We are very sad to learn that our friend Gord Downie, lead singer for our client, The Tragically Hip, passed away a couple of days ago from the brain cancer he was diagnosed with in May of 2016. I and my staff would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends, bandmates and even the country of Canada where Gord was […]
Last night Jackie and I had an opportunity to see the first LOL Brazil show held in Orlando. Brazilian comedians, Leo Lins and Murilo Couto hit the stage at The Plaza Live and had the audience LOL. Here are some action photos of us with the comics prior to the show. We are looking forward to seeing Mauricio Meirelles perform […]
Delia had a blast in Miami, FL at the III Points Festival seeing our client, Gorillaz, perform! We wouldn’t miss a chance to see their first performance in Florida! Above you can see Delia with Damon Albarn and her brother.
Tuesday evening we had an opportunity to meet our client, Haken at Skully’s Music Diner. What a great venue! I wish there was a venue like that in Orlando. Here is an action photo of all of us prior to the show. This was their very first trip to Ohio so Rob Nance, the Mayor of Egret, Ohio, came out […]
I just returned home from the ConsERT Retreat at the historic Thayer Hotel in West Point, NY. Yes, that West Point; the home of our United States Military Academy. I don’t get to travel as much as some of the folks reading this blog and when I do, staying at a hotel like The Thayer is amazing. Please don’t miss an […]

They are our second client that we now know of that has cut a national commercial. Not one […]
Today the Warped Tour returned to Orlando, held at Tinker Field, a park where the old Tinker Field minor league baseball stadium previously resided. However, the weather gods were not kind to our clients this year. A massive thunderstorm rolled through late afternoon. This wasn’t the typical Central Florida 20-minute hard storm – it lasted for quite some time. Luckily […]
I just returned from this year’s NAPAMA retreat, held again in the beautiful Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort in the Poconos, that I described in a bit more detail in a post from last year’s event. I gave another rousing talk about CWA’s and when it was over, I suddenly realized I’m becoming the “Tyrion Lannister” from “Game of Thrones” in […]
Las Vegas was the hosting city for the National Conference of Personal Managers. As a CPA, I’m a numbers guy, so I notice things about numbers, especially percentages, all the time. This trip I discovered that the 30% rule for withholding tax on foreign entertainers is loathed by 100% of the personal managers I talked with 100% of the time, […]
