grace under pressure, and access to a car are also a must. The office is fun and a little wacky, so thin skins should not apply. Second Assistant duties include, but are not limited to, answering phones, office managerial and maintenance tasks, research, running office (and some personal) errands, and the opportunity to read/write coverage for feature and tv projects in development. Agency experience and reading experience are a big plus, but not required.

Hi, I'm helping find a guitarist or two for a showcase and press event at Christie's auction house, October 3rd in New York. Details are below. This would be non-compensation, other than expenses for the day (transportation + food) but the event will likely garner major music press (AP/Getty/Reuters, CNN, and local broadcasting stations). Any ideas or suggestions from label folks or publicists would be seriously considered and appreciated! The opportunity for these musicisians to noodle away on some crazy rare (and expensive) guitars could be a once in a lifetime kind of thing! And it would be cool to showcase musicians with their own press appeal or some kind personal relationship to C.F. Martin guitars -- but it's not necessary. But these musicians should be serious guitarists -- and could be from any genre -- rock, pop, classic, country/western etc. (although no shredding, probably...but maybe!)
NP: The sweet sounds of the McCain/Palin gaffe machine saying stupid crap.
xo, Megan

As we discussed earlier, I am looking for one or two (preferably two) guitar musicians who can showcase their talent on Friday, October 3rd at 10am. They will be playing C.F. Martin guitars that we will be offer for auction on October 10th. Highlights of the sale will include an assortment of limited edition proto-types, unique experimental editions, inactive models and signature series featuring the D-45 Gene Autry, the first signature series guitar made with a living artist (estimate: $20,000-30,000). Among other signature series models, Christie’s will be offering the 000-45 Jimmy Rodgers (estimate: $12,000-18,000), D-28 Hank Williams (estimate: $10,000-15,000), 000-28 Eric Clapton (estimate: $1,500-2,500), SWC Classic Sting (estimate: $1,500-2,500), 000-40Q2 Graham Nash (estimate: $1,600-2,800), and OM-45B Roy Rogers (estimate: $15,000-25,000).
Although we can't compensate them monetarily, we can however provide a car service/ breakfast. This would be great exposure for them because our media events includes photo/camera/radio press (AP/Getty/Reuters, CNN, and local broadcasting stations).
This auction is rare and important because it's in honor of the C.F. Martin 175th anniversary, with all proceeds from the 49 guitars benefiting The Martin Guitar Charitable Foundation*.
Musicians who can play from country and blues to rock and roll would be great!
*About The Martin Guitar Charitable Foundation The Martin Guitar Charitable Foundation is a private foundation established in 1996 by C. F. Martin IV to encourage and support 501(c) (3) charitable organizations that have a positive impact upon the acoustic music community, or which provide programs and services that benefit employees of C.

I'm just finishing up a short piece for BPM Magazine about cardboard sculptor, artist Chris Gilmour. Should be out in the next issue. Keep an eye peeled!

Hey friends - weird query. Pass it on if you think you know someone. ATP New York would love to have a young, saavy up-coming photographer be a staff photographer for the event. Must know how to shoot live.
We would need these uploaded daily to a share site for other media to use IF NEEDED with YOUR PHOTO CREDIT. ATP would also like to have usage of these photos and ownership. Willing to discuss the deal.
There is no pay - but we can offer 2 full passes and a bed to the right person or team. ! Really a good opportunity for someone young and up-coming to get some credits, make some connections and have blast.
Oasis' Noel Gallagher Assaulted On Stage In Toronto
Tripwire reports: Maybe this guys was a mistaken, ugly Radiohead fan, but what's even more surprising than this on-stage attack of Noel is that brother Liam actually stuck up for him.
While performing "Morning Glory" - much to the delight of those in attendance at Toronto's 2008 Virgin Festival, a man suddenly appears on stage and, without warning, pushes an unsuspecting guitarist Noel Gallagher to the floor - seemingly also to the delight of those in attendance - causing a halt in the performance for several minutes. We don't want to ruin the surprise, but it happens right around the 1:30 mark of this clip. Once nerves and microphones were restored, the band resumed performing with "The Importance of Being Idle."
