Headlining this 5 day cruise will be "That little ol’ band from Texas,” Rock and Roll Hall of Famers ZZ Top and George Thorogood and The Destroyers who bring their “Bad To The Bone” approach to the high seas. We were wondering if you could possibly give this once in a lifetime vacation any press on your blog in exchange for some autographed CDs, autographed pictures and posters from the many performers of this Cruise? Rock Legends Cruise is slated to depart Fort Lauderdale on December 1 of this year aboard The Royal Caribbean Line’s Liberty of the Seas. The unprecedented cruise will benefit NAHA’s mission to provide emergency assistance and self- help programs to the Sioux Native Americans living on reservations in South Dakota. Along with ZZ Top and Thorogood, the Rock Legends Cruise includes multiple performances from John Kay and Steppenwolf, The Marshall Tucker Band, Dickey Betts & Great Southern, Foghat, Johnny Winter, Molly Hatchet, Devon Allman’s Honeytribe, The Outlaws, Blackfoot, Pat Travers, and SwampDaWamp. It is expected that upwards of 3,200 music fans will be aboard the ship, one of the most biggest, fastest and luxurious passenger vessels in service today, served by a crew of 1,300 on 18 decks. With a gross tonnage of 160,000, it can truly be said that the rock-themed benefit voyage will be a “heavy” experience for both bands and fans. The ship, almost as long as four football fields, cruises at 21.6 knots, is scheduled for port stops in the Bahamas that include Coco Cay and Nassau. Any admat banners or videos needed to promote this Cruise are located at http://fanmanager.net/teams/rocklegendscruise. Please email me if you are interested and have a great day! Thank you for your consideration, Tiffney Tiffney@fanmanager.net http://rocklegendscruise.com/ Hello,

The Partridge Family and the Monkees had some genuine pop hits in their catalogs -- well-crafted, catchy tunes that, if you listen to them today, will still manage to set your brain to "auto-repeat". In the meantime, try The Ting Tings, Muse, and (if you can sort the lyric art from the deeply disturbing content), Eminem! I wouldn’t feel too uncool.

In reference to how you beauty is created and recognized there's some interesting writing by the architect Christopher Alexander who has been wrestling with the same things since the 60's. He articulates them quite well in his latest books: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=kZtZ57_nz-UC&dq=christopher+alexander&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=eKLfcRVzM9&sig=EZGH49DPcOH6_5iASPlMygIKb5Y&hl=en&ei=pIdQS-u5PKPSjAeRw_WnCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CCAQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=&f=false There is also a book about transplanting this to software you may be interested in: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Patterns-Software-Tales-Community/dp/0195121236 Not trying to plug anything, just wanted to pass on my own findings in this area :-) Tom Hi Steve, enjoyed your post and wanted to say the comments about creating beauty are something I also got out of the ZMM book.

I didn’t know you were an old fart like me. In Internet Years, I’m one hundred and seventy three years old.
I was at Grateful Dead shows that weren’t sold out. (Half-empty, in fact. Ahh, those were the days, getting home after dawn.)
Yes, I too, find writing about music a pleasurable and easy segué.
Phaedrus – haven’t thought about that book in years, a real blast from the past.
Happy New Year.

I'm confused by this spam blocker though, "5 plus twenty-to =" ... never seem a spam blocker that involves phonetic typos before. I suppose there is beauty in that two ~:) There’s definitely an elegance to high performance websites, and plenty to be found on your blog – no need to worry on that front!
