2 Major Postings Today!

Whew! What a day for Lamocu Productions and The InSights Group! Two major premieres created one unforgettable experience.

Starting with the debut of The Brighton Gallery "at InSights" at 4 and Ms. Tracey Vitkay did an a wonderful job. Attendance was what one might expect for a first time event but traffic picked up as we got closer to the concert. As roadies and entourages made their way into our facility, discussions about the works in the gallery became a common occurrence. Tracey was at her best not only talking about her own work but also outlining her program for aspiring artists. And here's the kicker, listen to this program...

YOU MUST SHARE THIS WITH EVERY ART TEACHER YOU KNOW.

From now until March 14th, we will be accepting portfolios from students to have their work displayed at the Brighton Gallery "at InSights". Ms. Vitkay will review the submissions, offer counsel to the students, and display the best of their work. How cool is this? Your answer "should be" very cool, extremely cool, awesome cool, astronomically cool or all of the above.

When the show began (which of course was Excellent. Thank you Tom Harris) we decided we would do little "brought to you by" segments throughout the show for sponsors. First "brought to you by" was ...(wait for it) The Gallery "at InSights" and Tracey did the announcement. After outlining her program the crowd of over a hundred (85 paid, performers, roadies & entourages included) gave her an enthusiastic ovation! There are not enough variations of "cool" and "excellent" to describe that scene, except to say it gave you goose bumps.

Then there was the show itself. The Saline Community Television Network was on hand capturing the event to do a pilot for proposed television show. It is our hope that this event will turn into a local variation of Prairie Home Companion or possibly a local version of Austin City Limits---or both! The working name for at least one of these projects will be The Guild of InSightful Sounds, coming to you from The InSights Group in Brighton. The producers of course will be us, I mean that "almost" goes without saying doesn't it?

Our audio producer Billy Paul, while accumulating release forms from the artist, also had them fill out an information sheet for our data base. All of the artists when learning what we were proposing to do expressed interest in returning. We had a wealth of talent here at InSights this past Saturday and all of them are interested in taking their careers to the next level. That's all for this installment I guess, as things develop we will keep you posted.

We have a lot to do this week so be on the look out for our third installment of Fantasy Band coming up next. Again we want to thank all the feedback we have received on this. Some great comments left on the blog, some spirited emails and even some threatening phone calls...but all in good fun! Remember we have done Bassists and Keyboardists already, this week...Drummers.
